Capitol Reef National Park is one of the lessor visited parks in Utah but in my opinion still very scenic.
When we stopped at the visitor center, I saw this cool picture of this old barn up on one of the walls. I thought it made a great composition so I had to capture it.
Luckily it's only a mile or 2 down from the visitor center at the Gifford Homestead.
Per the National Park service website... The original home was built in 1908 by polygamist Calvin Pendleton. He and his family occupied it for eight years. The original house had a combined front room/kitchen and two small bedrooms. An outside ladder accessed two upstairs bedrooms. Pendleton also constructed the barn and smokehouse, as well as the rock walls near the house and on the mesa slopes above it.
Wishing all my Flickr friends a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Godrevy Lighthouse was built in 1858–1859 on Godrevy Island in St Ives Bay, Cornwall. Standing approximately 300 metres (980 ft) off Godrevy Head, it marks the Stones reef, which has been a hazard to shipping for centuries. (Wikipedia)
Capitol Reef national park, Utah. Barriers to western migration were once called "reefs.". Geologists call this kind of barrier a dissected monocline.
Cape Verde is not really for people who like to portray birds. It is for hiking. But in Ponta do Sol I did see some birds near the sea like the Turnstone, the Whimbrel and this bird the Western Reef Heron. A bird I hadn't seen before who was fishing near the rough ocean, running around to catch fish, not really bothered by my presence.
So i spent several hours and several days at this place which is situated near the harbor. That was another interesting place for observing. The fishing boats came in every morning, and a great part of the male population was buying fish here, and cleaning it on the lava beds in the ocean. The Turnstones (and the cats!) were present to eat the leftovers.
Heading behind the rock wall in late afternoon light. Amazing watching these courting birds. Frenetic behaviour.
I was very careful stepping on some rocks to get to this pristine section of the desert. The soil there is alive, and takes many years to get to this state ... so not stepping on it is quite important. I really liked this pristine view of the earth there leading into the wall of the Reef there in Utah.
This view was via one of the back dirt roads there in the park.
It was quite amazing walking into the Grand Wash there in Capitol Reef ... the 14mm prime lens really worked well there in too to capture the feel of the space ...
The patterns and weathering of the rocks was extremely interesting, and changed with each passing turn of the canyon.
Captured here at f/8.
Going back through my shots at Ningaloo and this one spoke to me more of an abstract aerial.
A great but expensive scenic flight from Exmouth down the east coast and back up the west coast along Ningaloo Reef.
Ningaloo is a 260km long fringing reef which is accessible from the shore ie different from a barrier reef. It is Australia's largest fringing reef, a world heritage site and the only large reef positioned very close to a landmass.

340) Pacific Reef Egret
Pacific Reef Egret, Egretta sacra, Bangau Batu
This species can be found in many areas of Asia including the oceanic region of India, Southeast Asia, East Asia, Polynesia, and in Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand. The species displays an unusual, non-sexual dimorphism, with some members having entirely white plumage and others (the larger portion) being charcoal-grey. The reason for the colour variation or "morph", is unknown, though it is most commonly thought to be related to camouflage. Their food sources are made up predominantly of varieties of ocean-based fish, crustaceans and molluscs.
