#Water #WaterFall #Landscape #Travel #RoadTrip #Photography #Darktable

A color portrait photo of a tall waterfall in the distance pouring over a solid gray granite rock face. There's a "V" shape in the rock face that the water fall is pouring from and down. It disappears behind more rock formations about two thirds of the way down. In the fore- and middle-grounds is a very still looking green river and trees of various sizes and types. A bit of a meadow opens up on the right middle-ground. The sky is bright blue with puffy white clouds.

"Halfway up The Nose of El Capitan is one of the wildest pendulums in existence"--it's called the King Swing! I shot this way back in 2015 with my Sony a6000 (a CMOS sensor camera) and a 70-200mm lens for a 35mm equivalent of 300mm. Still, it's cropped waaay in. The climber's goal is seen in the fourth frame, grabbing onto a crack in the rock face so they may continue their climb up The Nose and to the top.

A color landscape photo of a gray granite rock face with two climbers. One climber is spotting a second climber about thirty feet above them as they attempt to swing from the far right side of the image to the far left side of the image where they will grab hold of a crack in the rock face so they can continue their climb up the mountain. The climber attempting the swing from the right, and who is suspended from a rope above them, has a yellow-green shirt on, a small backpack, and is making a very large step to gain the momentum necessary to swing across the rock face to the target crack.

They are still about ten feet away, however.

Storm Front

Tornadoes in Iceland are very rare, but this strong curve of cloud connected with a distant column that seemed to be spinning.

The coffee colour of the water was due to glacial flour, and the deep ripples in the lake show how windy it was.

November: Kárahnjúkar Hydropower Plant in Fljótsdalshérað. Looking across Hálslón reservoir towards Sandfell island - which was a 678 metre mountain - and Vatnajökull glacier, south-eastern Iceland.

#SaturdayScenery #Iceland #Photography

A colour photo of a rippled reservoir of pale brown water. On the horizon are some low mountains and near the centre is a cloud structure that's funnel-shaped. The top of the column widens up to a cloud bank overhead, with small spirals of cloud below it. In the foreground is a long curve of angry-looking cloud, which sweeps from the top left of the shot in an arc down to the lower right, then is flattened just above the water surface. It looks threatening and gives a sense of foreboding.

Apocalypse picnic

Lacanau, France
People sit on the beach of Moutchic as smoke rises into the sky from a wildfire. Authorities in south-western France have ordered the total evacuation of the Cap Ferret peninsula on the Atlantic coast by land and sea as an ‘intense and highly unpredictable’ wildfire advances on one of the country’s best-known holiday spots.

A color landscape photo of a medium sized commercial fishing boat next to a dock. The boat's hull is light blue with "Noah's Ark" painted on the bow. It points toward the left. The cabin is painted white and there are two very tall outriggers. On the back is a large spool of net. There's a low uniform cloud (fog) cover and a seagull is flying toward the left in the top left corner.

Beaut beetle which I noticed flying and which then landed in the grass at my feet. Managed to get some reasonable shots as it moved quite slowly and let me get quite close before flying off. Seen at Glen Erin near Bowen, Qld. Canon R10 and RF100-400 lens. Hand held, natural light. ID-ed on iNaturalist as Rhipicera mystacina.

Columnar Jointing

Basalt is a peculiar type of rock. When it cools, it contracts and forms cracks to release the tensile energy.
This frequently produces quite regular hexagonal columns. These pillars have enormous vertical strength but tend to erode away in horizontal slices from the top down, forming steps.

This lovely little waterfall is hitting lots of them, all the way down.

Late November, Ófærugil in Breiðdalsvík, eastern Iceland.

#WaterfallWednesday #Iceland #Photography

A colour photo of a brown rock mountainside with a waterfall cascading down it. Above and to the right is the mountain peak, covered in snow and ice. A small amount of clear sky can be seen. The rock face is layered volcanic rock with scree slopes at intervals down its drop. The lower slopes are almost completely obscured by angled scree with vegetation. Near the centre of the shot is a white water horsetail falls which quickly encounters the rocks. Below that point is a series of about ten basalt steps, and the water drops over each of them, finally disappearing into the lower scree. Several smaller cascades are on either side.

#ThickTrunkTuesday #Urban #Photography

A scenic view of a canal framed by dense green foliage and majestic trees, under an overcast sky. A neatly manicured lawn of vibrant green grass stretches across the bottom portion of the frame. To the right, a thick, gnarled tree trunk with deep ridges in its bark rises, its heavy branches extending upward and across to create a natural arch above the center view. A wide canal flows horizontally through the middle of the scene, its surface slightly rippled under the diffuse light. In the distance, a small boat carrying passengers moves away from a metal pedestrian bridge that spans across the water.

A black and white landscape of heavy rain over the front range of tall mountains. The rain is pouring heavily in a cylindrical shape in one area of the mountains on the left. Lighter rain is seen on the right behind the area of dense heavy rain. Part of a lake is seen in the foreground on the right.It's a wedge shape coming in from the right and forming a point on the left. Form the point on the left a sliver on land extends across the image to the right. It has small spike like formations called tufa towers.

It took multiple days of rain for this waterfall to even flow this much and it was still raining and foggy when I visited.

Nitrogen Fringe

Green is the most common colour seen during auroral displays. It's produced when charged solar particles collide with oxygen molecules at altitudes of 100 to 300 km.

Sometimes the lower edge of an aurora will have a pink tinge, which is produced by ionised nitrogen at altitudes below 100 km.

On this November night, we saw it during an intense KP7 geomagnetic storm. Berufjörður in eastern Iceland.

#AuroraTuesday #NorthernLights #aurora #AuroraBorealis #Iceland #Photography

A colour photo of a night sky above a body of water. The shores of the fjord are lined on both sides by ranges of snow-capped mountains, lit by moonlight from behind the viewpoint. The foreground is out of shot except for an area of yellow grass heads. On the left shore is a lit building. The sky is full of stars including part of the Ursa Major asterism. From behind and above the mountains on the left and stretching across the photo are bands of green aurora. Some brighter bars are standing in the streams, and the colours are reflected in the water surface. On the left at the bottom of a strong arc of aurora is a pink edge below the green. This is the nitrogen fringe.

Geological Deep Time – new blog series available in English now!

It's about our relationship with Earth's deep time – illustrated with my own photographs from the Black Forest and the Vosges. The first 3 parts are now online.

#DeepTime #BlackForest #Vosges #LandscapePhotography #Photography #Nature #EarthSciences #Science #Fotografie #Schwarzwald #Vogesen #Palynology #Science #ScienceCommunication #Geology #NaturePhotography #ScienceForEveryone #Time

Night sky over a calm lake: Star trails are reflected symmetrically in the water. Because the camera was pointed directly north and the horizon with the tree line on the opposite shore was placed in the center, the star trails form two concavely curved circular arcs that are mirrored in the lake.

#photography #figurine #bettyboop #brooklyn #nyc

Photo of a Betty Boop figurine, one of several Betty Boops in a quirky window display in an apartment in Red Hook, Brooklyn. This one has been posed in a dancing position almost like a dap, with one arm extended and the other bent at the elbow, and with one leg raised. She’s wearing what looks like a 1920s flapper outfit: short black skirt, blue corset studded with pearls, silver bracelets, gold earrings, and a silver jewel-studded headband with a large blue-rimmed disc to one side. The figurine stands on a surface with a little step behind, all covered in green felt. The window glass reflects some cars parked at the curb and a storefront across the street.

Chaos, yesterday, on Valencia Street.

#photography

A street photo of a cluster of people... Two of whom appear to be waving their arms in the air, releasing a cloud of giant soap bubbles on a street corner. You can see the joyful miscreants, arms raised, through some of the bubbles they have released. Taken at a Sunday Streets event, where a dozen blocks of Valencia Street were closed to traffic and opened to vendors, entertainers, and people.
