Shot in digital infrared between 7000 and 8000 feet in the Santa Catalina mountains north of Tucson, Arizona. The view looks down at the east slope of the Santa Catalinas and beyond that to the San Pedro river valley.
During the monsoon rains the levels of Tonle Sap lake in central Cambodia rise dramatically and the floating village migrates from the lake to the Siem Reap River. The road that serves the fishing village has been built up several meters above the surrounding water but even the part of the road at the top of the built-up area seen here will be underwater at peak water. This is the end of the road before the peak water levels, where all the goods that are needed in the large floating village are delivered.

The cliffs of the Rio Grande Gorge rise delicately lit by storm cloud diffused sunlight, giving a silvery glow to the rugged black basalt and vibrant green high desert foliage. This is one of the most beautiful times of year in the northern New Mexico high desert. Taos, NM rests in the shadow of the southern range of the Rocky Mountains above the cliffs..

This year's monsoon has failed miserably as far as rainfall goes, but it sure has produced some stunning sunsets. The weatherman says there is a 50/50 chance of heavy thunderstorms here over the next 2 days... I seriously doubt it - My Rooftop, Phoenix, Arizona

The 2012 Monsoon has officially begun -at least the calendar based one, which has little to do with today's actual weather. Sometime during the next 30 days or so, the prevailing winds will shift to the south and southeast, allowing tropical moisture to pour into the desert southwest, which creates the proper conditions for large convective thunderstorms to form. The classic 'dry heat' of Arizona will go away and significant humid mugginess will prevail. The monsoon normally lasts until early to mid-September. Hopefully, this year's monsoon will bring lots of desperately needed rainfall to at least temporarily reduce the impacts of our ongoing drought. This shot of an isolated thundershower was from last summer's monsoon, which in most places was a total failure as far as major rainfall goes. - Sonoran Desert, Maricopa County, Arizona

Monsoon season in the Grand Canyon is pretty spectacular, especially if you're inside.
Incidentally, this is not a monochrome image. It just seems that way.

This is just a little experiment (NOT a new direction :^) , it probably won't be up here for very long.
[edited] Well, I guess I've gotta leave it up now :^)
Moonlight beauty.

The fisherman, semi-hidden by his hanging net, is beating the net with a paddle to dislodge the small fish from the net. This is scene from the floating village that migrates between Tonle Sap Lake and the Siem Reap River with the monsoon rains.

Aping late Ansel Adams poorly and in color. Pueblo Peak stands in the distance across from Taos, NM during a fine monsoon season, arguably the most beautiful season in northern New Mexico.

Having too much fun spending 12 hours straight hiking and climbing to every peek in Soledad Canyon. I could barely move the next day.
I got stuck on the way back and sat in front of the camera for about 10 minutes trying to put my feet on one wall and my hands on the other wall and shimmy my way down. Eventually made it without getting soaked.

I have travelled all my life but never before have I been in a country where the principal characteristic of the people seems to be their smile. Despite Laos poverty and isolation, its people were some of the kindest and most outgoing we've ever met. Its delightful old world charm has not been despoiled by the slow but steady pace of modernization. A number of kids played along the paddy fields greeted us. This sweet girl were taken care of her water buffalo while her parent working in the pdaddy fields. This is Laos, a land of ethnically diverse inhabitants but where gentle, open, beaming smiles surround you wherever you go. And never since my school days have I heard so much giggling, both in cities and in the countryside, as both young and old go about their daily activities. A naturally sweet nature seems to have survived centuries of fighting and turbulent change, while the results of the intense barrage of bombs and Agent Orange dropped on Laos during the Vietnam war still affects, in some way, almost every family in the country. To Westerners, with our grumbles and grouses about the slightest inconveniences to our lives, it is a revelation. Until recently Laos was an Asian backwater. When it opened its doors again to foreign visitors in the Nineties there were few modern amenities and no tourist infrastructure. Now this sleepy, rural land is waking up to tourism
Photo of a lovely girl taken on the island Don Det - Laos. The little island located in the Mekong river. While her father is ploughing in the rice fields and her mother transplanting rice seedlings this young girl taking care of her water buffalo. A great place to explore some of the lesser-known areas of the southern region of Laos. A place to meet the friendly Lao people despite their poverty and isolation. A place to meet Beauty and the Beast.
Si Phan Don, ook bekend als 4 duizend eilanden is gelegen in het zuiden van Laos. Hier is de Mekong op sommige gebieden wel 14 km breed. Don Det eiland is een oase van rust want gemotoriseerd verkeer is er nog vrijwel onbekend. Je kunt hier heerlijk wandelen langs tempeltjes, rijstvelden, lotusvijvers en kleine dorpjes. Don Det is wel een beetje een backpackers paradijs met goedkope bamboehutjes, pancakes en Frans stokbrood. Samengevat: peace & happiness. Voor de gemiddelde toerist is er erg weinig te doen, maar voor mij is de omgeving schitterend en heel rustgevend. De omgeving nodigt uit tot het maken van flinke wandelingen, maar je kunt het eiland ook prima per fiets verkennen. We hebben dan ook maar een fiets gehuurd en een rondje gemaakt. Werkelijk prachtig en heerlijk om door onbedorven dorpjes en de prachtige groene rijstvelden te rijden waar iedereen ons zwaaiend met Sabaidee begroette. Een land naast Thailand van de glimlach. De glimlachjes die ik hier overal krijg toegeworpen zijn oprecht. Ik voel me jarig, alsof ik de hele dag kadootjes krijg. Naast vriendelijk is Laos ook nog eens mooi. Als er een Authentiek Azië; bestaat, moet het Laos zijn. En als je ook maar enigszins je best doet om contact te krijgen met de bevolking zal je worden uitgenodigd om binnen te kijken en wat te eten en drinken. We hebben verder naar veel kinderen gezwaaid, veel glimlachjes teruggegeven. Zeker voor de avontuurlijke reiziger herbergt dit land een grote hoeveelheid aan onontdekte natuurschatten, vriendelijke mensen en een gevoel dat veel nog puur is.

Arizona monsoon cloud with lightning striking the beautiful Sonoran desert in North Scottsdale.
This striking photograph captures a powerful monsoon thunderstorm lighting up the desert sky in Arizona. Towering cumulonimbus clouds dominate the frame, glowing with the energy of lightning strikes within.
The foreground features classic Sonoran Desert elements saguaro cacti and scrubland anchoring the dramatic scene in a rugged, natural beauty. The image freezes a fleeting moment of raw weather intensity and serene desert stillness.

Phoenix has long been known as, The Valley of the Sun. Maybe it should be, the Valley of the Sunset? ...If you happen to see some guy walking around on his roof with a camera, it's probably me! - Rooftop View, Phoenix, Arizona

During the monsoons, water levels in the Siem Reap River and Tonle Sap lake rise dramatically and the people of the floating villages migrate from the middle of the lake up the rivers with the rising waters. This fisherman from a floating village on the Siem Reap River was beating his nets to dislodge his catch of tiny fish. A crowd of flying insects can be seen in the sky above the dock, attracted by the fish smell. A peak water levels, the trees behind the dock are completely submerged.

I just had a new roof put on my house. Maybe I wore out the old one by walking around up there all the time taking sunset photos?! - Phoenix, Arizona

Both in rain, and in my own personal lightening photography.
2008's Monsoon season, I got nuthin'. But last night's storm was pretty spectacular, lasting well over an hour. I watched it on my drive home from getting dinner, sure that it was going to be overwith by the time I could get inside and grab my camera. Fortunately, it hung around, continuing like strobes popping off every 30 seconds or so.
Yeah, I was hand-holding, again thinking it wouldn't last long. So I figured I wouldn't have enough time to dig out my tripod and set it up.
I got off a few good frames before the rain chased me inside.
Proof of how lousy this year's monsoon season has been--my last lightning session was exactly one month ago today.
But hey! It's raining right now. At least I think that's rain . . .
The 2013 Monsoon has officially begun -at least the calendar based one, which has little to do with today's actual weather. Sometime during the next 3 weeks or so, the prevailing winds will shift to the south and southeast, allowing tropical moisture to pour into the desert southwest. This moisture along with intense daytime heating creates the proper conditions for large convective thunderstorms to form. The classic 'dry heat' of Arizona will go away and significant humid mugginess will prevail. The monsoon normally lasts until early to mid-September, although officially, the "Monsoon Season" lasts until the 30th. Hopefully, this year's monsoon will bring lots of desperately needed rainfall to at least temporarily reduce the impacts of our ongoing, state-wide, severe to extreme drought.
This photo is from July, 2008. It shows an isolated thunderstorm dumping heavy rain on the parched desert near Florence, AZ.
