I was so fascinated with this rock pile on Tioga Pass (East of Yosemite NP) in the Eastern Sierra, I went back and photographed it some more the next day. Took the tripod this time.
I've long considered the Eastern Sierra my extended playground.
From Wikipedia: The Sierra Nevada is a mountain range in the Western United States, between the Central Valley of California and the Great Basin. The vast majority of the range lies in the state of California, although the Carson Range spur lies primarily in Nevada. The Sierra Nevada is part of the American Cordillera, an almost continuous chain of mountain ranges that forms the western "backbone" of the Americas.

Harper's Pass is located on the Te Aurora near Arthur's Pass. Before Arthur's Pass was built in the old days, Harper's Pass was one of the easier routes from New Zealand's eastern region to the treacherous west. The east and west are divided by mountains, and in these mountains even in summer the weather changes at the drop of a dime. There is a cabin not far from here, but we decided to stay near the pass this night as the area was beautiful and serene.
I spent a good portion of this night doing astro photography, and trying to capture the glow worms on the cliffs beside this river. This is much harder than you can imagine as the glow worms are in thick brush, and unlike a cave, there are many things that block and cloud your view. The stars were brilliant here as there is no noise pollution, or even airplanes to disturb you. It's one of those places in the world where you can still feel surrounded by nature without the feeling of seeing much if any human influences.
The Eurasian tree sparrow (Passer montanus) is a passerine bird in the sparrow family with a rich chestnut crown and nape, and a black patch on each pure white cheek. The sexes are similarly plumaged, and young birds are a duller version of the adult. This sparrow breeds over most of temperate Eurasia and Southeast Asia, where it is known as the tree sparrow, and it has been introduced elsewhere including the United States, where it is known as the Eurasian tree sparrow or German sparrow to differentiate it from the native unrelated American tree sparrow. Although several subspecies are recognised, the appearance of this bird varies little across its extensive range.
Beautiful Ebbetts pass during the morning hours. The light from the rising sun was just about to crest over the valley. Luckily the tamarack fire did not touch this area.
Needle Pass is best viewed directly on the natural bridge. I started my climb just before daylight began to break...and I was lucky enough to catch this wonderful fog.
This tanker, the "Signal Alpha", is gliding through Aransas Pass, a channel connecting Corpus Christi Bay and the Gulf of Mexico at the city of Port Aransas, Texas. It has just left the port of Corpus Christi, carrying a load of crude oil to the Port of Fawly, U.K.

I did a selective colour edit on this photo from Winnats Pass. Not everyone's cup of tea but I quite like them.
This morning, we took off out of Silverton and went up to Ophir Pass. The trail was pretty smooth, and I used two-wheel drive most of the way up to the pass. On the way down, we had to use low gear because it was steep and very rough going. The views in both directions were pretty spectacular. We had a moody sky and a little bit of rain, but that made for a more dramatic sky. The only bad part on the trip was the last leg of the trail was closed to the lakes we were going to fish at. Oh well, maybe next time.

In January, I went on our annual tramp in New Zealand's South Island. This year it was to Mt Owen in Kahurangi National Park. This photo was taken early on the second day just above Granity Pass Hut, on our way to Mt Owen. The ridge I am standing on is known as Railway Embankment, left over from a glacier.

Sadly I had to forgo my plan to visit covered bridges and waterfalls in southern Oregon so we could make an effort to cross 4700 foot high Siskiyou Pass between storms. It had been snowing in the morning with chains required but by the time we got there the sun was shining. We hit some flakes and fog on the other side but nothing serious.
Used a Topaz Impressions filter for processing.
One from what seems like an age ago up on Winnats Pass at Dawn. My favourite place to be in the Peaks.
I bagged a beauty minutes earlier, of some light rays beaming into the mouth of the Pass. I packed up happy and started back to the car, then I was struck by the way the foreground framed the tree beautifully and got my gear back out.
A beautiful morning of solitude to reset the old noggin.
Happy days.
Yesterday we spent the day enjoying Owl Creek Pass near Ridgway, CO. I was blessed with many awe inspiring scenes. Would you believe I accidentally deleted the entire disk?!!!!!!!!!!! I was sick. I had transferred this one shot to my computer and that was it. How do we do such stupid things! (well, you probably don't! Smile)

Cottonwood Pass (elevation 12,119 feet (3,694 m)) is a high mountain pass on the Continental Divide in south-central Colorado in the Rocky Mountains of the western United States. It is located along the border of Gunnison and Chaffee counties in Colorado and is in the Sawatch Range. The road over Cottonwood Pass is the highest paved crossing of the Continental Divide in the U.S., and the second highest pass with an improved highway in the state- Wikipedia

An epic trip - 6-hours, 30-miles from Ouray to Lake City, Colorado - with rough rocky patches, switchbacks, shelf roads, and sweeping vistas all the way, reaching almost 13,000 feet at the summit. A Jeep Badge of Honor trail for good reason.
From TrailsOffroad.com: In the late 1800’s, miners started digging for gold, silver, lead and other ore in the San Juan Mountains. They needed a way to get people and the ore out to the nearby towns. Those roads left by the long-abandoned mines are now some of the most famous off-road trails in the books. Engineer Pass, a 30-mile trail, is one of them and is part of a trail now known as the Alpine Loop.
There are multiple mine ruins to view and explore the grounds of along the way including the Hard Tack Mine and the Michael Breen Mine.
Mile after mile provides new and more amazing views of Colorado and the San Juan mountains. Oh Point and the official summit have breath-taking panoramas of the mountains.
This trail goes well above the timberline at just over 12,900’. With the altitude comes stunning views of the mountains to the north including the Uncompahgre, Coxcomb, Wetterhorn and Wildhorse mountain peaks. The view is so expansive at Oh Point that on a very clear day, you might be able to see all the way to Utah if you turn your eyes to the west.

Whilst looking for a composition between lockdowns and tiers, I particularly liked the yellow framing at the bottom of this image, the lush green grass of Winnats Pass and the white sheep clinging on to the fairly steep incline, with a hazy view of the Hope Valley beyond.
