Jökulsárgljúfur river canyon in Central-North Iceland is a magnificent example of the raw creatve powers of our planet. The entire canyon displays the most stunning structures of columnar basalt at an incredible expense of landscape. It was created by the joint work of Earth folding up an entiremountain range and the Jökulsá á Fjöllum river grinding its path through it. At one ramification of this canyon there is Dettifoss, supposedly Europe's most powerful waterfall and at another end is Selfoss, another superb example of Icelandic waterfalls.

When you're someplace beautiful and peaceful, a place that calms you and rejuvenates you at the same time, you tend to want to stay there, as long as possible.
That must have been how this lone boater on Diamond Lake was feeling at the time I took this photo.
I know I didn't want to leave.
It amazes me how the colors on Mt. Thielsen change depending on the lighting. Of course, that's Thielson on the left
When a crane comes into your life as a spirit teacher or totem, you are being asked to use your past as a source of strength in the present. They tend to appear in the lives of people who are well served by some degree of secrecy in their lives. The crane teaches about keeping your own counsel, protection of family, and balance in life above all else.💕
An encounter with a crane is a powerful experience. You are being asked to look inward, show fairness to all persons, and protect your wisdom while sharing it in appropriate ways. In short, you are being shown the way to balance and good fortune❣
Wonderful evening to you
When you put things in other perspective it can be fascinating what it brings. Can you figure it out?
When you're flying at an altitude of almost 4.000m you look down and all you can see are the peaks of majestic mountains floating on an ocean of clouds, you feel that you can only be at the top of the world (or on another planet!).
This shot was taken on an helicopter's flight over Mount Cook in New Zealand.

This shot is courtesy of my darling husband and I thought I'd post it just to show what happened only a moment after I'd taken the shot I posted just previously ;D So all credit should go to him together with all my love and a big "I'm so very proud of you!!!"
..you awaken to the sound of song birds .. when you get ready for thanksgiving or christmas
.. when the person you love chooses to be be right beside you.. when the kettle boils for your tea or coffee ..when you hear the sound of man's best friend running to greet you ..when you feed the ducks in the park and two of them stand on your shoes .. when your cat comes to you dragging a string ..when the rain begins .. and then when it ends .. the list of magical events can fill your day.. and mine.. lucky you .. lucky me
When the light is as poor as it was this evening, one type of photography that the conditions lend themselves to is long exposure photography like this. I spent a pleasant hour at Wyming Brook, Sheffield's own little mountain stream. There was no need for any filters when I took this image around the time the sun would have been setting. Wyming Brook is managed by the Wildlife Trust for Sheffield & Rotherham.
“When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking.”
Sherlock Holmes author, Arthur Conan Doyle, 1896
“Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of a bike ride.”
John F. Kennedy
«Quand les esprits sont bas, quand le jour semble sombre, quand le travail devient monotone, quand l'espoir ne vaut guère la peine, il suffit de monter à vélo et de faire un tour sur la route, sans penser à autre chose qu'à la promenade que vous faites. "
Auteur de Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle, 1896
«Rien n'est comparable au simple plaisir d'une balade à vélo.»

When you get older, plainer, saner
When you remember all the danger we came from
Burning like embers, falling, tender
Long before the days of no surrender
Years ago and well you know.....
When I saw the fleeting last light striking these gorgeous aspen-clad mountains along the Silver Thread, I really liked how those last rays amplified the warm colors of the autumn foliage. I went with a simple composition here to help isolate the special light and play off the contrast of the hillside still in shade, it sort of has made me think I need to explore lower-dynamic range/high-contrast compos more often.
When I saw this, I knew I had to capture it - the challenge was the wind. I stayed here no less than 15 minutes waiting and trying. Once I have something in my head, I can't let it go.....

When that day came, I didn’t allow other people to dictate how I should feel or act. I learned there was no shame in imperfection because history had shown being different had the power to change perspectives and eventually the world. This is when I realized that flaws had responsibility. This was the day that I learned I was truly BLESSED.”
― Shannon L. Alder
When the train left the station
It had Two Lights on Behind...
The blue light was my Baby
And the red light was my mind...

chai and I rest.
I will probably be off Flickr, except for my groups, the rest of this week and maybe the next.
it's been a hard year.
chai and I are getting very old together, Leon joins us.
and my wonderful kind brother is still in the ICU trying to get well. he is, I'm afraid losing his battle. I think he must be so tired now.
I'm hoping that next year will be a good one.
Happy New Year to you all!
winter nights above the Arctic Circle are often blessed with appearances of Aurora Borealis which seem to be competing with those bright nights us humans create to beat the darkness.
After the sunset, the sky gave a nice warm glow to contrast against these old fence posts.
The Great Salt Lake - GPS is not the exact spot of the shot.
No comments today – just enjoy :-)
The Aegidien Church in Hannover (Germany) build 14th century. In II World War 1943 destroyed in the Allied air raid.
When I opened this shot, I had an image in mind for it. Something different from the standard "Lone Tree in a Field" shot.
This wasn't it. But I Like it. Kind of a dream-like quality.
Somewhere on Hwy 25, south of Hollister, California.
A couple of Hoary Marmot (Marmota caligata) rest on the warm rocks of the slopes of Mt. Edith Cavell in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada.

When I took this photo there was a tour bus that had just arrived... Crowds of eager sightseers speaking in a foreign language were just about to destroy the peace and quietness that I was experiencing. I guess its only fair to share this beautiful spot with others.
