I Tasted the Sweet Nectar of Sunlight on a Morning Day
The wind sang a symphony through the leaves of a forest nearby
The mountains stood to give an ovation for those attending
And the birds gave their flight formation in the skies above.
Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one morning looking from an overlook into Chugach State Park. That morning was definitely the start to a day I love. Well, other than the few hours sleep after landing in Anchorage, but to be in the mountains again with a forest of green and yellow all around was a true delight! This was on a hike along Thunderbird Falls Trail in Chugach State Park not far driving out of Anchorage. This was a point along the trail with a small wooden outcropping to take in a view…and what a view it was! Morning sunlight with distant peaks of mountains! So that’s the story of this image and my poetry to describe the experience.
In capturing this image, I just had to find that opening through some nearby trees and set up my tripod and Nikon SLR camera to compose an image with the nearby ridgeline cutting across and the distant peaks of Western Chugach Mountains (a compass azimuth and peakbagger web site show them to be Gold Star Peak, East Twin Peak, Pepper Peak, Mount POW/MIA, Goat Rock, West Twin Peak). Metering took a little more involvement. Yes, I had a new camera remote Arsenal device, but the more detailed part of me wanted to use more control over exposure to get that right shutter speed with the aperture selected. I just had to find that “mean value” and adjust from there. I later worked with control points and color control points in Capture NX2 to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted. I then added a Foliage and Polarization CEP filter to give that little bit extra for the final image.

This is the new shopping centre in Las Vegas. The building on the right is a Prada store. I took a similar shot in a different orientation which I will put in the comments.
Joyce Waterman points.... "There he is!" The little feathered celebrity is on the ground picking out tasty treats to eat then quietly perches on a headstone or flies to a young scrawny sycamore tree.
The freshly mowed grass is a far cry from his sagebrush steppe habitat.
"The fresh fall plumage of a Sage Thrasher looks much brighter and “sexier” to us than the worn and faded plumage of a breeding summer bird. But for many birds, having feathers in good condition may be more important for migration and surviving the winter than showing off in spring...maybe that’s why thrashers have such great songs?"

These are the two highest points of elevation in the Rocky Mountain Range of North America. Mt Elbert (left) at 14,440" and Mt Massive (right) at 14,433'.
These two mountains are not the tallest from their base, not even close. Many people do not realize how high in elevation Colorado is in general. The lowest point in the state is still 3315' above sea level located east along the Colorado-Kansas State line.
The mountain ranges of Colorado all rise from a high elevation base.
Five Points Fountain is the centerpiece of a small landscaped area in this somewhat funky village section of Columbia. The fountain area is used as a gathering spot by locals for events such as a seasonal concert series and a large St. Patrick's Day celebration. Five Points is known for dining, shopping, and an active night life fueled by students from the nearby University of South Carolina.
Crampons are overkill for Abraham Lake, but they do offer the best traction transitioning from lakeshore to the lake over sloped ice.
Concept started with a low boot shot (thanks Song!). Extending the idea, I thought a GoPro under the crampon points would offer a different perspective. Turns out the GoPro is too tall for the clearance, so I placed my regular camera on the ice and this is the result.

Early morning light touched the tops of snow-laden trees on a 5F day in January. A strong chinook wind brought higher tempertures later in the afternoon raising the temps about 35 F. Boulder, Colorado
“The reason mankind was brought into being by God was so that they might apprehend with their senses the sky, the earth, and everything they contain, as visible objects, and by means of them go beyond them with their minds to invisible beauties, that they might sing the praises of God, the one Creator of all.”
-Palamas, Mary the Mother of God, 421.

Yup all ten of the charging points are vacant yet again - the cars you see are in private reserved bays . In the car park there were many empty spaces including the 30 minute free bays - this is peculiar though as it is a Saturday morning and the village main car park is totally closed for maintenance , although I stuck my head into the dry cleaners that I used to manage and the chap there now said it was quite a busy day - go figure . ( I have to add that the industry has changed a lot and busy now is not busy as I remembered it back in the day ) .

Sea outside Aveiro has a deserved reputation of being rough, and dangerous. Sportsboat speeds to port as sunset approaches.
