Borth y Gest, Porthmadog, North Wales.
Borth y Gest Coordinates... 52.927°N 4.132°W
Borth-y-Gest, 1 mile (1.6 km) south of Porthmadog, is built in a shallow bowl sweeping down to a sheltered bay, with hidden sandy coves and cliffs. Ships were built here before Porthmadog was established and houses, still known as "pilot houses", were erected at the mouth of the harbour so that pilots could watch for ships needing them.[26] The village and its rows of Victorian houses have retained much of its atmosphere and charm. Stryd Mersey leads up from the bay, flanked by terraced cottages.
Before Porthmadog was developed, this was the starting point of a major crossing over the wide and dangerous Glaslyn estuary. Locals earned money by guiding travellers across the treacherous sands of Traeth Mawr to Harlech.
Parc y Borth is a local nature reserve in deciduous woodland dominated by ancient Welsh oaks. Green woodpeckers, tawny owls and pied flycatchers can be seen among the branches.
On the shore is another nature reserve, Pen y Banc, a mixture of coastal rocks, secluded sandy coves and mixed woodland. Established in 1996, it is a good spot to see wading birds. Its beaches attract many visitors. The mild climate results in a wide variety of vegetation, from gorse and heather through to blackthorn, crab apple, and birch.

North Shore, Llandudno, Conwy County, North Wales.
North Shore, Llandudno Coordinates... 53.325°N 3.826°W
Llandudno North Shore is the larger (and busier) of the two beaches in this long-established seaside resort and is sheltered by two headlands - Great Orme and Little Orme. There are some sandy sections, which are easily accessible via slipway, but it is mainly pebbles towards high tide.
The beachfront is home to a wide promenade with a long elegant Victorian pier at the western end of the beach. This traditional resort offers donkey rides, ice creams, live music from the bandstand, and Punch and Judy shows. It’s also possible to hire deckchairs.
At the east end of the prom there’s a paddling pool and play area, as well as snack outlets. Opposite the North Parade is the Llandudno Land Train, and it’s also possible to take sea fishing or sightseeing boat trips. There are regular announcements about boat trips from the jetties.
This beach is popular with those who enjoy windsurfing and sailing but is not suitable for sea bathing. When the tide is out, the rocks are often covered with algae; jellyfish are also found at certain times of year.

The eucalypti grow rapidly, and many species attain great height. Eucalyptus wood is extensively used as fuel, and the timber is commonly used in buildings and fencing. There are more than 700 species of eucalyptus and most are native to Australia. Species of eucalyptus are cultivated widely in the tropical and temperate world, including the Americas, Europe, Africa, the Mediterranean Basin, the Middle East, China, and the Indian subcontinent. However, the range over which many eucalypts can be planted in the temperate zone is constrained by their limited cold tolerance.
The Blue Mountains of southeastern Australia have been a centre of eucalypt diversification; their name is in reference to the blue haze prevalent in the area, believed derived from the volatile terpenoids emitted by these trees.

In Elgol (Isle of Skye) you could book a boat trip to a seal colony. As soon as we heard about it we had the idea "Let's go there!" It was not just a beautiful day. All the day it rained and it was pretty dark and gloomy. Nevertheless, we take this boat trip despite the bad weather. On the way to the colony, I could see these magnificent mountains on Isle of Skye, which were devoured right of low-lying clouds. A true spectacle. I hope you like it :-)
I want to thank all very much for your "views", "Comments" and "Favourites" :-) The only thing that matters is that you have joy in this photo. Again, thank you :-)

The Story:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some travel sights in this world evoke so much emotion, and truly inspire awe. The Grand Canyon is probably the world’s most impressive natural wonder, and one can never seem to adequately express the grandeur of this sight. Setting up the tripod and sitting out on this rock outcrop I hoped to actually convey a little of this feeling to the viewer.
___________________________________________
About The Grand Canyon:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Grand Canyon is a steep-sided canyon carved by the Colorado River in the United States in the state of Arizona. It is largely contained within the Grand Canyon National Park, one of the first national parks in the United States. President Theodore Roosevelt was a major proponent of preservation of the Grand Canyon area, and visited it on numerous occasions to hunt and enjoy the scenery.
The Grand Canyon is 277 miles (446 km) long, up to 18 miles (29 km) wide and attains a depth of over a mile (6,000 feet / 1,800 metres) Nearly two billion years of the Earth's geological history have been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels through layer after layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted. While the specific geologic processes and timing that formed the Grand Canyon are the subject of debate by geologists, recent evidence suggests the Colorado River established its course through the canyon at least 17 million years ago. Since that time, the Colorado River continued to erode and form the canyon to its present-day configuration.
Before European immigration, the area was inhabited by Native Americans who built settlements within the canyon and its many caves. The Pueblo people considered the Grand Canyon ("Ongtupqa" in Hopi language) a holy site and made pilgrimages to it. The first European known to have viewed the Grand Canyon was García López de Cárdenas from Spain, who arrived in 1540.
This Supercell thunderstorm weather phenomenon can be seen with its hail core in the far distance, this was quite a difficult shot as the storm covered much of the sky and I had to use 9 images to fit it into this shot.
Taken near the town of Ogallala, Nebraska, USA.
If you would like to chase storms across America and learn how to capture images like these, we will be running a 10-day photography tour in June 2020, with www.weatherholidays.com This will be Tour 5 of the 2020 chase season starting in Denver.

The Bigger Picture, Mt. Washington and the Milky Way.
Here's a photo I made during that windy night at Mt. Washington.
Up in the mountains there is much less light pollution from the city so the stars really shine well. Looking at the milky way and the rest of the cosmos really makes one think of big things.
I forget I am a Portlander. I forget I am an Oregonian. I forget I am an American. I forget I am from a particular race and have a certain color of skin (or lack thereof). And I forget that I am an earthling. I only feel as if I am one with THE ALL.
I can't help but think if more people would stop to look up at the heavens more often that they might have a similar feeling. I can't help but believe people would be less divided by "patriotism," religion, and other ideologies.
For me, no temple or church can match the beauty of the temple of the night sky.
It is mid blowing to think that everyone of those stars has planets revolving around them like we have with our sun. And what we can see is just an unfathomable small selection of what is out there.
I know this is not a technically perfect celestial - astronomy image; there's a fair amount of noise from the extremely high iso and some color banding. The wind was blowing so hard that I got a dose of vibration surely in the exposure, however I thought I would share nonetheless.

When its nesting time the Wood Duck Hen will tend to eggs and the young while the drake brings nourishment to her. The tree hole she is nesting in maybe the worst choice you could imagine as she stick out against the plumage to tree exterior being total different colors. It's not he most vulnerable time for her and the little ones. So the slow moving stream she feels safe with will cover her with any color the water maybe from settled and clear or flood rush brown. She will blend in and the shimmer of her colorful patches on each side provide flash as a to mimic a creek ripple. Once the young are out of the nest hole. It's life on the water until migration and they move on safely!

A total of 7 images in portrait orientation were stitched together for this panorama that is 9410x4218.
After a hike to Glacier Point and then taking some family photos, I used my Really Right Stuff tripod and ballhead to take this panorama. The sky clean blue with puffy clouds and the temp was perfect.
