I find photographing flowers very uplifting.

When I was younger, doing creative work helped me cope. These days it feels much lighter. (I guess it worked?)

Beechwood, Oxfordshire 2023.

An old favourite from this day a couple of years ago.

The goblet: Lybrook badlands, NW New Mexico

#rockintuesday #eastcoastkin #blackandwhite #classicmono #wilderness #newmexico #hiking #badlands #landscapephotography #hoodoos

Central in the image is a long-stem goblet-shaped hoodoo, with a blockier, more jagged hoodoo on the right. A juniper bush takes up the left side of the photo. The sky above is devoid of clouds and appears darker at right than at left.

Thunder Bay Lookout. 100m above Lake Superior. Jaw dropping view 👌. A stunning scene I could not have seen without my good friend @markflinders.bsky.social #EastCoastKin #photography #CanadianPhotographer #canadianroadtrip #stunday

A simple scene from a remote black sand beach in Iceland.

A portrait-format, black and white photo of a pool of water on a black sand beach. The light catches the edge of the sand in a line that leads towards distant mountains reflected in the water.

Happy #MacroMonday everyone!
Here's my entry for today.
For this shot I was playing around with my macro lights and color toning when I saw this and loved how it looked with an almost "pearl" like paint job 😀 📸

Happy first day of autumn! In Yosemite Valley, the real season doesn't arrive until the black oaks catch fire in late fall. Until then, here's what I'm waiting for. 🍂 Swipe for a surprise at the end. ❄️

I love baseball, but this is the LAST place there should be a baseball stadium. What a stupid idea by MLB & I really hope the current regime in DC doesn’t even consider it.

I've been having some discussions about fogbows with others. This is my all time favorite fogbow over San Luis Obispo/Los Osos Valley in February 2024.

#ECK #Fogbow #Weather #Rainbow #LandscapePhotography #Photography #WestCoastzkin

Photo taken from Cerro San Luis mountain of a huge fogbow stretching across the wide area of Los Osos Valley and San Luis Obispo. The hills are green, the sky mostly blue except for the light fog and a few clouds. The bow starts in Los Osos and ends at a cloud sitting on top of Bishop Peak. To the far right is San Luis Obispo.

A fogbow is white because it's formed from light hitting the small water droplets of fog. Since the droplets are so small, the prism effect doesn't occur as it does in rainbows formed from larger rain drops. Fogbows appear when the sun is at a lower angle and the fog is dissipating.

On this day 12 and a half years ago I saw the coolest ever iceberg. Never seen one like it since.

Fellsfjara, Jökulsárlón, #Iceland

A six-foot (ish) high turquoise iceberg with a small friend on a black sand beach. Grey rainy day with some of the turquoise reflected in the blank sand, and long exposure smooth waves breaking.
