Picture-perfect layer cake beach. Result of post-glacier coastline rising in area with little to no tide and fortuitous geographical protection from storms. North shore of Bathurst Inlet, Nunavut. Image in several publications via Creative Commons.
West-facing view of ~100 m-wide Franklin dike on Borden Peninsula in Mala River drainage halfway between Arctic Bay and Pond Inlet, Nunavut, Canada.
718 million years ago, a plugged-up mantle plume went sideways, travelling at depth within the Earth's crust. The underground molten rock moved eastwards along the Canadian Shield's Arctic coast from a long lost source in the western Arctic Ocean.
Obstructed mantle plume events form thick horizontal sills in layered sedimentary rocks near the mantle plume. The mafic-ultramafic melt also forms vertical dike swarms that often travel in parallel. Such underground dikes traverse plastic continental crust at depth. They advance at the speed of galloping horses when slicing through granite and metamorphosed migmatite terrains.
The giant mafic-ultramafic dike shown here has travelled 2000 km to reach western Baffin Island. GSC geology maps show substantial dikes continuing for another 1000 km to Baffin Island's east end.

It was a nice treat to see the perfectly uniform bottom dump coal hoppers on this eastbound snaking through Sully Springs.
Westbound stacks meet eastbound coal loads at one of the two wooden bridges east of Hawley. It's a wonderful place to watch trains with good friends and that's exactly what we did on this Saturday evening.
This photo is a result of me not wanting to read my horrible, horrible Strategic Management textbook. Seriously. On top of the fact that this paperback piece of crap cost 170 dollars, each chapter takes like 2 hours to read, and we already have a midterm next week.
Two more quarters.. Two.. More.. Quarters.. Then I'm free to trick some employer into hiring me (or something like that).
Oh yeah, and I made this cowl. I'm trying to convince Nicole that starting an Etsy is a good idea, because there's no way that either of us can use all the stuff we make in our spare time (her about 50 times more than me, but still!).
Made it to Explore. Thanks, everyone!

I've been inspired lately to finally edit some photos I've had collecting digital dust. Here's one from the thirty minutes I spent in Green Bay.

This is what the majority of west Arkansas looks like. Even though this is clearly through a windshield, I couldn't help but to get at least one picture.

Thank you in advance for your views, comments, and faves. They are much appreciated!
During mid-morning on 9th November 2014, Kreka Mines 'Kriegslok' 2-10-0 33-064 storms away from the yard with empties for Sikulje mine, just before shutting off for the downhill section into the mine complex. Such were the challenges of this working, but alas daily scenes like this are no longer possible to witness.

With my apologies for the weird processing, the owl's hideaway was extremely dark and the roof tiles, extremely bright.
A pair of great horned owls, the largest owl species in North America, for many years has nested in one of Yellowstone National Park's busiest locations, the historic district of Mammoth Hot Springs. The female is identifiable by her lighter plumage, the male's feathers are "textbook" for his kind.
This year three owlets hatched. This day they had already "branched," i.e., started hopping from branch to branch and exercising their wings with vigorous flapping, but not yet able to fly.
The male, shown here, as is typical when the nest tree gets so crowded with big babies, was roosting elsewhere. In this case, he had tucked himself beneath shady eaves in a nearby-by building.
A timely reminder at the 100 milestone. No time? No inspiration? Feeling annoyed at being the only one parked in the work car park on a public holiday?
Simply shoot anything, over-process and move on.

Textbook love in the textbook style

Manage to catch exactly the effect I was looking for with this one with a textbook image of a conversion being kicked.
I've been reading photographers' discussions on various external flash accessories. These are updated comparisons for 6th edition of my textbook, "Photojournalism: The Professionals' Approach."
For these tests, the subject remained at the same distance from the background, and the flash was located nine feet from the subject. Pictures in the left column were taken inside. Those in the right column were taken outside.
From top to bottom, the Indoor/Outdoor comparisons are for:
Direct Flash
Bouncing the flash off a ceiling
Fong diffuser
Lumiquest
Omnidome
Through a softbox
Off an umbrella
Through an umbrella
Outdoors or in a large ballroom or gymnasium, all the accessories work less well at softening shadows. Inside, light scatters off many surfaces. Outside, the scattered light rays coming from the accessories have few surfaces to bounce off.
Notice, in the outdoor series, that the shadow behind the model is darker in almost each situation.
All accessories are subject to the same laws of physics.

As a child, textbooks drafted a landscape in my mind;
A meadow where crystal-like clear water streams through lush green grass; where there are mountains, and sheep, and shepherd, but no tourists; where wind is quiet and peaceful; where sky is clear; where there are reflections; and where nothing drastic like steep mountains or big lakes exist.
Travelling along 10 miles long Noori-Naar, I was sure that the author tried to portray this place, in his text. It's a place, where I would love to wander all day long.
Noori-Naar connects the valleys of Kaghan and Neelum, in Northern Pakistan. Noori-Pass (White Snowed Mountain above) is the junction.
