I didn't stop in the town with the White Pride Radio billboard - Harrison, Arkansas. Why would I? Sure, the racists have every right to say it, but I have every right to just keep on driving.
Looked like a nice town to photograph, too. Looking into its very recent history, it seems like it's a "sundown town," a town where nonwhites aren't allowed to be after dark. (And yes, *legally* the town is not allow to do this, but effectively, that's just how it is. Or "was," I guess.)
So I stopped in a bunch of other towns that weren't Harrison. Because fuck those people.

Evening walk reached the place a little late bit still manage to capture a few shots before hearing the wild boars behind me. Better to leave in a hurry.
A photo from 2012 showing Lower Manhattan and the financial district, as seen from the Empire State Building. The photo was taken in the early morning sun, which casted some nice shadows over many buildings. On the left hand side East River is visible, with its iconic bridges. Hudson River is visible on the right hand side. The Freedom Tower was still under construction in 2012. Some other famous landmarks, such as the Statue of Liberty are also visible.
The panorama was composed from nine different photos, all taken using an Olympus PEN E-PL1 camera and M.Zuiko 45mm f/1.8 lens. Although there are some minor stitching and lighting errors I am quite pleased by this end result. :-)

This is an old picture I have never post processed from my last trip in the USA in 2018. Thank you for watching.
Navajo Falls is a gem that resulted from the flash flood that tore through Havasu Canyon in August of 2008. Although this flash flood forever changed the landscape of the canyon, it created a fantastic spot for travelers to enjoy in the afternoon and evening when camping in Havasu Canyon

Grazing in Lower Slaughter.
Despite the harshness of its name the Cotswold village takes its name from the Old English term “slough” which means “wet land”.
Situated just 6.4 kilometres (4 miles) south west of Stow-on-the Wold the village has been inhabited for in excess of 1,000 years and today boasts a population of less than 300.
Whilst it is an agricultural area the village relies heavily on tourism for its financial survival.

This could be my favorite among west coast waterfalls. Love how it gives different looks by season and day. This is the lowest flow I have photographed it at.
I stopped by the lake yesterday in our smokey environment (thus the coloring). The smoke must have driven the insects lower, as the swallows, and this hummingbird, were having a grand time with the selection of tasty treats!

Peirce Reservoir, located at the lower portion of Kallang Valley, was commissioned in 1912. It was originally known as the Kallang River Reservoir and was renamed Peirce Reservoir in 1922 after Robert Peirce, the Municipal Engineer from 1901 to 1916. The reservoir was again renamed Lower Pierce Reservoir in 1975 after the construction of the new Upper Peirce Reservoir. It was Singapore's second and largest impounding reservoir. The maximum capacity of Pierce Reservoir is 757 million gallons.
Burgruine Mödling
Mödling Castle, also known as Mödling Castle Ruins, is the ruins of a hilltop castle above the Mödlingbach Valley with a view of the town of Mödling to the east and the Hussar Temple to the west.
It is located in the Föhrenberge Nature Park, approx. 1 km behind the drop in the mountains on the edge of the Vienna Basin.
The rocky section of the valley at its foot, through which the Mödlingbach stream flows, is called Klausen.
The Mödling district of Vorderbrühl adjoins it in the direction of the Vienna Woods. From the location of the castle, it was easy to recognise dangers approaching from the east, sometimes via advanced observation posts.

As we were driving through the Cotswolds towards Stow-on-the-Wold on our way home from Bath in January 2017 we came across a sign pointing to "The Slaughters", and decided to investigate. The improbably named Lower Slaughter is quite simply one of the prettiest villages that I have come across. With its beautiful Cotswold stone cottages, its shallow river, old watermill and low footbridges it reminds me of Bourton on the Water, which lies just over a mile away. The River Eye (seen here) feeds into the River Windrush to the south of Bourton on the Water.
Lower Largo is a small coastal village in the East Neuk of Fife.
Happy New Year to everyone on Flickr!

She's keeping a wary eye peeled on me as she swam by, on a cold, windy, winter afternoon.

This is from our trip to Oregon in June. Beautiful Lower Kentucky Falls.
I have not been out hiking very much lately or around flickr much either. And I probably won't be around here much in the next couple weeks either. Tomorrow we are off to Disneyland for a few days. Then next week I am off backpacking in Yosemite. So everyone have a good couple weeks!

This was the first waterfall that I visited at Letchworth State Park.

“She is free in her wildness, she is a wanderess, a drop of free water. She knows nothing of borders and cares nothing for rules or customs. 'Time' for her isn’t something to fight against. Her life flows clean, with passion, like fresh water.” - Roman Payne
The lower arch of Zion's Double Arch feature at the end of Taylor Creek Trail in the Kolob Canyons section. On the approach to this double arch, the intense saturated colors on the shaded red walls of the sheer cliffs was absolutely stunning.
We must have been there at just the right time of day when the reflected light from the red rocks on the other side of the canyon intensified the colors. By the time we were heading back, this effect was already beginning to fade.
An image of lower Rousseau Falls located in Northern Ontario last Autumn taking shortly before sunset.
Yosemite Valley, California
Before trekking to the standard Lower Yosemite Falls vista point, I made a detour to the left, immediately after the first bridge.
This was taken a little before 10am. A little bit later and the direct sunlight would have hit the waterfall and stream, which would have made it considerably more difficult to get an evenly exposed shot.
