Earlier tonight

Let's take a break from those cold winter posts to a pic along the prettiest road in NY on a summer night. Thev raid takes you past Cascade lake nestled between the beautiful Cascade mountains. It's a stunning drive and I just had to stop to capture the subtle sunset colors in the sky.

For #MountainMonday I have a rather old photograph I made way back in 2011. The lesson from this one was to wait until the sunset is absolutely, positively, finished before heading back to the car. This one may have involved some running. :)

A cat meditates on the nature of life. A curious owl wishes that he would talk and explain its enigmatic smile.

Hey everyone! I'm hoping to pool some community knowledge and get recommendations for more creatives to follow!

I'm interested in naturalistic (not AI) #landscape and #nature #photography, #storytelling, #conservation, and #blackandwhite. Drop your suggestions down below; if we build up a good list I'll pin this to my profile for people to view as a resource.

Shout out to @geoff_eg for the great idea.

"Raking Light", Drakensberg 2024. We had risen in the dark to make the short but steep walk up to this view point on our final morning of a 75km traverse of the berg, and were greeted to views with such depth and light of a wonderful quality. The winds were strong but nothing could distract from the immensity of our surroundings.

Eemnes (2016)

When I was taking this photo a guy passed and said 'You missed it!' (referring to a point perceived as the best of the bluebells) to which I smiled and said 'Did I?'.

The ride home

Another Illustration inspired by my recent trip to Iceland. This one's of the famous black sand beach, Reynisfjara near Vik. Really surreal looking place.

Happy winter solstice.

Here's four on medium format from summer solstice.

Foggy Wildflowers

The incredible (and often overlooked) mountain landscape of the Isle of Harris, Scotland. This place is rugged and unvisited, partly because the beaches of the island steal away attention and partly because of its unforgiving character. Many of these areas are fairly unexplored in terms of photography and I'm excited to spend a bit more time doing just that over the coming years.
