A treasure trove of ever changing graphical shapes, the dead trees in Namibia's Dead Vlei, against a backdrop of towering red dunes, never disappoint. I loved how the two trees seemed to embrace!

Thinking back to this peachy pink sunrise I caught in the Sierras back in October. One of my favorite spots in the world!

I also like the sea in its gentler moods.

A winter storm passes over the Great Salt Lake.

These strange rocks are formed from the activity of microbes living in this harsh and unforgiving saline lake. I'm always struck by how dead and desolate it looks, but still somehow teeming with life under the surface.

I spent an inordinate amount of time this year wandering thru piles of discarded cars, machinery, and industrial equipment - completely fascinated with their history and states of decay. Rusted metal, peeling and faded paint. Lots of beauty to be found in this cast away decay!

Lichenscape #1

Starting a series I have wanted to do for a long time based on my personal fascination with lichen as a biologist.

These lichen displayed interesting growth rings and I was taken with the subtle variation in colors and texture.

Ice formations four ways, from a trip to south-east #Iceland in Feb 2020 - a frozen puddle, frozen stones, icicles over a river, and the surface of an iceberg. #AwesomeFoursome

Four photos from the Utah badlands. The light and layers and textures here are just some awesome subjects to photograph.

Inspired by @claycarey.bsky.social’s beautiful shot of Bryce Canyon today, I thought I would share one of my own. Zoomed in like this, the scene almost becomes abstract.

The dramatic shores of South Georgia….appearing like a dream. This was from my first voyage there and it’s still my favourite place on earth.

The aerial flower of Kulu… This one is an aerial top down showing the dry salt lake of Kulu in Turkey and the fields surrounding the lake.
Can’t see them well because the viewpoint is too high, but there’s thousands flamingoes in the water.

Namibia's dreaded east wind turns its coastal dunes into an unnavigable inferno. We went straight in! Blowing sand stung our feet, pelted our equipment, filled our eyes. But time stood still: We were immersed in a world of astonishing beauty, gone too soon.⁠

Twists and Turns

Image captured on the beach last week. These patterns and colours just jumped out. However, I found it a bit challenging to be happy with the images I shot. This one was definitely my favourite of the little, though.

Still finding my feet here. Thanks for the lovely, warm welcome yesterday. So, a question. What’s the vibe in the photo-community here? Do we mostly just share photos (fine by me), or are we more discursive?
