Монблан с южного фасада
Вид на гряду Монблан из итальянского поселка La Palud, расположенного у подножья Монблана, рядом с французской границей. La Palud - стартовая точка к подъему к восьмому чуду света, предоставляет захватывающие виды и прямой контакт с одним из самых легендарных пиков планеты.

Most people will tell you that unicorns don’t exist. But, as is so often the case, once you sink beneath the surface of the ocean, what you know on land no longer applies. The existing unicorn draws its name from the long protrusion on its forehead that it shares with the mythical horse-like beast. However, the similarities end at this “horn”.

Grand merci pour votre visite, vos commentaires et vos favoris. Je les apprécie sincèrement.
Many thanks for your visit, your comments and favorites I appreciate them deeply!
La Monument Valley, mito degli Stati Uniti occidentali, è un pianoro desertico di origine fluviale al confine tra Utah e Arizona in un'area isolata che dista più di 70 km da Kayenta, la cittadina più vicina. La strada che conduce alla Monument Valley è l' altrettanto famosa: Highway 163.che, nella parte terminale, segue un percorso rettilineo in leggera discesa che dà al viaggiatore l'impressione di calarsi all'interno della valle. Il territorio è prevalentemente pianeggiante ad eccezione del fatto che la pianura è cosparsa da una sorta di guglie dette butte o mesas. Questi edifici naturali formati da roccia e sabbia hanno la forma di torri dal colore rossastro (causato dall'ossido di ferro).
La zona fa parte della Navajo Nation Reservation ed è un Tribal Park con ingresso a pagamento. Gli indiani gestiscono tutte le attività all'interno della valle compreso il discusso e costoso View hotel inaugurato nel 2009 costruito sul posto dell'essenziale campeggio che esisteva da 40 anni.

Big Sur is a rugged and mountainous section of the Central Coast of California between Carmel Highlands and San Simeon, where the Santa Lucia Mountains rise abruptly from the Pacific Ocean. It is frequently praised for its dramatic scenery. Big Sur has been called the "longest and most scenic stretch of undeveloped coastline in the contiguous United States," a sublime "national treasure that demands extraordinary procedures to protect it from development" and "one of the most beautiful coastlines anywhere in the world, an isolated stretch of road, mythic in reputation." The stunning views, redwood forests, hiking, beaches, and other recreational opportunities have made Big Sur a popular destination for about 7 million people who live within a day's drive and visitors from across the world. It is among the top 35 tourist destinations world-wide. The region receives about the same number of visitors as Yosemite National Park, but offers only limited bus service, few restrooms, and a narrow two-lane highway along the coast. North-bound traffic during the peak summer season and holiday weekends is often backed up for about 20 miles (32 km) from Big Sur Village to Carmel.
Are there any mythical beasts which aren't simple pastiches of nature? Centaurs, minotaurs, unicorns, griffons, chimeras, sphinxes, manticores, and the like don't speak well for the human imagination. None is as novel as a kangaroo or starfish.

The weather stated thunderstorms, solid cloud cover, and just awful weather to dominate the landscape for the next few days. Yesterday, while I was getting comfortable sitting around the house irritated that I wasn't going to get out the storm system broke, and while my first thought was it would be just for a few minutes, the weather amended itself and said it would be partly cloudy with a chance of storms. So, I left the house at 4pm and headed out into the mountains. At first I thought I would be lucky to get anything, but the longer I drove the more the sky broke for me. Though that wasn't the only issue at hand, in the peaks act like a cloud forest, so I was driving in and out of a dense wall of clouds through the various peaks and valleys until I broke through at last. I hadn't intended to drive from the end of the parkway to Craggy, but as a photographer, it's my job to chase the light. This valley stretched off into the distance, different mountains, and a road in the very rear of the image. I sat up there in high winds, high humidity getting soaked to the bone. Other photographers came and went, but I stayed, waiting for my perfect light... this is the best of the shots I got, I hope you enjoy.
ISO: 160
Aperture: f11
SS: 1/30
Focal: 22mm
No filters, sitting atop a wall in the one place my view wasn't obstructed by the trees bellow, and I decided to do a 5 shot exposure bracket here to try and get the best of the dynamic range.
My favorite shots can be purchased here:

shot quickly...not the best quality, but it was a fun shot!
for those that ask: Is that real? or is it edited? ... this was taken while driving (i wasn't driving) and is a real cloud formation that appeared. It has only been cropped and some levels were changed to create more contrast...that's it.
nature did the rest! :)

Don't be afraid to be weak
Don't be too proud to be strong
Just look into your heart my friend
That will be the return to yourself
The return to innocence
The return to innocence
If you want, then start to laugh
If you must, then start to cry
Be yourself don't hide
Just believe in destiny
Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence
That's not the beginning of the end
That's the return to yourself
The return to innocence

Beautiful swans swimming in the Vltava River at sunset with view of the Prague city and the Charles Bridge.
Prague’s swans are photographed almost as much as some of the monuments, statues, cathedrals and buildings throughout the city.
This was shot at a slower speed (6 seconds).

Song: Return To Innocence
One of the grandest – and most photographed – landmarks in the United States, Monument Valley is a sprawling, sandy preserve that spans the border between Arizona and Utah, bathing the region in rich red hues. Dominated by crimson mesas and surreal sandstone towers – some as tall as 1,000 feet – the area is also known for dramatic, mesmerizing lighting, with the sun illuminating the towers and casting long shadows on the valley floor.
Located inside the Navajo Nation – one of the largest Native American tribes in the United States – Monument Valley is around four hours northeast of Flagstaff, near the Four Corners area.
Monument Valley provides perhaps the most enduring and definitive images of the American West. The isolated red mesas and buttes surrounded by empty, sandy desert have been filmed and photographed countless times over the years for movies, adverts and holiday brochures. Because of this, the area may seem quite familiar, even on a first visit, but it is soon evident that the natural colors really are as bright and deep as those in all the pictures. The valley is not a valley in the conventional sense, but rather a wide flat, sometimes desolate landscape, interrupted by the crumbling formations rising hundreds of feet into the air, the last remnants of the sandstone layers that once covered the entire region.
Thank you for your comments.

Monument Valley Tribal Park - INCA Bridges -
Crater lake is sort of a mythical place. It's like Yosemite in a way because as you come to the rim for the first time you realize something powerful once happened here. This place has natural history which includes sheer volcanic force and power. Wizard island, a volcanic cinder cone adorns the caldera as a cute reminder of this force. Mount Mazama a large stratovolcano erupted violently circa 7,700 years ago forming this beautiful place.
The winters here are cold, and there was still snow here in July which I found to be fairly incredible. I never really thought of the place as a winter mountain, but then it is fairly high up in the cascade mountains. This was shot in the dead of night, just before twilights approach, and was a complex shot.
It's a two shot blend both taken on the d810 at 15mm. The first shot was focus stacked on the foreground and was shot at ISO2450, f3.2 for 460 seconds, while the second was focused on infinity at ISO6400, f2.8 for 20 seconds. The two shots were then blended together in Photoshop to include the sky from the shorter exposure, and the foreground from the longer exposure. I was shooting nearly blind here, composing was very difficult and required shining a bright light on the foreground for both focusing and framing. The lack of moonlight makes the stars quite bright, but takes away foreground detail and obviously complicates shooting.
