A massive old oak tree with a thick layer of weathered bark anchors the scene to my right, its fallen shed leaves, tinged with the warm hues of fall, lie on the ground at the base of this beautiful living remnant of times gone by.
Based on... many random photos I think and finally it not looks like any particular one :blobcatjoy:
I wanted to experiment with water and reflections.
For #WaterfallWednesday I have this view of Narada Falls in Mount Rainier National Park (Washington State, USA). Wider views of the falls tend to look a bit the same, so I used a longer lens and picked out some details.
Imagine a world without abundant plant life, without sunlight and rain, the warmth of light, and the normalcy of one season following upon the heels of another.
It would be a drab, sere, cold place, the kind you see on dystopian science fiction movies, a hostile environment where humans and animals would not want to, or possibly could not, live.
In the back of our minds, deep in our hearts, we all have a place that we think perfect, a sort of paradise where it would be delightful to live.
For me, one of those places is the country -- far out in the country and surrounded by meadows and trees, with plenty of space for animals to graze and children to play.
The nights darkness slowly transforms to the red hues of early morning. The trees along the shore are silhouetted in the thick fog and the distinctive outline as a catamaran sailboat rests gently on still water shrouded in mist.
Attended a photography workshop up in Crescent City, CA this past weekend with one of the spots being at Damnation Creek Trail. It is well known for fog and blooming rhododendron flowers (when in bloom.) During the workshop, we didn't have much luck with foggy mornings but on my drive home it was foggy so I stopped to get some pictures.
