A beautiful foggy morning here on Binnshire Lane, in beautiful Gouldsboro, Maine. Ena and I walk the lane every morning but few are as spectacular as as today's foggy sunrise.

A small change of pace from the Fall foliage photographs I've been uploading.
We went north on Route 430 yesterday looking for some Autumn color to shoot, but there's hardly anything left up that way. When we left home in Corner Brook it was 18C. A beautiful day. But we weren't out of the valley before it got extremely foggy and the temperature dropped to 9C. After we came down on the other side of the Mountains in Gros Morne, though, it did get sunny and warm again.
By the time we made our way back down off the Northern Peninsula, on the way home, the fog we had encountered earlier was gone, but it had almost completely clouded over. Except for a large hole out over the ocean where some really neat crepuscular rays were shining through. We were in the vicinity of the Lobster Cove head lighthouse near Rocky Harbour, so I decided to make a small detour ... hoping that we would make it in time before the light rays had disappeared ... and that it would be possible to get the rays and the lighthouse in the same shot.
From the parking lot there's a short walk out to the lighthouse and by the time I got there and got myself oriented to shoot, it was like someone had turned a switch and the light rays just disappeared! We waited around for awhile and the light show did return ... not quite as good and along with four tourists who sort of got in the way of the shot I wanted. Anyway, I did manage to get a few useable images.

The last image in this particular series from a stunning Autumn day. Thank you all for the amazing amount of love for the images I have uploaded from that day. It is impossible to thank you all individually or visit your photostream. I really do appreciate every fav and comment so much. Thank you again.
Edited with Picasa, those light rays are real.
My next uploads could well be proud Dad images, the baby is almost overdue, so one way or another he/she will be with us within a week. I'll try to go easy on the cliche cute baby shots ;-)
Light rays highlight the beginning of the North Cascade mountains leading up to the majestic Mt. Baker.

Remastered 7/4/2010:
The sun was off-center and the horizon was crooked - I fixed that. Also, I decided to uncrop a little bit extra on the left and right

My last Paris upload I have decided. Well from this trip anyway. A magical city, for me no other compares and I will not wait as long to return next time. The Eiffel Tower doing what it does best, looking great! With La Defense on the horizon.
Thank you, thank you all!
Yesterday I started my quest for Winter inspiration. It was -5 degrees and I was ridiculously cold. I found I am very ill prepared for this venture in terms of the OBVIOUS like gloves and something for my ears. I felt like I was trudging through a blizzard. I've already started my online shopping so I can continue my winter adventures in a much more warmer (and yes dignified)manner. (suggestions are welcome btw!) On my way back to the outside grounds of our condo, the sun had began to set and the skies were a soft blush of pink and light lavender. The tall fence that gates our community was covered in a glittery veil of snow and the sun was barely peeking over. But enough so that it's rays were beautifully crisp and visible. It made it seem as if something warm and beautiful was just over the fence. Wouldn't it be nice if lost loved ones were "just over the fence"? There's a country song I love by Justin Moore called "If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away." It always pulls on my heart and imagination. I hold onto my memories of Rebekah like tightly kept secret. In that aspect she is always on my side of the fence. <3

Appalachian Mountains
The mountain range is mostly in the United States (U.S.) but it extends into southeastern Canada, forming a zone from 100 to 300 mi (160 to 480 km) wide, running from the island of Newfoundland 1,500 mi (2,400 km) southwestward to Central Alabama in the United States.[discuss] The range covers parts of the islands of Saint Pierre and Miquelon, which comprise an overseas territory of France. The system is divided into a series of ranges, with the individual mountains averaging around 3,000 ft (910 m). The highest of the group is Mount Mitchell in North Carolina at 6,684 feet (2,037 m), which is the highest point in the United States east of the Mississippi River.
The term Appalachian refers to several different regions associated with the mountain range. Most broadly, it refers to the entire mountain range with its surrounding hills and the dissected plateau region. The term is often used more restrictively to refer to regions in the central and southern Appalachian Mountains, usually including areas in the states of Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, and North Carolina, as well as sometimes extending as far south as northern Alabama, Georgia and western South Carolina, and as far north as Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, and parts of southern upstate New York.
The Ouachita Mountains in Arkansas and Oklahoma were originally part of the Appalachians as well but became disconnected through geologic history.
Origin of the name
While exploring inland along the northern coast of Florida in 1528, the members of the Narváez expedition, including Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca, found a Native American village near present-day Tallahassee, Florida whose name they transcribed as Apalchen or Apalachen [a.pa'la.t??n]. The name was soon altered by the Spanish to Apalachee and used as a name for the tribe and region spreading well inland to the north. Pánfilo de Narváez's expedition first entered Apalachee territory on June 15, 1528, and applied the name. Now spelled "Appalachian," it is the fourth-oldest surviving European place-name in the US.[11]
After the de Soto expedition in 1540, Spanish cartographers began to apply the name of the tribe to the mountains themselves. The first cartographic appearance of Apalchen is on Diego Gutierrez's map of 1562; the first use for the mountain range is the map of Jacques le Moyne de Morgues in 1565.[12]
The name was not commonly used for the whole mountain range until the late 19th century. A competing and often more popular name was the "Allegheny Mountains", "Alleghenies", and even "Alleghania". In the early 19th century, Washington Irving proposed renaming the United States either Appalachia or Alleghania.[13]
In U.S. dialects in the southern regions of the Appalachians, the word is pronounced /?æp?'læt??nz/, with the third syllable sounding like "latch". In northern parts of the mountain range, it is pronounced /?æp?'le?t??nz/ or /?æp?'le???nz/; the third syllable is like "lay", and the fourth "chins" or "shins".[14] There is often great debate between the residents of the regions as to which pronunciation is the more correct one. Elsewhere, a commonly accepted pronunciation for the adjective Appalachian is /?æp?'læt?i?n/, with the last two syllables "-ian" pronounced as in the word "Romanian".[15]

this mornings walk...a hand held 3 shot bracket processed with Photomatix then I selected & sharpened the path in Photoshop.
Sunrays and layers of desert mountains creating a complex mosaic of light and shadow. Captured near Khasab, Oman in December, 2019.
It's a dull, grey overcast cloudy day today; a good reason to post a photo with a SUN...
Have a nice day everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my American friends. And thanks to all for your visits, comments, faves and suggestions.
A trace of morning mist in our local Moody Park.
The park was named for Major-General Richard Clement Moody, the first Lieutenant-Governor of the Colony of British Columbia.
While my cell phone will certainly never replace my K3, it's nice to have a camera with me pretty much all the time.

If you are planning to hike up the Kleiner Mythen, check out my blog post and hike report on the best vantage points on this hike.
I went back to the Kleiner Mythen for Sunset this weekend. This shot was taken about an hour before sunset.
The first time I hiked up the Kleiner Mythen, I came across a couple of good vantage points on the way up. This is one of them, I think it's called, and it's called Zwüschet Mythen. The lake in the middle is Lake Lucerne.
