From my trip in Dec '17, I found one I hadn't worked or shared. In the Alabama Hills, near Lone Pine, CA, almost a full 1/2 hour before the sun's first light got to Mt Whitney. Illumination compliments of the brightening sky in the east, behind me. No clouds, alas, but my favorite light of any...

Back on April 29, the sunset wasn't going to develop, so I looked northward along the east levee at Pickthorne Lake. Always check your 6, or in this case at least, your 3. 🤪 You might find some nice light.....

Yesterday's post of a crop of pre-dawn Horseshoe Bend, converted to B&W. From Dec '14.

Stupid back kept me laid up at home today from work. This afternoon I managed to creak my way to my computer for a little photo work. Another small scene cropped out of a wider view. Dec '14, Horseshoe Bend, AZ. Before dawn on a solid overcast morning so it was quite a blue mood.

This is another small scene pulled (cropped) from a wider image from Dec '13. A view to the southwest from Zabriske Point. In the late afternoon, so shadows are already covering over half the hill. I really love the geology and terrain of Death Valley. I need to remember to look for these...

A morning where we wished for more of a sunrise show. Instead we were met with sleet blowing sideways! And this sky, from on top of a small rocky hill overlooking Little Gruinard Bay, Wester Ross, Highlands of Scotland. With Martin McLeish and Carlo Didier.

Found another from the same day (Nov '08) as my previous posting. Along the A82 approaching Glencoe, in the Highlands of Scotland. These gloomy skies graced much of our trip. — with Martin McLeish and Carlo Didier.

and a little re-work. From Nov '08, The Three Sisters, Glencoe, The Highlands of Scotland. — with Martin McLeish and Carlo Didier.

Re-visited an exercise in which I looked for a smaller scene in a full image. From Oct '19, this is the Dechambeau Hotel and the I.O.O.F. Hall in the state park and mining ghost town of Bodie, CA. As I looked at the full image (I'll share in the comments) I was drawn to the brick/wood joint of...

Here's another from last October's trip. This time with what I call a bare naked sky. It made for tough lighting conditions on this morning but I came up with this. It's one of the playgrounds of our youth, so I wanted to share. Devil's Postpile National Monument. Back in the late '50s and '60s...

Still combing through past trips to find something to do. Found this from last October as I worked my way home. Some of the ruins of Rhyolite, NV with a really cool sky nearing sundown.

At the southern tip of the San Joaquin Valley. A view from Wind Wolves Preserve toward Bear Mountain. Lovely morning in Jan '19.

An old one from Loch Etive in the Highlands of Scotland. Nov '08 with Martin McLeish and Carlo Didier.

to Jan '19 for this one not previously shared. While in Bakersfield visiting Mom, one morning very early I drove up Kern Canyon to see what I could see. There was still some lovely fall color left in the sycamore trees. Looking for the next composition before the dawn, a fairly heavy fog...

I found another image to work up in my archives. Dawn from Dead Horse Point near Moab. Craig was great in showing me this spot on my first trip to the area! The viewing platform is visible in the upper left and the squarish butte in the central bg is called The United Nations Tablet. Quite a...

Barnacles and mussels and snails, oh my! From a beach on the OlyPen back in Aug '09.

Still sheltering at home so still mining the archives for something to play with. This is a severe crop, more than half the original, and perhaps an odd composition. But I liked the way the bush was lit up in front of the eroded hill side which was still in shade. Burning bush in the badlands...

Finishing going through my Sep '14 trip to CO and I found one I hadn't shared. Bright afternoon, with a gorgeous sky, in the Comanche National Grassland, near Campo, CO. B&W, heavy coarse grain, hint of sepia and a little neg vignette added hoping for a vintage feel. Like going back to the dust...

Still perusing the Sep '14 trip to CO. Randy and I took one afternoon to run up to the Bear Lake Trail Head. As we approached the car park, the sky was darkening. It ended up raining and sleeting on us on the trail. This is from just above the road, getting the brilliant fall display in front of...

Fixer-upper, southern Kansas prairie. From a road trip through the area in Sep '14. Heavy coarse grain and some sepia added for a vintage feel, I hope.
