How I see the World.

(Read the alt text for what I mean.)

#Photography #Photo #Picture #Pic #NaturePhotography #Autumn #World #Light #Hope #ThereIsHope

An autumn landscape at sunset. Bare trees dominate the upper frame, their branches reaching across a golden sky. Below, vibrant green grass covers the ground, and a small stream winds through the scene, reflecting the warm light. A large tree trunk stands on the right, scarred where a branch was cut, but still alive with orange leaves clinging to its younger branches.
This is how I see the world. The bare trees, what we notice most, seem dead, like today's civilization: governed by hatred, coldness, selfishness, rampant individualism. But at the base, the grass is green. Because at the base, there are wonderful people who often go unnoticed, yet they are the most important part of everything. The stream connects it all, starting from that living green, reflecting the golden light, flowing toward the horizon beneath the bare branches. Perhaps relationships, perhaps time, perhaps simply the reminder that everything flows and transforms. And beyond: light and color, because life can give us far more than these bare "trees" show right now. And the trees themselves, if not rotten inside, will bloom again.
I intentionally increased the saturation to create this contrast: to flood the scene with light.

Silent Sunday

#SilentSunday #Photography #Photo #NaturePhotography #Nature #Trees #Autumn

A tranquil autumnal scene by the water. Rich with contrasting colors and textures, dominated by the vibrant foliage of the changing season. On the left, branches with striking yellow leaves frame the edge of the dark, reflective water at the edge of a lake, while a dense, intensely red bush bursts with color on the right, creating a vivid juxtaposition against the muted greens and grays of the rest of the landscape.

A thick stretch of tall reeds or grasses growing along the water's edge, creating a lush, somewhat wild texture. These plants are a deep, healthy green, punctuated by hints of brown and gold as they begin to transition into their autumn phase. The background is softened by a layer of light mist, lending a serene quality to the scene. Through the haze, you can faintly make out a row of residential houses nestled among trees, suggesting a peaceful blend of nature and suburban life.

This is a portrait format photo of an autumn scene taken on a hiking trail that runs through a forest. A mature tree is on both sides of the hiking trail at this point, each with many colourful leaves still intact. The colours are yellow and orange which create a real Fall vibe for the photo. The hiking trail is covered with fallen leaves which also adds to the colour pallet. It is a bright sunny day, so some shadows can also be seen in the frame.

This is an Autumn season photo of a very mature deciduous tree alongside a hiking trail. Many leaves have already fallen to the ground and the leaves remaining on the tree are a mix of green, yellow and orange. It was taken on a fair weather day with traces of the blue sky visible through the branches. The sunshine creates an illuminating effect on the leaves in the upper branches. The tree looks somewhat majestic and strong in terms of it's presence in the forest.

I hiked a large sand dune for the first time yesterday. What a unique experience! Quite a slog, hiking straight up the side to reach the ridge. A surprise with the challenge of walking the ridge— didn’t expect it to be so sharp. The drop-off on each side looked steeper/scarier than it actually was. A fun time! Bruneau Sand Dunes (Idaho)— 470 feet (143m) base-to-peak elevation change. #MountainMonday #hiking #nature

Garden Of the Gods

The Garden Of The Gods is a beautiful geological area just outside of Colorado Springs, Colorado.
The Garden is a public park open and free to the public. This area shows geological evidence that this area has been visited as far back as 1300 years BC. There is also known connections with at least eight Native American tribes.

Garden Of The Gods

Imagine standing before a majestic cathedral of stone, where towering red rock formations rise dramatically from the earth like ancient sentinels. These jagged spires and monoliths, sculpted by time and wind, glow with warm hues of rust, amber, and sunlit ochre. The sky above is a vast canvas of soft blue, brushed with wisps of white clouds that drift lazily across the horizon.
The scene feels expansive and reverent—like nature’s own amphitheater. In the distance, the rugged silhouette of the Rocky Mountains adds depth and grandeur, their cool tones contrasting with the fiery rocks below. The land is dotted with hardy vegetation—scrubby pines and desert brush—that cling to the rocky soil, adding texture and life to the arid terrain.

Something about today reminded me of this fabulous pink-tinged rainbow over Yosemite.

I’ve taken many shots like this, every year, with the same subject and in the same place. Yet I’m still fascinated by this perspective.
This one is from just a few hours ago: the sunset and the "fragile" flower. A breath of wind will be enough, and the flower, as we see it, will vanish. Yet it will be everywhere, spreading itself across the world.
There it stands, swaying in the gentle air and the soft warmth of a November sunset, defying whatever happens around it.

No yesterday, no tomorrow - just here, now, basking in this poetic light.

And life, silently, flows on.

Even an old stone drainage channel can look photogenic in the right setting. Discovered on a walk where the edge of the forest meets farmland.

Mushrooms climb the bark,
steps of time on leaning wood—
still pond mirrors sky.

#Photography #NaturePhotography #NatureArt #Fungi

A tree leaning over a pond with several shelf fungi growing in a vertical line up its trunk, resembling natural steps. Sunlight filters through the green foliage, casting reflections on the still water below. The scene feels peaceful and slightly whimsical, surrounded by lush forest vegetation.

“…But green's the color of Spring.
And green can be cool and friendly-like.
And green can be big like an ocean, or important like a mountain, or tall like a tree.
When green is all there is to be.
It could make you wonder why, but why wonder why?
Wonder, I am green and it'll do fine, it's beautiful!
And I think it's what I want to be.”
- Kermit (lyrics from It’s Not Easy Being Green)

Part of the filmstrip I run in my head when grief feels like too much.

This was taken in December 2021, overlooking Thunder Ridge from the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia. The clouds moving through the mountains and that quiet, watchful tree have stayed with me ever since. Some images don’t just live in an album — they become places the mind returns to for comfort.
