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.

A wreck of a ship, rusty orange, beached. Moody skies. And the picture is beautiful, in my opinion.

      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.

      Vivid glacial turquoise water tumbles over a series of low, rust-stained rock ledges in this wide panoramic river landscape photograph, the long exposure softening the multiple cascades into smooth ribbons of white that flow into a brilliantly coloured pool of blue-green glacial water below. The surrounding boulders display a rich palette of warm rust, orange, grey, and sandy tones from mineral staining, their varied colours and textures providing a striking contrast to the luminous turquoise of the glacier-fed river.

        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.

        A butterfly with orange gold wings that are increasingly speckled with burnt orange spots towards the front, the burnt orange color solid on the wings around its body. It’s resting in the middle of the trail amidst stones and grass.

Dead center a small pink house sits on the same floor, it just does not seem to belong there. In the background tall white cliffs shape the landscape. The sky above is filled with dense clouds

                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!

                Photo of steep rock slab as viewed from top looking down.  The slab is the "trail" that leads up the mountain ravine.  Mountain ridges and peaks seen off in the distance.  Blue sky overhead.

This is Ammonoosuc Trail as I am about to get above the treeline.  I took this photo on May 22, 2026 during my hike in the Presidential Range, White Mountains, NH.

                  We are hiking westward along a path high up a mountainside through a forest of trees sprouting the bright emerald green leaves of springtime. The sky is cloudless, a bright pale blue of evening. Through the trees ahead we see the bright orange sun low in the sky, minutes from setting behind a ridgeline a few miles away.

                    🧵1/3
                    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.

                    We are looking out from atop a mountain over the treetops on the mountainside towards the valley hundreds of feet below. The valley is rather flat farm country, with several small villages visible. The rest is farm fields with a few patches of forest. Several long, low, flat-topped ridges rise along the far horizon. Glimpses of a major river winding down through those hills. It is a whitish summertime sky, mostly clear with a few small clouds. Distant views are hazy.

                      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... 😢)

                      B&W photo of a dramatic bright white cumulus cloud stack forming above a forest. The view is slightly uphill and the clouds appear as if they're directly touching the horizon behind a thin line of forest and a large field in the foreground, which is mostly in the shade of another cloud. Dark sky.

The falls are framed by a lush Pacific Northwest forest of towering conifers and moss-covered rocks, with soft diffused light filtering through the canopy above.

                                                It's lets celebrate 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.

                                                A dense foreground of low tundra shrubs in yellow and green autumn colour sweeps toward a dramatic wall of dark, jagged peaks under a turbulent storm sky, with shafts of light breaking through the cloud cover and illuminating sections of the rock faces and the valley between the summits. A massive sheer cliff face dominates the left side of the frame, while rain or mist visibly falls through the gap between the peaks in the middle distance.

                                                  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.

                                                  Pine trees rise from a slope lacking undergrowth, the grass green, but hinting brown. Beyond low, wooded ridges rises mountains that are silhouetted beneath a partly cloudy sky.

                                                    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.

The sun is a bright golden yellow blob starting to descend towards that horizon. From a fissured gray rock outcrop atop a mountain, we are looking out at a scene of mostly forest with a couple of clusters of buildings. A few tufts of tall grass grow through a few of the fissures in the rock. A forest of cedar and hardwoods rings the edge of the outcrop, but does not block the views. The flank of a nearby peak facing us has impressive rock cliffs. Beyond that is a narrow valley and several long, flattish-topped wooded ridges running along the horizon. A rounded knob to our left has a cluster of larger buildings on top.

                                                            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.

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.

The surrounding slopes tell a sobering story of wildfire recovery, with dark, fire-scarred hillsides in the foreground giving way to patches of surviving evergreen forest in the valley below, where a misty river winds through the shadows. This powerful fine art landscape photograph documents both the raw grandeur of the Canadian Rockies and the lasting mark of wildfire damage on the Jasper National Park landscape.

                                                                        I think this is the day.

                                                                        It’s a small peak, the hike to it long, but flat. The endeavor as a whole, though, is ambitious. 🤔

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).

Several branches of a nearby pine tree frame the top and right side of our view. A couple hundred feet down the slope, a short stretch of the two-lane park road Skyline Drive is visible winding around the mountain we are on. Far below the road, the mountainside ends in a narrow valley. Beyond that valley are rugged, wooded mountains. One of them has a number of open grassy stretches on the side facing us, possibly ski runs.
