I found it struggle to make landscape photography work during the summer, but it's fine for planning autumn photography. I have planned this photo from June, and I finally nailed it in this week's trip to the Isle of Skye.
I chose the route from Sligachan with a total of 8 miles hike to the summit. It's only 494 meters in height, but it's steep and tough with 30 KG of camping gear and photography equipment. I had to take a few breaks before reached to the summit. The hike is challenging, but the view is definitely worth it. The northern wind blew fiercely on the summit. I set up my tent just behind these rocks, which created a perfect windbreaker and protected me from the wind gusts. Some incredible sunset I had while I was eating my dinner on the summit. I didn't get much sleep due to the noise of the wind and rain flapped the tent.
No rain, no breeze when I woke up at 5 AM. I have to say I had my faith in meteorologists, and they didn't fail me this time. The photo was taken at the blue hour (around 6 AM), followed by some fantastic sunrise photos.
When the going gets tough, the tough get a new head.
Many thanks to the kind CSR at Legacy named Alli who helped me figure out my neck issues. It turned out not to be a Legacy problem, but she went above and beyond helping me fix it.
Everything eventually succumbs to the rigors of the high-desert of Southern Utah.
I suppose what attracts me to images of western dead trees is the evidence of a life of willful endurance so openly exposed in their texture and shape. These roots and branches are so twisted and wrought in order to make their way to life sustaining nutrients, hold fast during intense storms and enable this life to take advantage of beautiful days when the skies are clear, the sun is bright, the winds are calm, and the soil is fertile.
Most of us don't think of trees as much more than inanimate objects. What I see here is an aggressive, zealous approach to life, built over decades, which - when it did end, for whatever reason - did not go quietly into that good night.
I foolishly thought at 9:00 PM this overpass would be an easy shot without people. Boy was I wrong!
This is a connector between the MRT (underground) and Airport Rail Link and was jammed packed with people. This one took 45 minutes to get a people free shot. A reasonable person would have given up after a minute or two as the scene is OK but not great

No, just a Fledgling Barn Swallow that perhaps already doesn't like being photographed !! Seen at Malibu Lagoon.
Took a bike ride around the village of Ninh Binh as part of the tour. It has been raining all day and the roads were wet and slippery. Glad to make out of the 30-minute ride without going into the ditch or crashing into someone.

Thanks for your visit and taking the time to comment, very much appreciated!🙋♀️
It was a blowout Spring for Zebra swallowtails - mainly because we found several pawpaw patches (their host trees) at a WMA we visited for the first time. These two were part of a group puddling with Juvenal's duskywings at Pigeon Mountain GA on the last day of March. No saturation - that's how their coloration pops. One of my favorite butterflies & a tough one to get - we have 3 fruiting pawpaw trees and not a single Zebra - ditto at the wetlands pawpaw patches. @ the Pocket / Pigeon Mtn WMA in NW Georgia
Christmas 2018 album:
An endemic bird of the Western Ghats, these are small colorful Bulbuls that we struggled to shoot. Unlike their other cousins, we sighted these in small groups on 2-3 at best and often in the bush!
They are the size of a typical bulbul, around 17-19 cms, olive colored with a grey head and a small yellow patch on the head around the beak. They were foraging in the bush, hunting for insects, looking around the nests for spiders, but it was tough to get a clear shot. In the forest, where the leaves are yellow and dropping fast, the bird was hard to sight in this season - its colors offered a natural camouflage for them. I must admit that though we spent 6 days in their area, we barely saw them.
We got the other two endemic cousins of this bird though, the flame throated bulbul and the yellow browed bulbul.
Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.

This year, the fog in the Danube valley rarely lifts. The surroundings of these pollard willows can only be guessed at.
Dieses Jahr lost sich der Nebel im Donautal nur selten auf. Die Umgebung dieser Kopfweiden ist nur zu erahnen.
I had not expected that limestone could be so hard and solid. This image shows a section of Cheddar Gorge in Somerset. The rocks are made up of various formations of carboniferous limestone, so around 350 to 300 million years old, whereas meltwater floods in the warm periods of the Ice Ages (in the last one million years or so) cut the gorge into the rock. At the lower end of the gorge there are several caves, one of them was inhabited about 10 000 years ago by "Cheddar Man" - you may remember, the one with the brown skin and the blue/green eyes and with very good connections to the rest of Europe. When he and his people were alive, you could walk to what is now France, Belgium and the Netherlands. The Channel developed later.
