Looking westward toward the Appalachian Mountains from rural Augusta County, Virginia. Sugaraloaf Mountain is the near peak.
Taken with my trusty iPhone SE in Landscape mode
This was the first photo I took when I traveled to Sedona last fall. I picked this location by chance, hunted a competition in the dark, and had no idea if it would work or not until the sun started hitting the mountain. I'll take that kind of luck any day of the week! What a cool place!
Shot on a Canon 5D IV with a 24-70 f/2.8L II, and a LEE landscape polarizer. Processed from 3 images focus stacked (for sharpness throughout) in Camera Raw and Photoshop.
This huge rock in the South West of WA makes for some wonderful photographic opportunities. There wasn't much in the way of an active sky when I was there but the rough seas made up for it :-)
Experimenting with black and white in Lightroom Classic on an old image of Sugarloaf Lake in Sebastian County, Arkansas.
In rural Augusta County, Virginia. The Blue Ridge mountains, some 30 miles (50 km) past Sugarloaf Mountain, look like a low cloud bank in the distance.
Located in southeastern Brazil, Sugarloaf Mountain is a landmark peak overlooking Rio de Janeiro at the entrance to Guanabara Bay. Named for its resemblance to the traditional shape of concentrated refined loaf sugar, the conical granite mountain is 395 meters (1,296 feet) in height. I captured several shots from the cable car that ascends the peak, but my favorite pic is this one taken from a boat in the bay below the mountain.
View of the Big Sugarloaf Mountain from the Little Sugarloaf....name of English origin namely because it looks like a pile of sugar because of the white rocks on top or when it snows...

This is another shot taken at Hallett Cove Conservation Park. This rock formation has been nicknamed "Sugarloaf" because it look like one. SA flickr photographer Dylan has done a really superb job in capturing this shot. Too bad I took this shot in the afternoon because I could not make it in the evening.
About this shot:
- canon 5d mkii
- EF 16-35, 16mm, f/11, iso 100
- CPL
Post processing workflow:
- 3 exp tonemapped in photomatix
- curve and level adjustments
- brightened up underexposed areas
- noise removal using Noiseware plugin
- unsharp mask

Snow covered Sugarloaf Mountain and the Taylor Range viewed from Lake Heron. Multiple 30sec exposures stacked together. There was some wind causing the lake to ripple and make some of the star reflections seem so broad.
Hallett Cove is one of Australia's most outstanding geological and archaeological sites, recording an Australian ice age some 280 million years ago and providing a treasure chest of more than 1,700 Aboriginal artefacts.
Magnificently developed glacial pavements along the northern cliff tops are recognised as the best record of Permian glaciation in Australia and being of worldwide significance.
The Sugarloaf, named for its resemblance to a mass of hard refined sugar, is the best known feature in the Hallett Cove Conservation Park.
Its shape is due to erosion by rain and wind over the last few thousand years. However, the layers tell a much longer story:
Around 280 million years ago southern Australia (inlcuding Hallett Cove) was covered by an ice cap. It melted about 270 million years ago. The distinct red and white layers of sediment were deposited on the bottom of an ancient glacial meltwater lake.
The 'red beds' are sand and clay that contain dropstones. The regular layering indicates that the clay was deposited in calm water.
White sand forms the main portion of the Sugarloaf. At the base of the Sugarloaf is a layer of clay and boulders that fell from ice floating across the lake. The Sugarloaf is capped by a thin 'young' layer of brown alluvial clay which was deposited by a river between one to two million years ago.
A unique perspective of Sugarloaf Mountain in the Eastern Hudson Highlands captured from North Point on Crow's Nest Mountain.
With the skies dominated by cloud, the sun broke through and lit the Eastern Highlands only for a brief moment. Compressing the scene with a long lens emphasized the dramatic scale of the Highlands in relation to the northern surroundings.

Fantastic location in the SW Western Australia for photography with so many comps to choose from.
Lucky to score some nice light on this occasion.
Thanks for visiting my photostream
First time I took this photo due to the cloudscape I was unable to frame Christ The Redeemer statue. Now I got it.
Sugarloaf Point Lighthouse stands on a dramatic headland east of Seal Rocks village. Completed in 1875, it is the first lighthouse designed by colonial architect James Barnet and one of only two towers in Australia with an external stairway. It was originally built to guide ships along the rocky coastline, after a number of incidents, including the shipwrecking of the SS Catterthun and the Rainbow. Despite the coast being illuminated by the lighthouse, 20 wrecks have occurred since the lighthouse was built.
Recently I went to have a look at Sugarloaf rock in Western Australia for the first time. This really is a huge seastack covered in steep cliffs and jagged rocks. With no great colour imminent for sunset I tried to bring out a nice complementary sky for sunset using long exposure. This one is before sunset at 45mm, iso 100, f14 and 95 seconds using 10 stop B&W nd filter and 3 stop soft grad.
A different angle in monochrome. This image was not working in colour and a switch to monochrome made it a completely different photo.
I created this triptych of a viewpoint from the clifftop in Eastbourne where there is a prominent rock formation known as the Sugarloaf (see the third image)
The sky was amazing, giving a wonderful light to the scene showing the top of the cliff and the pathway leading down to the beach (at low tide)
Its been a while since I put anything online here so thought I'd put something up.
This is Sugarloaf Rock in Cape Naturaliste, Western Australia from a few weeks ago. The swell was pretty huge here during a winter storm. The waves breaking over the huge rock were over 50 feet high!
[View Large to see the wild mustard.] Springtime on Mt. Diablo after a rain. Wild Mustard and at least three species of oak on "my" mountain. Quite a difference between the hot, dry months of summer and springtime. Perhaps as much as 70% of all the images of birds, insects, and reptiles on my Flickr pages were taken on Mt. Diablo.
I have been caught in thunderstorms, hail storms, and just plain downpours while hiking the hills. It can be beautiful at those times, but in the winter at 30 degrees F, getting soaked is not a good idea. Well, it was never in the plan when I woke up, but when hiking Diablo, I usually didn't have a plan.
By the way, to have any clouds is almost unusual in this part of California. Either that, or I wasn't paying attention before the drought when I had very few opportunities to capture clouds like this. This image is really one of a kind: bright blue skies behind billowy clouds with wild mustard fields and the lush green that one only sees after a rain. In 20 years of hiking the hills, this was a scene that ... I actually stopped walking and sat for a half hour to take in.
To see even more dramatic images of this part of northern California (actually, northwest central!), see John Fox's Flickr site (www.flickr.com/photos/omnitrigger/). John's images have often gotten me out of bed, and spurred me to get up on this side of the hills.
