Icelandair is looking for a terrible photographer to prove that you can’t make ugly pictures of Iceland.
Let’s be honest, my pictures are a wreck.

Quarry Oasis
From the outflow of a now abandoned quarry mine, you can still see the remnants of rust staining caused by the structures that used to exist at this outflow decades ago while the mine was active. Small circles can be seen stained into the granite rock side . Now, a beautiful blue river instead.

Good day!
A Great Spangled Fritillary.
I have a long history of trying to take a butterfly’s picture at the moment it takes off.
This one did the same.
What was different was that it kept landing just ahead. So, I chased it down the trail.
Be everwell.

on our way back home from #emfcamp we also came by this lovely scene. A house (boat??) on the port-floor with the southern British white cliffs in the background. That was lovely #photography #landscapephotography

Getting excited about hiking up this mountain again later this week. Been waiting for a good weather window. Here is a view from my hike in May after a long scramble up a steep slab of rock in a ravine. The weather is predicted to clear later this week, allowing me to go up the other side of the ridge. Same mountain, different ravine, new fun. Can't wait! #MountainMonday #hiking #nature

July 20, 1983, 43 years ago today: The remainder of the trail over Peters Mountain was much like the last few miles of hiking yesterday. The rocks continued to be tolerable. There were but a few exceptionally bad stretches. Thus far, only about twenty-five percent of the trail since the Cumberland Valley has been particularly rocky.

A Conjuring Of Clouds
Yesterday's evening walk... It's been a great week for cloud spotting, but with dozens of storm cells & hail moving through the area all week...
(Also thinking about the connotation to wildfires raging in Canada... 😢)

Everyone on the West coast is familiar with Alders - they're the first trees that sprout new life when a forest is cleared or burned away. But what most haven't seen is an #OldGrowth Alder grove.
The trees pictured here are not the usual thin stick like tree's you're used too, but nearly meter diameter trees standing in a unique wetland area that's prevented the usual Large Leaf Maple and Cedar to move in over the decades.

Fairy Falls 2020
This is one of the first #Waterfall images I was proud of and still enjoy from my first years of shooting #Photography. I've returned here many times to take various different compositions over the years, but this first one still makes me happy.
The bright haze as light breaches the canopy above, the slight lens flare and the lens water spec I left in the frame. And of course the water tendrils of the waterfall.

It is #SeaWednesday, so here is a #seascape. I know, I know. I upload seascapes on most days anyway. But today at least it is legit.
For this one, I went to explore an unknown beach. The beauty of it was that it required a 45 min hike before the sunrise in the total darkness through the forest. Which meant no people around. Also, I saw deer footprints but no deer.

Fluidity of Stone
I assume it is an ancient petrified lava flow. Maybe partially lava flow, partially normal rocks, which were in the way. Maybe something totally different. But it does look like stone flowing down.

It's #MountainMonday lets celebrate #Yukon today!
On this multi-day backpacking trip we had maybe 6hrs of sunlight over a full week as the late summer storms hit us every day. This was one of the fleeting moments of brilliant light that pierced through the rain clouds. An absolutely breathtaking moment.

Good day!
It’s summer. The heat continues. Not much else to say about the weather this time of the year.
At least it’s tolerable. The days climb to +/- 90F (32.2C). In other words, hot, but the nights cool considerably. Even shade makes it comfortable.
Be everwell.

New Zealand forests are just built different. I spent hours in this place among chest-high ferns, just taking it all in, letting nature do its thing while I watched with a camera & a huge smile on my face.
Bonus points for no leeches - Aussie forests seem to want a blood sacrifice

I took this photo earlier this week on a private photo workshop with a guest from Switzerland. I tend to focus on details instead of the entire landscape, like for this cascade.

Purple? I’m a fan, which is a good thing this year because fleabane seems unusually abundant.
And then there was the oversized plant that was oval instead of round. It was impossible to miss, but difficult to photograph owing to the breeze.
Be everwell.

The Forgotten Gate
Basalt columns always add a sprinkle of magic to photos. Combined with the moody sunrise, this felt like a scene from a fantasy book to me.

As The Fires Settled (2022)
During wildfire season in 2022 #JasperNationalPark in #Alberta was partially burnt and ravaged. Shortly after the fires reduced again I was able to drive through the park and take some photographs of the changed landscape - it was heartbreaking. Of course, worse years were coming the following summers... This image is one of the hillsides, partially burnt away with the dead remnants a deep brown red.

Good day!
I think this is the day.
I’ve longed toyed with the idea of leaving home on foot, hiking the paved trail to Mount Sentinel, and climbing it.
It’s a small peak, the hike to it long, but flat. The endeavor as a whole, though, is ambitious. 🤔
Be everwell.

July 5, 1983, 43 years ago today: Late in the day, the AT began to skirt a huge complex called Big Meadows which sprawled across acres of ridge crest. A short climb on a side trail brought me to the summit of Black Rock (not to be confused with Blackrock, a peak I traversed further south in Shenandoah).
