"Double Arch takes its name because it consists of two arches that share the same stone as a foundation for both of their outer legs. Double Arch was formed by downward water erosion from atop the sandstone, rather than from side-to-side water erosion."

Mountain views as scenic as this are rare. I think some how the portrait orientation and framing works well in this photo by Cagatay Orhan.
From this view the depth of the image is emphasised however, some part of me wants to see another vertical photo to the right of the picture. Heck why not take one on the left of this frame too and stictch all 3 frames together, that'd be swell!
This one was remixed by attempting to cut some of the original haze in the image, tweaked some of the local adjustments and completed a colour enhancement. Its facinating that from a distance mountains have this bluish tinge to them, even though when you're standing on them you don't see this blue.
Photo to download and use as always :)
Thanks for following and for your support!
Another small section of Idaho's Sawtooths reflected in Little Redfish Lake.
Shoulda put on a wider lens...
Barely got all this beauty in.
Heading out soon for my last major photo safari of the year. Hope to fill up lots of memory cards. Easy to do in beautiful Canada.
Have a wonderful couple of weeks. I know I will.
Thanks for taking a look!
Marsh along Turnagain Arm near Placer river outlet. That's on the way from Anchorage to Seward. A beautiful road through and through!
East of the Desert View Watchtower in Grand Canyon NP sits what appears to be a lone mesa, darker than its surroundings due to vegetation. My research indicates that it's an extinct cinder cone called Cedar Mountain.
On this early April day, the low cloud cover made the mountain appear even darker and highlighted the contrast between the vegetation above the canyon rim, and the nearly barren rock walls. There is an off-road trail, and the ability to hike to the top of Cedar Mountain. It's roughly 2000' of elevation gain and a nice hike with very few other tourists taking the time to visit this location.
I think I will check it out more thoroughly on my next trip to the Grand Canyon.

The Andes run in three ridges down through Peru. This town lay in the valley after the first pass from the coast. The difference in climate and vegetation within just a few hours, passing from desert to lush green, was amazing...

A view of Mount Rainier taken from Seward Park in Seattle.
The base of Mt. Rainier is so distant that the blue haze of the atmosphere makes it look as if that is part of the sky itself, giving the appearance that Mt. Rainier is floating in mid-air.
Geographers talk about "ultra-prominent" mountain peaks: those peaks that rise significantly above the land that surrounds them. Mt. Rainier is the third most prominent peak in the US, surpassed only by Denali (formerly known as Mt. McKinley) in Alaska and Mauna Kea in Hawaii. This photo illustrates this phenomenon perfectly.

This image is a composite of three vertical (portrait mode) images and the original is of fairly high resolution. In fact, in the original image, you can see two bald eagles soaring near the water tower on the left. In this version, they just appear as tiny black specks.
A section of the Absaroka range NE of Dunraven Pass. Yellowstone is well known and loved for it's geysers, canyon, waterfalls, thermal wonders, lakes and wildlife. It contains many stunning mountain vistas as well.
There are at least 70 named mountain peaks over 8,000 feet (2,400 m) in Yellowstone in four mountain ranges: Gallatin, Red, Washburn and Absaroka. 46 of the 70 over 12,000 feet are in the Absaroka range. The Absaroka range forms most of the eastern border of Yellowstone Park.

I drove out to Buller Pond last night... This was the fifth day in a row I drove out there so I hope no one is sick of the place yet :P haha.
For all the time I spend out that way, this was the first time I have gone there at night. It was so still and quiet out there. It was a great way to spend the night.
