From Crackpot to Gunnerside, Upper Swaledale. After effects of recent storms & flooding can been seen in the water lying in the fields. Taken from The Fleak road.
A view of Upper Glacier Gorge in Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. From left to right: Half Mountain and Storm Peak, with Longs Peak totally obscured by clouds, followed by the Keyboard of the Winds and Pagoda Mountain, and (I think) Thatchtop cut off on the right. I believe we were on Flattop Mountain Trail when I took this, though we were on a guided snowshoe hike so I lost track of where we were exactly! Some added noise in the sky from the huge snowflakes falling as the sun began to set.
The northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) is the only mockingbird commonly found in North America. This bird is mainly a permanent resident, but northern birds may move south during harsh weather. This species has rarely been observed in Europe. This species was first described by Linnaeus in his Systema Naturæ in 1758 as Turdus polyglottos. The northern mockingbird is renowned for its mimicking ability, as reflected by the meaning of its scientific name, 'many-tongued mimic.' The northern mockingbird has gray to brown upper feathers and a paler belly. Its wings have white patches which are visible in flight.
The northern mockingbird is an omnivore. It eats both insects and fruits. It is often found in open areas and forest edges but forages in grassy land. The northern mockingbird breeds in southeastern Canada, the United States, northern Mexico, the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands and the Greater Antilles. It is replaced further south by its closest living relative, the tropical mockingbird. The Socorro mockingbird, an endangered species, is also closely related, contrary to previous opinion. The northern mockingbird is listed as of Least Concern according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
The northern mockingbird is known for its intelligence and has also been noted in North American culture. A 2009 study showed that the bird was able to recognize individual humans, particularly noting those who had previously been intruders or threats. Also birds recognize their breeding spots and return to areas in which they had greatest success in previous years. Urban birds are more likely to demonstrate this behavior. Finally, the mockingbird has influenced United States culture in multiple ways. The bird is a State bird of 5 states, has been used in book titles, and has also been used in popular songs and lullabies among other appearances in U.S. culture.

Upper Linville Falls, North Carolina and No.3 from my trip.
Being that much smaller, the upper falls at Linville get a lot less attention than the main falls. And, probably like many people, I was in a hurry to get to one of the main overlooks and only spent a few minutes here.
But when I processed the photos I was struck by the beauty of the upper falls. The two side-by-side drops make for a slightly awkward composition, but with the upper falls you can get that much closer and explore in a way you can't with the main falls. This is one I'd definitely like to revisit.

The Upper Antelope Canyon is a beautiful slot canyon on Navajo property near Page, Arizona. The Navajo name for this canyon is 'Tsé bighánílíní', which means 'the place where water runs through the rocks'. It's accessible via a guided tour only. It's a bit pricey, but worth the money: The sandstone waves and colours are amazing!
🇩🇪 Der Upper Antelope Canyon ist ein wunderschöner Slot Canyon auf dem Navajo-Gebiet in der Nähe von Page, Arizona. Man kann ihn nur mit einer geführten Tour besuchen. Der Eintritt ist nicht gerade günstig, aber der Anblick der Sandsteinwellen ist einmalig: Die Farben sind der Wahnsinn!
Out and about in West Virginia the past couple days ... and for a few more. Having fun hiking in my water shoes ... had to hike about 1/3 mile up along the Falls of Hills Creek to get this view near the base of the Upper Falls. Took quite the number shots along the river with many small drops heading to this location. There is a trail and platform for this waterfall, but at that location it is quite steep with no access to the bottom. But if you head along the trail towards Middle Falls, the trail eventually drops to river level, where you can then enter the river and walk back about 1/3 mile in the creek to get this point of view.
Was a total blast.
Visited a bunch of other locations as well as exploring the highlands around this area of West Virginia.
Sorry to post and run, but the internet around this local, and cell service, has been quite limited or none. This is also a real low resolution version, as the high rez version would not load with the internet here in our cabin.
Upper Sheep Creek Falls, Northport Washington, 21 ft. high. It is an easy hike up from the lower falls to this little gem, hidden away in a pretty little gorge. The descent down to the creek is steep, however, and it is not possible to get all the way to creek level. I had to take the photo from a slippery cliff ledge above the creek.

Upper Caney Falls located in the William B. Bankhead National Forest just outside of Double Springs Alabama.
One week after getting carpel tunnel surgery on my dominant right hand, I have been going through camera withdrawals. So, this morning I took out my little lens and went to my favorite local park. No tripod so all hand held, so dont look too close, lol.
Letchworth State Park was voted #1 state park in the US last year. It boasts three major waterfalls and numerous smaller ones. It also gets some amazing fall colors, when the weather is right for them.
Another from the archive.
Upper Antelope Canyon at noon, Page, AZ
The canyon is accessible only by guided tour, lead by Navajo (the land is owned by the Navajo).
I read that tripods are no longer allowed and photography specific tours are no longer available. I used a tripod when I went, but I guess a fast image stabilized lens will be required from now on...
The stories the guides tell of the land, the discovery of the place… are as interesting as the place itself.
Flash floods have been known to occur here, so it is best to avoid monsoon season, and stay with your guide at all times.
Speaking of backup batteries, it is a good thing I followed my own advice, because my battery died just before I took this shot. The 20D was still new to me then, and I wanted to see how many shots I could get from one battery. I still remember the look on the guys face next to me when I said to myself “uh oh, dead battery!”
Please have a look at my Arizona album for more.
Upper West (former: Atlas Tower) is a tower at the Breitscheidplatz in Charlottenburg, Berlin/Germany. With its 119 meters it is the fourth highest building in Berlin.
Upper Falls is at the trail head of the 6 mile hike that connects the major areas of Hocking Hills. A beautiful gorge trail, the hike winds past several waterfalls and caves along the way.
"Old Man's Cave derives its name from the hermit Richard Rowe who lived in the large recess cave of the gorge. His family moved to the Ohio River Valley around 1796 from the Cumberland Mountains of Tennessee to establish a trading post. He and his two dogs traveled through Ohio along the Scioto River in search of game. On one side trip up Salt Creek, he found the Hocking Region. Rowe lived out his life in the area and is buried beneath the ledge of the main recess cave." (hockinghills.com/old_mans_cave.html)"
The sedimentary rocks formed in the Upper Cretaceous that occur in the region of Torotoro, Bolivia, belong to the El Molino Formation, which can be divided into three members due to their distinct lithologic characteristics. The lower member consists of carbonate rocks, the intermediate member by siliciclastic and mixed rocks, and the upper, by carbonate rocks. These association of rocks occur as the upper strata of the Torotoro Syncline, a 45 km long and 9.5 km wide feature well preserved in the dynamic of Andean tectonic.

As the San Rafael River descends the eastern side of the San Rafael Swell it cuts two fantastic slot canyons--the Upper Black Box and the Lower Black Box. The Upper, or upstream slot canyon, is approximately 5 miles long, has a maximum depth of 400 feet and a minimum width of 25 feet. Experienced cannoneers rappel either 90 or 180 feet (two routes) into the slot and then wade and swim several miles downstream until the slot dwindles and they can safely exit.
As I was setting up for this shot, I saw that a strap had become draped over the lens. I impatiently pulled it free, inadvertently unscrewing the lens hood, which fell and bounced with a ping on the rock I was standing on. I froze, and made no effort to catch it, for I was perilously close to the edge. But I watched, and listened. It rolled, dropped off the edge, then bounced repeatedly, each time making a distinctive "ping." When the pings stopped, I knew that my lens hood was at the bottom of the slot canyon.
If perchance you are swimming and wading in the Upper Black Box and find a lens hood, please send it to me.

It was looking like Friday morning was the best chance of sunlight for a while, so I set my alarn for 5:30am and headed to Edale.
A pleasure to bump to Nicholas Butt in the village. Nick didn't have time to head up here but it was nice to have a chat (in between trying to breathe) on the way up to The Nab. I arrived up here minutes before sunrise but had to wait a little while for the sun to break through the cloud.
I thought I'd try something different along with the compositions I always re-shoot. This round boulder caught my eye and I managed to balance the right hand side. Not easy with the wind.
This was taken during a crazy dust storm at Upper Antelope Slot Canyon. A couple short stories. First, the dust fell like slightly visible rain. Try as I might to protect my camera, the dust took it out in the end. I suggest that if you are in similar conditions that you tape up your camera with kitchen wrap and gaffer tape. Tape anything that opens and use a clear wrap over as much as possible.
When this image was taken I was in a group of tourists being let by the Indians who owned the land and controlled the canyons. I paid extra for a "photo" tour, which meant we had a spot to ourselves for 30 seconds before the crowd surged through. Not my kind of photography. A nice couple was in my group and the wife was very pretty. I only had seconds and wasn't able to talk her into standing in the light for me. I can imagine the shot, can you? (Alfred, if you're listening, how about putting in a model? If not, I'll be stuck with a jaguar again!) I ran into that couple at Horseshoe Bend at sunrise and they were delightful.
