Another shot from a magical early morning on the shores of Derwent Water in the Lake District of Cumbria.
These rocks are usually well submerged and certainly are now with the recent rains raising the levels substantially in the last 2 weeks.
This is the view looking South towards Borrowdale. Derwent Island is on the left of the frame and the Cat Bells Ridge to the centre with the dying ferns caught in the early light. Causey Pike is just peeking out in the upper right of the frame.
Being rocks, they were stubborn and hard
It wasn’t their style to drop their guard
They stood there for years along
With a sense that something was wrong
No words were ever said,
Not even a gesture made
They had to ‘bridge’ this communication gap
But how? no one could wear a thinking cap
Finally,
One of them was somewhat brave.
He looked up and agreed to ‘wave'

An early morning walk along the breakwall at Nambucca Heads, with natural light falling across the painted rocks.

Stretching from Hannafore Point to the outskirts of Looe sits Hannafore Beach, a quiet, south east facing beach. It is predominantly a shingle beach that reveals some coarse sand and an extensive reef with rock pools at low tide. Most people visit the beach for these fantastic rock pools that are uncovered twice daily, but it also a great suntrap due to its positioning.
Hannafore is less busy, partly due to its location (across the river) and partly because of, unlike neighbouring beaches, its lack of golden sand. It is one of few dog-friendly beaches around Looe, making it popular with dog walkers.
Salty bushes and tufa after sunset.
Mono Lake is known for its tufa calcium carbonate rock formations that form underwater where springs bring calcium-rich water to the alkaline lake. In the fall the winds are less at Mono Lake, so sunsets tend to get calm. The alkaline waters of the lake are nearly 3X saltier then the ocean.
Captured while leading a seminar for the Mono Lake Committee in November 2019. Lori Hibbett and I will be leading another Mono Lake Moon Rise and Winter Light workshop at Mono Lake December 17-19, 2022.
Ancient granite - anorthosite -made ancient mountains a billion years ago. Long worn down, their roots were thrust up again, commencing 60 million years ago, to form the still-rising Adirondack Mountains. These mountains and boulders have been sculpted by the glaciers of the past 100,000 years. These forests, mountains, wetlands and lakes are now preserved in the 600 million-acre Adirondack Park of the State of New York. This view is from a trail's end near Newcomb, NY, at nearly the peak of this fall's color.
The Kjenndalen valley and the Kjenndalen Glacier lie at the end of Lodal valley, 17 km from Loen and a 15 minute walk from the Jostedal Glacier's lowest glacier arm. At the end of Lovatn Lake you´ll find Kjenndalsstova, a cafe which is open from May to September. Between 1980 and 1997 the glaciers grew by over 300 metres, but in the last few years the glacier arms have actually been retreating.
