This is not the Grand Canyon, but from this scene you get some idea of why this region is called Canyonlands. The river you see is the Colorado River that has been working on cutting out this gorge for millions of years. This is part of Canyonlands National Park, Utah. View large to see more of the detail. This photo is just full of detail and natural texture.
Unbelievable conditions at night with almost nothing to post process as it was totally clean already.
It's the very last Antonov in the world to wear the old ADB livery.

More storm devastation on Merivale Rd. in Ottawa! This happened across from Merivale Mall on the right of this pic. More than 10 people died after this powerful storm tore through our area! It could have been so many more! Power is still out for hundreds of thousands!
Good morning,
Here's a photo from Ubud, Bali: Indonesia. I was fortunate enough to spend several evenings watching Baliense dance last summer when I was in Bali.
Although, I am not a portrait photographer, it's hard to pass up opportunitiesl like this when they are presented.

After witnessing an unbelievably beautiful sunset at Rauðisandur (see A Burst of Colors and Bathed in Gold) and exploring the cliffs of Látrabjarg with some amazing views out onto the sea (see Matthias Kühmayer), we finally made it to the last location on our must-see list of the Westfjords: the almighty Dynjandi.
After a one and a half hour drive from Rauðisandur, we arrived at the parking lot, from where you can already see this enormous veil of water up the hill. However, at first we were not overly impressed, most likely because Dynjandi is one of the few waterfalls that look much more impressive the closer you get (as we learned). So we took our bags and hiked all the way up, stopping at all the waterfalls downstream from Dynjandi, and the closer we got, the more we couldn’t believe how gigantic this waterfall actually is. Due to the mediocre weather, there weren’t too many people there, so we could take some posing shots on a rock near the cascades. We also tried to take some images with our cameras, but we were struggling a bit since the trapezoidal shape of this waterfall makes it difficult to create a balanced composition. Together with the not-so-great weather, the pretty much single wide-angle composition left us not really satisfied, and so we put on our tele lenses and took a few close-up long-exposures of the cascades which I might also share one day.
However, it was not until we hiked back down that I took my favourite image from this location. Back at the parking lot, I noticed some people right in front of the waterfall. I then tried to take a test image with my smartphone and the super-pixelated image due to the digital zoom revealed that this could make a very nice composition. The only downside was that we were very hungry since we had already been exploring the area for a couple of hours. However, when I spot a composition with potential, especially in such an epic location, all my vital needs are pushed to the background. Not to the delight of my girlfriend who was already pretty hangry, I pulled out my tripod again, put on my 100-400 and an ND filter and took a few long exposures while she had a snack in our van. I was only going to take a few shots, but then I waited until there were fewer people around, and luckily I was patient enough to wait until one guy was standing right on the edge of the cliff. To be honest, there were two other people on the right edge of the frame which I cloned out (since they were standing there forever) to make the image look cleaner. All in all, I really like how this image turned out, especially since not showing the entire waterfall makes for a much more balanced composition and the single guy standing there really adds scale and shows the gigantic dimensions of these cascades. I hope you like it too!
This was one of my first thoughts when I saw this place. Lake Moraine has to be the most beautiful lake I have ever seen in the world! The water color was so vibrant and blue. This smokey morning made the water have a bit more of a warm tint to it, but it was still incredible. I love trying to take in the less familiar views of a very well known place to show the beauty that is often overlooked. God has instilled beauty all over His creation.
New Lamborghini Countach in Romania. I never thought I would see this car on the streets of my country.
In 2021 I saw the 80s Countach in Monaco and and it was a magical moment and now ... the new Countach in Romania. 112 unites of the revival of Countach in entire world.
I parked my car and I really had about 20 seconds to take pictures before the owner left, definitely one of the most unreal moments. Still can't believe it.

It's winter-fall
Read skies are gleaming, oh
Sea-gulls are flyin' over
Swans are floatin' by
Smoking chimney-tops
Am I dreaming
Am I dreaming?
The nights draw in
There's a silky moon up in the sky, yeah
Children are fantasizing
Grown-ups are standin' by
What a super feeling
Am I dreaming
Am I dreaming?
Woh-woh-woh-woh
So quiet and peaceful
(Dreaming) Tranquil and blissful
(Dreaming) There's a kind of magic in the air
(Dreaming) What a truly magnificent view
(Dreaming) A breathtaking scene
With the dreams of the world
In the palm of your hand
A cozy fireside chat
(Dreaming) A little this, a little that
(Dreaming) Sound of merry laughter skippin' by
(Dreaming) Gentle rain beatin' on my face
(Dreaming) What an extraordinary place!
And the dream of the child
Is the hope of the, hope of the man
It's all so beautiful
Like a landscape painting in the sky, yeah
Mountains are zoomin' higher, uh
Little girls scream an' cry
My world is spinnin' and spinnin' and spinnin'
It's unbelievable
Sends me reeling
Am I dreaming
Am I dreaming?
Oooh, it's bliss
One of the more unbelievable locomotives I photographed in SP’s West Colton diesel facility was this GM&O GP35 in the Black scheme still with Alco trucks. 4.86

Waterlily detail, filled with water, floating on water. I've seen images of this kind of lily, but was still astounded at how vibrant the colors are in person when I saw one for the first time live in a botanical garden in Maui.
Explored at #60 on 8-29-11.
Just before sunrise in unbelievably beautiful and romantic Oia on the Greek island of Santorini. Usually you see only pictures of the west side with that famous windmill (left part of the image). But that doesn’t show how the town stretches far along the crest of the mountain surrounding the Caldera. So now, finally, you get the whole picture.

Three weeks ago I put up a photo of a Momma Mallard duck -- her head injured -- and eight young ducklings swimming with her. A couple days later I added another, without mom, and one of the ducks quacking out instructions.
Now, almost three weeks later, I got another shot of the family, and it is completely intact. All eight ducklings have survived...and have grown considerably.

An incredible display of light, colors and shapes from Zabriskie Point in Death Valley National Park. Even Better: www.aaronreedphotography.com/photo/landscape-death-valley...
Unbelievable frost this morning hung off the branches at least one inch thick, I have never seen it this thick. The sun was shining brightly and it made for the most amazing shoot.
This image has only a minimal enhancement.
Unbelievably windy conditions on Crosby beach, i thought i was going to blow away. The water was very shallow but the wind was blowing directly at me, i decided to try and keep a bit movement in the water.
Winter on the prairie has been unbelievably mild; ice on the river forms, melts, reforms. As a result I'm spending more time than usual with the macro lens and tripod, freezing my knees, relearning what I already knew: that there is unlimited potential for images in very simple subject matter.
Do you see a face in profile? I can't see anything else! The ice man. He'll be gone now, replaced by who knows what. This ice shelf was thin, would not support my weight if I tried to shift directly over it to shoot down at a perpendicular angle, ie. parallel plane focusing. Therefore I had to shoot at a slant, which is why the "forehead" and "shoulder" are both a little out of focus, even at f/32. The central area is sharp, though, and I think that in this case, it's enough.
Every successful photo - barring flukes - is the result of solving a two-part problem. First, the seeing part. Something has moved us or at least tweaked our interest. It could be the light bouncing off a city skyline, or a configuration of clouds at sunset, or ice forming at the edge of a river. Somehow, we see a photo op and we figure out how we want to compose our shot. Then, the technical part. How much depth of field is needed? Which lens? Shutter speed? ISO? Tripod? All those considerations and more come into play.
A good photographer learns how to handle both parts of the problem. You can't make consistently great images if you only know the tech part and try to methodically follow so-called rules of composition; you have to free up the imagination and really learn to see. Similarly, great vision can be undermined by poor technique. I get it that not everybody has the time, the desire, or the resources to push this hard. There are creative geniuses in the world, I suppose, to whom this comes easily; the rest of us have to learn it step by step. But what an amazing journey it can be!

This is a code 3 bird in the States. Common in the tropics. Some individuals can appear anywhere in the U.S. during Spring and Summer. This immature bird does not have the long-elegant tail of an adult - unbelievably long.
This was such a highlight for me so here is a tighter frame of this scene we lucked into.
One of the absolute biggest treats for me on my Minnesota adventure was seeing this, and if you don't believe me just ask Frank and John how giddy I was when we drove up and found a crew on board! While I knew that this locomotive was here and had the intention of trying to find it time permitting, I never expected to see it operating.
ILSX 1378 is an EMD SW1 built Jul. 1953 as Boston and Maine 1122 in minuteman maroon, she later wore McGinnis blue and eventually was renumbered 1402. The 600 hp switcher was quite popular with 661 built between 1938 and 1953 and the B&M ultimately owned 24. This one made it into the Guilford era to end up in grey and orange and lettered for Springfield Terminal before finally being sold in 1992. She bounced around as a leaser in her Guilford paint lettered RTEX 1402 before being acquired by Minnesota based Independent Locomotive Service around 2007. Repainted in this maroon and gold reminiscent of her as delivered livery she has been assigned here for 15 years. If you're looking for a switcher yourself or just want to learn more about Independent Locomotive check out their corporate site here: ilsloco.com/locomotive/
The 1378 was smoking and shuddering a bit as she pulled some cars out of the Hansen-Mueller elevator M on Toeldo Pier and is backing them down to the Quebec Pier which dominates the background. The old Daisy Roller Mill here dates from 1893 and closed in the 1970s, but this pier itself was the very first one built on Superior Harbor in 1853. To learn a bit more check out this link:

The yard trackage here is the remnants of the former Northern Pacific branchline to Ashland that was abandoned in 1985. It is connected to the outside world today by BNSF's Highline that comes up from the location of the old Hill Avene ore yard located down by the Superior Refinery.
As for this little switcher, it was pretty remarkable to see her still moving revenue freight 70 years after she was built. For me personally it was pretty cool to be in the company of a New England expat that once toiled in and around Boston and certainly spent countless days at BET (Boston Engine Terminal), the modern incarnation of which I report to every night. I know of a few other old BM SW1s survive including at least three preserved at museums in New England and three more that once worked for Pennsylvania shortline Luzerne and Susquehanna as well as perhaps one other at an elevator somewhere. If anyone here has a definitive list I'd love to know.

…my bowl is EMPTY!”
Obviously the staff got distracted.
Happy Caturday.
(Amazingly, I got my 2 Caturday photos within a few minutes of each other - the easiest photos for ages. Bella just did the first pose, waited for the photo, then did the second pose. It’s only her usual food bowl, but she must have known about this week’s theme!)
Jamison Point, South Coast, New South Wales
What a special location this one is. Rather than shooting the vivid sunrise to my right, I turned momentarily to my left to photograph the view looking towards Potato Point.
Luckily I was able to capture a large wave hitting the rockshelf in the distance, sending up two pillars of water. I have also included the photographer (Brendan Goodger) perched on the large rock on the left to provide a sense of scale.
