Here's a bonus image, one that I seriously considered converting to to be part of the same series. I decided in the end that the primary colours spread so perfectly between our tents makes this image much stronger.

If you want to see more from this epic trip you can see the full set of images here: photography.ggiebelhaus.ca/tag

A night photograph of three illuminated tents glowing in green, amber, and blue-white on a high mountain plateau, with a layer of mist partially obscuring the base of a dark, flat-topped rock formation silhouetted against a star-scattered sky. The tents sit half-engulfed in the drifting cloud layer, their warm inner light diffusing softly into the surrounding mist. The combination of the glowing camp, the floating rock buttress, and the star-filled sky above creates a magical, otherworldly atmosphere on the Drakensberg plateau.

    It's worth posting this image as well - taken the previous day and looking North instead of South, this image spurred the goal of taking a series of 1:1 images across my trek through the range.

    Dark cliff faces and jagged rock spires emerge from a thick, billowing sea of cloud that fills the valley between the escarpment walls, with two small birds visible as tiny specks in the pale sky above. The black and white treatment and layered tones of dark rock against luminous white cloud give the image a graphic, almost ink-wash quality reminiscent of classical East Asian landscape painting.

      Ocean In The Sky (2024)
      Named for the wave like cloud inversion below, I took this image early morning, shortly after golden hour and before the heat of the day burned off the clouds below.

      I was motivated to capture a 1:1 ratio image of this location as part of a photographic challenge I set for myself in the region.

      Dark, needle-like basalt pinnacles rise from the foreground escarpment edge in sharp silhouette, framing a view across a vast sea of cloud that fills the valleys between multiple receding mountain ridges and serrated peaks stretching to the horizon. The black and white treatment deepens the contrast between the near-black foreground spires and the luminous white ocean of cloud below, with successive ridgelines fading progressively lighter into the pale background sky.

        Saturday evening on Wellacre Country Park.



        A landscape photo taken in the evening. A buttercup-strewn field dotted with trees glows in the soft light as the sun shines through thin clouds. We're standing on the path at the extreme right of the picture, by the field. To our left there is a railway embankment which can't be seen for the willow trees thickly lining its base. The trees and the path create a thick, dark, rectangular band on the left margin. The field stretches across the rest of the picture. It is bright green highlighted golden yellow as the flowers of buttercups rise above the grass. There seems more buttercup than grass. Small trees dot the horizon and there is a dark green line of woodland on the horizon to the right. The sky is misty greys and pale blues and creamy whites, layers and bands of overlapping thin clouds. Just above the tallest of the trees on the horizon, just left of centre, the sun is a white circle in the sky.

          Beyond a rocky mound covered in moss and lichen is a field of golden grass all glistening in the rain, conifers surrounding it, the farthest difficult to see in the haze, the sky gray.

            Good day!

            Two days of thunderstorms, and we’re scheduled for a third. I’ve never seen this happen here. Thunderstorms are rare.

            We’ve also been astonishingly above our normal high. This month has been a complete weather departure for us. It’s crazy.

              Good day!

              I normally only have the slightest sinus issues here in the spring. Over a decade is my proof.

              Something has changed.

              For a week or so, I was better, but now it’s back again with a vengeance. Thankfully, it still isn’t as bad as it was on the coast.

                The incredible in a way you're probably not used to seeing them - frozen, frosted over, and with the thick icicles hanging off the rocks.

                If you look closely you'll see the large gulls flying around the turbulent waters, dwarfed by the scale of the nearby rocks.

                A snow and ice-covered rocky outcrop stands at the base of a massive waterfall, draped in dramatic icicles against a misty white backdrop. The long exposure renders the cascading water as silky smooth curtains of motion, contrasting with the jagged, frozen textures of the rocks below. A serene yet powerful winter waterfall scene captured in monochromatic tones of white, grey, and pale teal.

                  Today was a special day. As you can see, there's concrete in these photos. This is "The Jungle" as they say, full of apes, not squirrels, and this Jungle in particular, is downtown Statesville, NC.

                  Why Statesville, plaid-clad camera-person?
                  Because Statesville is the new location of my cousin's tattoo parlor, that just opened, and I got to photograph it!

                  It's called "The Parlor", go on, go there, he's awesome.

                  While those photos aren't public, Statesville very much is, so here's some photos I took yesterday of downtown.

                  As usual, my goal isn't as much to document where I am like I'm trying to prove it exists to a speculative audience, I just took a few shots while I was there.

                    I took it while balanced on the edge of a cliff, capturing what was a gloomy canyon scene before we were blown away as the sun cut through the overcast skies. Illuminating the mist and the damp foliage below.

                    A narrow stream winds deep into a misty old-growth rainforest canyon, framed by thick moss-covered branches and towering conifers with soft light filtering through the fog above. The lush green moss, dramatic depth, and ethereal mist create a deeply immersive and enchanting Pacific Northwest forest scene.

                      And so, The Firekeeper was just out there, in Tanglewood, as he tends to be, taking photos of trees and plants and the like, walking about as he does...

                      This is a very manecured place. It's part golf course to keep the Tesla and Corvette drivers busy and off of the highways during the day, but if you walk out far enough, you can still find some rustic rather untouched wilderness, my kinda stuff.

                      I did end up walking out of the woods and finding Mallard lake right in front of me and beyond it, part of the golf course itself, but it was a pleasant surprise to walk out of the woods after half a mile of walking and "BEHOLD... LAKE".

                      Oh yeah and happy first post on the new instance. Holla back y'all, my ego needs it.

                        This is a bright, sunny daytime photograph of a rugged coastal landscape overlooking the ocean. In the foreground, there is dark, rocky volcanic terrain with uneven black and reddish-brown stones and sparse dry vegetation. A light-colored dirt road winds through the lower left part of the scene. Standing tall against the horizon are four structures: on the far left, a very tall, slender red-and-white lattice communication tower rises high into the clear blue sky. To its right, three modern white wind turbines with three blades each are positioned along the cliff edge, with the largest one in the center being the most prominent, while two smaller ones stand further to the right. In the background, a vast, deep blue ocean stretches all the way to the horizon under a bright blue sky with just a few light clouds. The overall scene feels open, windy, and remote, with strong natural daylight creating sharp contrasts between the dark rocky ground, the white turbines, and the vivid blue sea and sky.
