Desert Chess by eyeofalens

Desert Chess

I nearly missed this opportunity, as I was half way up a dune behind where I’ve captured this from & then saw the sun making a small break through the clouds. So quickly running or scampering back down to here .As it all happen so fast this compostion with the playa could have been better, I should have been back a little further to get all of it in ( which I did afterwards ) but the best of the sun had gone, I have one or two more with a smaller sunstar, but think I prefer this one for now.
I was also torn between running back here or running up the dune, but think I wouldn’t have made it in time for the sun making it’s break.

You leave me cold by DanielHerr

I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself. (D. H. Lawrence)

Thanks to all my buddys, visitors , I think I did enough in 2015 at 500px. It is time for a longer break. Of course I will take some looks to the flow and to the work of others.

Going back to Iceland in February 2016 with new equipment, let`s see what will happen. Canon DSLR is history now and I am a happy Fujianer now. 😉

CU soon again here.

Dragons Tail by eyeofalens

Dragons Tail (Bandon Oregon)
I shared another image of this location some time ago, but wanted to present an image in a darker manner & more towards the blue light & dusk colors that were evident.

You really should look a this in a dark room or the lights dimmed : )

Winter Mourning by DanielHerr

Mourning is not forgetting… It is an undoing. Every minute tie has to be untied and something permanent and valuable recovered and assimilated from the dust. (Margery Allingham)

It`s a strange thing, I am not sure, how many scenes I processed during the last 11 months. Talking about this spot and scene. And everytime I am thinking it would be exactly the thing I want, I find something new. It seems to be that there are possibilities for the rest of my life. And I`ll be back there soon. Maybe. Or better not? Uploading tons of the same spot with some different views and settings. Not sure. What`s the difference here: Better contrats between warm and cold tones. A lot of pp work in the ice textures. Maybe that`s it. I am insanely in love with this waterfall. Like a mystical touch. Not sure but the saga about the betrayal on our older Gods touches me. Or just the conditions. Or both. I don`t know. Anyway, enjoy to drown in this appearance of a beautiful Icelandic winter day.

Curvy Ripples of Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes, DVNP by PatrickMarsonOng

Death Valley National Park, third location in our itinerary, a 200 miles drive down South of the amazing Mono Lake.
That sucky feeling where exhaustion and fatigue kicks in during the first few days of your trip and what made it worst, it’s accompanied by extreme coughs and colds! Ha bummer! The reason behind it? Our foolishness of spending 2 nights in Yosemite’s unheated tents!! !@#$%!!!! Lesson learned!

Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes, a definite must see place in DVNP. Dunes can get as high as 100 feet and it’s way bigger than what they seem! Lol! It’s constantly changing landscape that gets more interesting on different light conditions. Gets tricky tho as you need to hike in to the middle part of the dunes to escape those footprints.

Got an amazing tip from buddy Paul (owe you big time man!). Take it during sunrise, stop a few km before the parking area and walk into the dunes from there. Fewer footprints and the dunes are half the size so it’s easier. Well, it’s easy if your not sick at all :-((. I was already feeling dizzy halfway in and the continuous hike up and down on soft sand, took 3x the effort!! Not good, not good at all. So I told myself enough for that day since we still have the next day’s sunrise. Took a couple of shots on twilight and golden hour, then hiked back at a slower pace. Barely made it but happy with what I got. Woooot! For the love of this hobby! Hope you enjoy this image! Cheers!
