While traveling for work I decided to visit the Palouse in Eastern Washington. I've seen so many wonderful images from Steptoe Butte it was fun to finally experience the wonderful vistas from this spot.

As you can see, structured paper can be the center of attention, but does not have to (actually in the good old printing times the focus on the structure would have been considered manieristic, but I love all my creatures anyway)

Still testing out this old OM lens, of which I read a good review some times ago, after stumbling upon a series of very beautiful images taken with it, which did not give the feeling of being the product of a ’70-’80 lens at all. I've found by chance a mint copy for peanuts at the used camera store I frequently visit in the neighborhood to kill time (and with it, my these-days-always-too-few bucks) and only after I realized we had one in our collection...! Doh~!
Anyway... I love OM lenses because (beside being a log time Oly user) they belong to a time when Olympus used to do things very well and with pride. And while they can not equate modern HD lenses for digital, almost all of them are top notch and still delivers quality images with a special character. The only regret is that they can’t be used directly on Pentax FF bodies, unless you change their mount with a Leitax one, with some slight modification: flange distance is almost identical, therefore too thin to accept a standard adapter ring. So you need one with extra refocusing glass inside, which unfortunately tend to bring a loss of quality, brightness, colors when you less expect it (none to be seen in these images, though).
You can find a good description of the lens here:

Despite its age and its pioneering status (the first Oly zoom) it is reasonably sharp, with a good color bouquet (greens and red are vivid and with a slight yellow component). The quick blur transition when you move away from the center is, I think, to be attributed to the extra glass of the adapter, which also contribute unwanted flares in frontal strong light, and a bit of iridescent glare at the edges of back-lit outlines.
A summer storm had moved off leaving behind blue skies. It was my daughters last day of Jr High school. A Fantastic way to represent transitions.
Life's transitions, my friends, they're like the seasons. Just when you've gotten used to one, it changes its tune. One moment, you're basking in the warmth of summer, thinking you've got it all figured out. But guess what? Winter's just around the corner, ready to toss snowballs of reality right in your face. And isn't that just how life works? We sail along, making plans, chasing dreams, only to be hit by an unexpected curveball – a twist in the plot, if you will. It's like the universe saying, "Hey, remember, you're not really in control." So, just as you swap out your shorts for sweaters, remember to embrace life's transitions, because they're the rhythm of existence, the ever-changing dance that keeps us guessing, stumbling, and sometimes even finding our groove.
Just around the north corner of Hollow Rock Resort was this transition of sky to rock I missed when I originally visited in 2017. Undisturbed by global noise and a great place to relax with an adult beverage. It photographs nice too.

A wet and blustery afternoon at the start of Autumn on one of the most popular 'Edges' in the Derbyshire Peak District.
Signs of Autumn just starting to appear in the Stanage Plantation below, as the summer heather fades and dies. A true transition between the seasons.
Last week I could read the future like a roadmap on the table. Now I'm listening to Leonard Cohen repeat what he told me half a century ago:
"Please understand, I never had a secret chart
to get me to the heart of this
or any other matter"

Visiting mum in South East London between Christmas and New Year, catching this Southeastern Class 707 EMU from Canon Street Station, pretty much empty on a Saturday morning.
This serene landscape captures the quiet beauty of dawn as soft light gently pierces through the mist, illuminating the tranquil waters of a secluded lake. The delicate transition from darkness to light creates a peaceful and hopeful atmosphere, inviting the viewer to witness the calm stillness of nature awakening. The smooth reflections on the water mirror the subtle gradients of the sky, enhancing the meditative quality of the scene.
