Last Saturday’s hike in the Brandenberg Alps. Blue gentians beside the trail.

    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.

                        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.

                                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.

                                              I took this photo at sunset on Ko Samet in Thailand. we were lounging on a jetty and I had my lens filter on. the photo shows the ocean with the setting sun just above the water, casting a line of bright reflection in the water. the lens filter results in a round arc lens flare above the sun

                                                I mean, check out the Mohawk.

                                                A black and bronze bird, but mostly black. It's eye is scarlet red and from it's cheek is a splayed of golden feathers. Did I mention the black Mohawk? It is a water bird swimm8ng on a murky lake.

                                                    This is one of my favourite images I've ever taken - a pivotal moment in how I saw my images, and a moment that marked a moment of progression in my journey in the of

                                                    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.


                                                      Some of the gardens around the Arboretum. Most of the flowers have come and gone... gotta be faster about these things, still mighty green tho.
