Santa Catalina Island Sunset
This was our sunset view from Top of the World in Laguna Beach. I've been to Catalina Island before, but it's been a long time. On my last trip, I was heading over on a February evening with rough seas. My best guess is the swells were about 20'. It was a wild ride! www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzIav6m2VbA

On the "El Teide" descent I walked over the clouds and it was like being on the top of the world, a real wonder!
Thank you for your visits comments and favs!

If there were a fence at the North Pole, I figure it might look like this because, you know, the North Pole is curved as if it were on the top of a globe. :-)

Thank you very much everyone for the kind words and comments!
Really appreciated :^)
The Santa Ana Mountains as seen from the "Top of the World" - a park at the highest point in Laguna Beach. From this view it's easy to see why these two peaks are commonly referred to as Saddleback Mountain.
These were growing all over Fisher Mesa, but I chose this cluster on the rim of the Mesa, referred to as The Top of the World. The Colorado River and Professor Valley are in the bokeh.
"The view from here's breathtaking
My visions all surrounding
The humans look like insects
There is only one way down
But i's cold and lonely in this stratos
Gliding through the darkness
Where is my craft leading to
Am i damned or blessed?
Don't let go on top of the world..."

I read that when visiting Baltimore's Inner Harbor, go up to Federal Hill Park and enjoy the view. That indeed is the case and what a view!! The city skyline is on display and I even caught American Ninja Warrior setting up to film a show, what a production to get all the obstacles set up!

"Although the high elevation elicits many to celebrate the Beartooth Mountains as the "Top of the World", the age of the rocks in these mountains creates even greater distinction—some of these crystalline rocks constitute not just the oldest rocks of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, but the second oldest rocks yet found in North America and the third oldest in the world." usps.gov
Near the top of the Pass, heading towards Montana.

Walking on top of the world, or may seem that little hump at 3rd and Cincinnati in downtown Tulsa always highlights those crossing the crosswalk.
Beartooth Mountain : Tallest peak 12,799 ft.
Beartooth Pass at 10, 947 feet offers a wonderful view as you make your way up the well-maintained road 212. The late Charles Kuralt (former CBS News reporter) named it “The Most Beautiful Drive in America.” The scenic drive passes through North West Wyoming and South-Central Montana. The road is closed in the winter and early spring. Stop in Cooke City to check road conditions. You can also ask Rangers as you leave YNP. As you can see there is lots of snow! Sudden snow storms can close the road for a few hours or a few days. This shot was taken June2, 2024. In some areas, the snow looked to be 12 feet high. During some years, visitors come to play in the snow on the 4th of July. This area is very close to the YNP. Keep your eyes open for mountain goats and marmots. Allow 2-3 hours for the adventure to the top and return to Cooke City. There are many pull offs to view snow, falls, and animals. Have your picture made by the sign at Beartooth Pass.

... an unending vista of fjords and mountains, at the top of a hike overlooking Lustrafjord, Norway
... a trip down memory lane to Norway, which I visited just over 2 years ago, a most magical place on earth ... I posted a few photos from there last year, and in the absence of another such exotic trip this year, will revisit some more from time to time

The good weather angels were with us on this day. Perfect weather for a 900 foot vertical hike to take in this world class view.

Northern Norway
I haven’t a clue whereabouts I am, except to say it’s the furthest north I’ve ever been. I’m guessing somewhere heading towards Arnøyhamn and the whale feeding grounds. This was a full day’s excursion with a lot of travelling time to get there.
If I learnt anything from that day’s photography, it’s this… shooting with a long lens in poor light on a rocking boat ain’t good! Settings went out of the window – high ISO, wide aperture, anything to keep a decent shutter speed which still wasn’t good enough for a quality image. Maybe my camera is getting old and its technology has been left behind for such conditions… or maybe I’m not cut out to be a wildlife photographer.
This is the end of the road called "Top of the World Expedition Route", and parking is clearly limited. This guy is celebrating with a beer, his front wheels parked 2 feet from the edge on a ledge that overhangs a drop that could not be survived by vehicle or man, not even if he was wearing a seat belt.
Just before you cross the border from British Columbia into Alaska at White Pass, a wonderful vista opens up across Summit Lake to the Boundary Ranges in the southeast.

Short Story: I recently got back from Italy and visiting in the Dolomite mountain range for 6 nights. The building on the left is where we slept for 2 nights.
Long Story: I was on a photography workshop, lead by Erin Babnik, that took us through various locations in the Dolomite mountain range and we spent 6 nights in various mountain huts within the region.
It was an amazing experience with a great group of people and I don't think I could have enjoyed it more. It was an absolutely stunning area to explore and I had some amazing opportunities for images.
Snow-dusted pines and a granite spire frame a surge of orographic cloud spilling west off Sandia Crest, with the Rio Grande valley and the Manzano range fading on the horizon. A dry high-desert plain meets winter mountain air—clean lines, big scale, and a sweeping diagonal that pulls you from ridge to city.

I’ve been putting this one off since the day I downloaded all my images from the trip as I think the quality is poor. It was always going to be a difficult shoot but the most important thing is we actually saw a few whales – humpbacks to be precise and not a single orca in sight.
But I’ve decided to post it in the hope that someone will give feedback on how to improve wildlife images but more in-camera setting than processing the life out of the image. I read/heard somewhere that if shooting with a zoom, say 300mm, then the shutter speed should be as least be 1/300 sec to compensate for camera movement/shake. Considering the poor light and the rolling of the boat I couldn’t get anywhere near that, hence the ridiculous high ISO.
Sorry for my tale of woe, but any insight will be helpful.
Nevermind the length of life.
What if you have just one day ?
Would you stay sleepless ?
What if you have to learn everything ?
Would you stay open ?
What if you have to touch the heart ?
Would you come over ?
What if you have to live it up ?
Would you walk slower ?
Would you come closer ?
Would you talk louder ?
Would you cherish silent more ?
I don’t think so.
You would remain the same idiot as you ever was.
nevermind!
better use some flavour
(woohoo cinnamon for every meal!!!)
meal tastes better,
life runs slower,
enjoy and smile more … :)
