Was on the road at 2:30am to make the long drive east to Rowena Crest in the Columbia River Gorge. The wind was howling so I did the best I could to try and stop the movement of the wild flowers. This was the maiden voyage for the D800
Wild Purple Chinese House Flowers in East Bay
This is my 4th attempt on this spot in this wild flower season, and glad I finally got what I want.
The sunset burn was predicted by Yiupai sunrise/sunset forecast service.

I went to Mogshade this morning hoping for some misty valley scenes but instead I got dense fog.
I couldn't get inspired out in the open so I headed into the woods which was a good decision as the conditions were perfect for that.
However I am not really that brilliant at woodland photography although the fog and some nice light helped. What looked amazing to the eye hasn't quite transpired to the monitor.
I always like a good sunstar though.
Have a lovely weekend x
Tide was low at sundown on Lone Ranch Beach, thus many rocks and much sea life was exposed. In the distance, a figure stood on the sea stacks at the base of Cape Ferrelo.
This beautiful area has a troubled history. Cape Ferrelo was named after a Spanish Explorer of the area in 1592 when Spain was seeking control. The beach was named after an early settler who established a ranch here and had conflict with the natives. The inhabitants before the arrival of Europeans were the Chetco. The Chetco lived in villages here and harvested the bounty of sea life. The Chetco were massacred in the mid 1850's, and the survivors were forced to move the Siletz Reservation a couple hundred miles north. The Chetco are now part of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians although they have maintained strong cultural ties to the area. Minerals were found here and the US Borax Company did some mining in 1890's and 1960's. The company is currently engaged in controversial development of a thousand residential units and a commercial area. It's controversial as a result of possible degradation of rare plants and archeological sites. When we visited, we were unaware of the history and found the rugged beauty of the beach and the cape amazing.
Happy Slider Sunday!
This photo and area in general give me very nostalgic vibes from one autumn a few years back, before I got into photography, feels as though I captured the photo here how I would have back then if I had a camera : )

The iconic Delicate Arch is a great spot for sunset. We never really got a super sunset, but I like the Sunstar on this one.
A break in the rain brought me out with my camera. Saw the reflection on the droplet and the sun reflecting off of it and here it is.
The morning was sunny despite the cold of this winter, so I went out to one of my favorite catwalks to test my fisheye.
The first documentary reference to Pozuelo de Alarcón dates from the 16th century, under the name "Pozuelo de Aravaca", in the so-called "Topographic Relations" of King Felipe II, carried out in the year 1576.
The next documentary record that is preserved is from 1632, when this place was sold to Don Luis de Ocaña y Alarcón, who would turn the town into an ancestry for his eldest son Gabriel, under the name of Pozuelo de Alarcón, a name that has been preserved up to the present, for the amount of 2,454,929 maravedis, due to the impossibility of its neighbors to face said disbursement to prevent its sale.
At that time, around 512 inhabitants resided in 128 homes. (Source: book "Pozuelo de Alarcón 1600-2000, De su venta, a ciudad metropolitana")
Photo taken in Pozuelo de Alarcón, Madrid, Spain, with a Nikon Z 7 II camera with a 7Artisans 10mm F2.8 FishEye lens attached for full frame cameras, which has 178º coverage, but has no connection pins to the camera, therefore some of the metadata information is either wrong or non-existent.

La mañana estaba soleada a pesar del frío de este invierno, así que salí a una de mis pasarelas preferidas a probar mi ojo de pez.
La primera referencia documental sobre Pozuelo de Alarcón data del siglo XVI, con el nombre de "Pozuelo de Aravaca", en las llamadas "Relaciones Topográficas" del rey Felipe II, realizadas en el año de 1576.
El siguiente registro documental que se conserva es de 1632, cuando este lugar se vende a D. Luis de Ocaña y Alarcón, que convertiría la localidad en un mayorazgo para su hijo primogénito Gabriel, bajo la denominación de Pozuelo de Alarcón, nombre que ha conservado hasta la actualidad, por la cantidad de 2.454.929 maravedíes, ante la imposibilidad de sus vecinos de hacer frente a dicho desembolso para impedir su venta.
En esa época residían alrededor de 512 habitantes en 128 hogares. (Fuente: libro "Pozuelo de Alarcón 1600-2000, De su venta, a ciudad metropolitana")
Foto hecha en Pozuelo de Alarcón, Madrid, España, con una cámara Nikon Z 7 II con una lente acoplada de 7Artisans 10mm F2.8 FishEye para cámaras de formato completo, que tiene una cobertura de 178º, pero no tiene pines de conexión con la cámara, por tanto parte de la información de metadatos o bien es errónea o es inexistente.

Ponta de São Lourenço is a cape and nature reserve on Madeira Island. It belongs to the territory of the municipality of Caniçal in the district of Machico and includes the easternmost tip of Madeira. The headland is also called "Dragon's Tail".
Just before sunrise, a glittering starry sky stretched above our heads as we scrambled up the slope to the viewpoint loaded with our cameras. The effort was worth it, although the strong wind directly on the cliff to the sea caused a queasy feeling.

Die Ponta de São Lourenço ist ein Kap und Naturschutzgebiet auf der Insel Madeira. Es gehört zum Gebiet der Gemeinde Caniçal im Kreis Machico und umfasst die östlichste Spitze Madeiras. Die Landzunge wird auch "Drachenschwanz" genannt.
Kurz vor Sonnenaufgang spannte sich ein glitzernder Sternenhimmel über unseren Köpfen, während wir mit unseren Kameras beladen die Hang zum Aussichtspunkt hochkraxelten. Die Anstrengung hat sich gelohnt, obwohl der starke Wind direkt an der Klippe zum Meer ein mulmiges Gefühl verursacht hat.
