A backcountry road in Northern California, at the right time of day for shadows. Pleasant Valley Road; a beautiful drive. www.google.com/maps/place/Pleasant+Valley+Rd,+California/...
This is a place where other photographers might 'set-up': Camera(s) on tripod, slowing-down while watching the subtle changes in light as the sun sets to the west >>> . I guess my wanting to keep exploring, to see new places, gets the best of me, and instead I keep moving!
Follow the Little Dog for adventure. Just because he is tiny, doesn't mean he isn't mighty.
We got our long hike in on Thursday as we are going back into a super deep freeze this weekend.
On our round about adventure we covered 4 miles! Found many places were ice was forming and discovered all sorts of visually amazing places.
:)
Glad we didn't wait!
Exploring the back roads and scenic byways as winter turns to spring in Baker County Oregon.

Kaleidoscopic layer of leaves on an unknown rural Wisconsin lake. There was a good breeze blowing out beyond the point and it shows up as a sudden blur across the lake surface. Wandering somewhere on one of the myriad backroads of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, Iron County section.
Dusk light over Civita di Bagnoregio, situated on top of a hill in the valley of the badlands (Valle dei Calanchi), in Viterbo province, Lazio region, central Italy.
Civita di Bagnoregio was founded by the Etruscans more than 2,500 years ago. It was, for a time, part of the Etruscan's principle route to Rome. Nowadays it is famously known as "the dying city" due to the progressive erosion of the foundation beneath the town.

Aerial view of the Katskhi pillar, a huge natural limestone monolith that rises 131 feet into the air, with a small church on the top, overlooking the river valley of Katskhura, situated at the village of Katskhi in Imereti region, western Georgia.
The church on top of the pillar was built in the 6th to 8th centuries, dedicated to Maximus the Confessor, a famous Christian monk and theologian. It is commonly regarded as one of the most isolated churches in the world. There's also a burial chamber, a wine cellar, three hermit cells and a curtain wall.
Each day, monks living below make the nerve-jangling 20-minute ascent via a thin metal ladder bolted to the side of the rock. The daily pilgrimage to say prayers at the top is said to bring them closer to God.

Only 45 minutes from the main island of Venice, Burano is often mixed up (by tourists) with Murano, famous for its glassware.
The crowd is practically non-existent - no jostling, and its big enough that you won't run into any big tourist groups. I'm guessing this is because it takes a little longer to get here.
The colors are amazing, and there are some pretty good restaurants.
Definitely on the "once in a lifetime" list.

Big Horn Sheep in Burnt River Canyon in Baker County
A beautiful New Year’s Day exploring the Burnt River Canyon and watching wildlife between Durkee and Unity in Baker County Oregon with lots of Bighorn Sheep out to help us ring in the new year.
The Burnt River Canyon near Durkee is always one of our favorite drives for taking in the majestic scenery of Eastern Oregon and watching wildlife along the way. Saw lots of wildlife this trip as colder temperatures have pushed lots of deer down into the canyon. We were excited to spot a few Bighorn Sheep in rut during this trip

The subject of this piece is a rural barn, genuinely abandoned and left to the whims of nature. Briefly, the story goes that the main farmhouse was last lived in dating back to the 1980's. There were several other barns and outbuildings on the property, this small barn was just one of them.
My friend and fellow photographer John Vose had a lead on this place, and was able to secure permission to enter the old farmstead for the purpose of capturing artistic rustic details and portraits of the buildings inside and out. This being one of them.
On my website, this piece is titled "Autumn In Retrospect". I also have a square format version using a slightly different image file composition that is a popular selling print.

Close to the village of Arsha in the Kazbegi region lies the Arsha Waterfall, about five kilometers from Stepantsminda Kazbegi. The hike to the waterfall is considered easy and typically takes three to four hours. The trail is unpaved but well-trodden, surrounded by lush meadows, and offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains. The waterfall is one of the lesser-known natural attractions in the area, contributing to its untouched and serene atmosphere. A bit further along is the Toti Waterfall, accessible via a steep trail that passes above the Arsha Waterfall. This waterfall offers spectacular panoramic views and is an ideal spot for a picnic. Visitors can enjoy the tranquility, the breathtaking nature, and even take a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear water. For adventure seekers, it's possible to continue the hike to the nearby Gergeti Glacier, making the journey a full-day excursion.
The journey to the waterfall close to the village of Arsha in the Kazbegi region is a true challenge, yet also a breathtaking experience. The trail winds through rugged, arid terrain with steep inclines and loose rocks. Hikers must be well-prepared, as certain sections can be demanding and exhausting. The Toti Waterfall is less known and therefore quieter, adding to its pristine and serene atmosphere. The Toti Waterfall cascades down a steep rock face, surrounded by rugged cliffs and alpine vegetation. The crystal-clear water and stunning surroundings make it an ideal spot for nature lovers and hikers seeking adventure. The waterfall is accessible via a steep trail that runs above the Arsha Waterfall, offering spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and valleys along the way.
Nabij het dorp Arsha in de Kazbegi-regio ligt de Arsha-waterval, op ongeveer vijf kilometer van Stepantsminda Kazbegi. De wandeling naar de waterval wordt als eenvoudig beschouwd en duurt doorgaans drie tot vier uur. Het pad is ongebaand maar goed begaanbaar, omringd door weelderige weiden en biedt prachtige uitzichten op de omliggende bergen. Toch blijft de tocht een ware uitdaging, maar tegelijkertijd een prachtige ervaring. Het landschap verandert geleidelijk van glooiende weiden naar ruigere, drogere grond met steile hellingen en losse stenen. Wandelaars moeten goed voorbereid zijn, want sommige delen van de route kunnen veeleisend en vermoeiend zijn. Maar eenmaal aangekomen, wacht de beloning: een verkoelende bries van de waterval en een adembenemend uitzicht. Op de foto is te zien hoe Kanitha, na een avontuurlijke klim, aankomt bij de Arsha-waterval, gelegen in het ruige, bergachtige landschap van Kazbegi. De waterval op de voorgrond vormt een sterk contrast met het dorre terrein, wat bijdraagt aan de ongerepte en serene sfeer. De steile hellingen en ongerepte wildernis onderstrepen zowel de uitdaging als de ongekende schoonheid van deze afgelegen plek. Nog iets verder ligt de Toti-waterval, bereikbaar via een steil pad dat bovenlangs de Arsha-waterval loopt. De Toti-waterval stort zich vanaf een steile rotswand naar beneden, omringd door ruige kliffen en alpiene vegetatie. Het kristalheldere water en de indrukwekkende omgeving maken het een ideale plek voor natuurliefhebbers en wandelaars die op zoek zijn naar avontuur. De waterval biedt spectaculaire panoramische uitzichten en is een ideale plek voor een picknick. Bezoekers kunnen hier genieten van de rust, de natuur en zelfs een verfrissende douche nemen in het heldere water. Voor de echte avonturiers is het mogelijk om verder te trekken naar de nabijgelegen Gergeti-gletsjer, wat de wandeling tot een dagvullende activiteit maakt.

Percorrendo o Trilho "Moinhos de Santa Isabel", perto de Rebordochão, em Terras de Bouro, os caminhantes são brindados com vistas deslumbrantes sobre a paisagem montanhosa do Parque Nacional da Peneda-Gerês. O percurso revela uma natureza selvagem onde urzes e giestas predominam, pontuada por afloramentos rochosos e árvores solitárias. Este trilho oferece não só contacto direto com a tranquilidade do ambiente natural, mas também vestígios do passado rural, como os antigos moinhos que dão nome ao caminho.
