A great day for photo taking on Steptoe. Nice dappled light moving over the Palouse hills throughout the day as small storms passed through. Interesting that most of the rain went around Steptoe Butte. I was there 6 hrs and only felt a few drops until the sun set when it rained hard.
Thought I share a shot from my brief visit to the Yorkshire Dales. Always wanted to grab a shot of a Viaduct and seen a couple locally to were I live but no way as beautiful as this !
Hope you like :).

“Sometimes it’s easy just to get… stuck. Stuck with what’s comfortable, stuck in what we know, what we think makes us happy.”
I heard this quote in an intro to a song recently and it struck a cord with me personally.
While 2014 is coming to end, I look back on all of the memories and places I traveled to. In 2015, I already have at least one west coast trip planned and several other trips that I'm still trying to iron out plans for.
With that said, I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe New Year!

It was very cute watching her flit from bud to bud to drink nectar out of the plant.
UPDATE: Wow! This photo made it to the Flickr "Explore" page for August 1, 2019 (No. 447 out of 500). Hello to all my new visitors and welcome!
Some days ago I took a closer look at Nik´s Analog Efex Pro, this is one of the results :)
Shot on my way home from work.
A day out to Wightwick Manor - (National Trust) - in Wolverhampton.
Please excuse the terrible quality of the interior images ... the Manor House is very dark inside and I had to push my ISO up to 6400 resulting in very noisy images ! :-(
When Theodore Mander commissioned the building of a new manor on Wightwick Bank in the Old English style in 1887 he started the Mander family's love for Victorian art & design which would unfold over a century of collecting and preservation.
My thanks as always to Jeff D. for the lift and opportunity to get some images today.

This shot has been taken during one of my sunrise sessions in Rosolina Mare (see my What a meaningful world... for information about that peculiar location).
In its conception this is a humble shot, just the first of a series of exposure bracketings to be stitched and blended into a panorama. Not enough spare time even to think of such an endeavour now - but I have realized that this shot could have a life of its own, so I have processed it and... here it is.
I was fascinated by the rampant, mighty, glowing cloud on the left - something like a rampart against the shadows of the night - and this "detail" of that sunrise puts it in the limelight. Hope that you will enjoy this view, my friends!
I have obtained this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-1.7/0/+1.7 EV] by luminosity masks in the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal exposure" shot), then I added some final touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4.
On rare occasions, the wind embeds a leaf between the two poles on my bird feeder; it happened one time last year, as well. This is not staged but a quirk of nature which I happily take advantage of so expect more pics of this subject.
Awesome colors from the red maple in my backyard.
