The sand dunes on the Cape are a never ending and ever changing source of inspiration for me. This was taken near sunset close to the Herring Cove Beach.

Taken on the Kona side of the Big Island, Hawaii, the low sun highlights the dramatic clouds in this unusual scene. Highly filtered post-processing lends an air of surreal beauty.

The colorful and rugged Na Pali Coast Cliffs on the west side of the Island of Kauai, Hawaii, taken from a Helicopter at an altitude of about 3000ft. Kauai is the northern most Island in the Hawaiian Island chain. Its famous “Red Dirt” is due to the concentrated red iron oxide in the soil and rocks. A topless seacave can be seen in the lower left side. It is possible to go into this cave with a small boat from a natural entrance tunnel in the cliffs.

About this Image: Taken on the concourse along the River Thames on an evening that was “wet” but clear. The shining walkway is illuminated by the streetlamps while the trees shine with the light of the blue “stars” in the branches. The three persons are out on a lovely eveing in London for a stroll. Camera exposure time allows them to keep moving as they are slightly “motion blurred” giving a sense of immediacy and movment in the image.

In between rain storms, the lush green west bank of this waterfall gets soaked with extra volume in Zigzag River.

This is the where the current reflects off objects in the stream, and creates the dance of light and sound. / And there, / just below the surface, / a fallen leaf waits patiently, / taking a little respite from its journey down stream. Soon enough, the water will shift again, and an upward current will likely bring it back to the surface. / Soon enough – but until then – it is art. / We call it art, / nay, / together, / we make it art. / But of course, first we must notice … “The moment one gives close attention to any thing, / even a blade of grass / it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself.”—Henry Miller And what of it? / Well, listen closely. / Can you hear the notes … / the melody? / I can. / So soothing, / so moving. / As you lean back and soak up the afternoon sun, / smell the pine bows, / feel the damp soil with your hands, and smile. / Something connects. / Nothing else to do. / Nowhere else to be. / This is where you belong, right here, right now. / What of it, indeed … It’s waiting for you, / just below the surface of our work-a-day world. / There, / just below the surface, / where you are protected from the current that is trying to sweep you along, / to jostle for your attention, / to whisk your day away, / in the never ending lists, and the stuff that must be done. Listen again, more closely. / Isn’t that your song? / Don’t you recognize it? / It is in us all, somewhere deep within … / “To live content with small means; / to seek elegance rather than luxury, / and refinement rather than fashion; / to be worthy, not respectable, / and wealthy, not, rich; / to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, / with open heart; / to study hard; / to think quietly, / act frankly, / talk gently, / await occasions, / hurry never; / in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common ~ This is my symphony.” ~ by William Henry Channing

The Moose (Alces alces) is the world’s largest member of the deer family. The Alaska race (Alces alces gigas) is the largest of all the moose. Always remember, never come between a cow and her calf. Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Shooting Date 28 October 2006 / Tv 1/125 Av 8.0 ISO 400 / Focal Length 55.0 mm Near North Pole Alaska I am certain she weighed at least 1000 pounds. Her twin calves were browsing with her, the female calf is just out of the frame nearby. See more of this beautiful animal in my collection: / Moose Dream Shadows It is amazing how graceful and quiet they are. / The Alaska race (Alces alces gigas) is the largest of all the moose, occurring in suitable habitat from the Stikine River in the Panhandle to the Colville River on the Arctic Slope. Most abundant in recently burned areas containing willow, fireweed and birch shrubs, on timberline plateaus, and along the major rivers of Southcentral and Interior Alaska. Their colour ranges from golden brown to almost black, depending upon the season and the age of the animal. Newborn calves weigh 28 to 35 lbs and within five months grow to over 300 lbs. Males in prime condition weigh from 1,200 to 1,600 lbs or more. Cows weigh 800 to 1,300 lbs or more. Only the bulls have antlers. Calves are born any time from mid- May to early June. Gestation is about 230 days. Cows give birth to twins 15 to 75 percent of the time, and triplets may occur. In winter, Moose consume large quantities of willow, birch, and aspen twigs. Deep crusted snow can lead to malnutrition and death of hundreds of Moose and decrease survival of the calves. Information source: Wikipedia

From my collection: / Emerquinox / Spirit of Alaska ~ Alaska North Star Winter Scenics Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Emerquinox is a word I coined when I combined the words Emerge and Equinox The Great White North I took this photo in deep winter 20 January 2008 midway between Fairbanks and North Pole Alaska. In summer this area is a peat bog. It is actually quite deep as in late Autumn I have watched a cow Moose submerge herself and swim in the pond at sunset. Near the Chena River, in winter it is used as a ‘highway’ for mushers and their dogsleds and also for snowmachines. I removed the natural blue hue with a white balance adjustment. Then I desaturated selective colours pulling down the yellow, magenta, and green. With a slight adjustment on contrast, I then used the lasso tool and selected only the sky to remove the digital noise as I had my ISO setting too high at 400 and, along with the cold, this created too much noise with the original photograph. The temperature on this day had actually warmed to about 10F. Within a week it plunged again to appx minus -47F. Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi / Shooting Date/Time 20 January 2008 16:41:50 / Tv( Shutter Speed ) 1/125 / Av( Aperture Value ) 5.6 “Permafrost, perennially frozen ground that maintains a temperature at or below the freezing point for at least two years. Vast tracts of permafrost lie across Alaska, Canada, northern Europe and Asia, and Antarctica. About 80 percent of Alaska’s land area contains permafrost. In the Interior region, vegetation must adapt itself to short, warm summers and long, cold winters. Trees grow slowly, and their root systems must be shallow because they cannot penetrate the permafrost. In Alaska, permafrost occurs as a continuous sheet north of the Brooks Range, extending from a few inches below the surface down to as deep as 1,000 feet. As one goes south, however, it gets progressively thinner, the melted layer on top gets thicker, and holes or gaps begin to appear in it. Permafrost may extend to depths of more than 500 m (1,600 ft). Clues to the age of the permafrost of the Northern Hemisphere lie in the numerous discoveries of mammoth remains embedded in frozen ground. Mammoths became extinct about 10,000 to 15,000 years ago, coincident with the end of the most recent ice age. Some scientists, however, think that much of today’s permafrost may have formed as long as 120,000 years ago.” Source: Wikipedia “As with all great journeys, the vision is the beginning / Dreams of all the possibilities, / of the many paths widening to the future / Of all the great and extraordinary things our mind can imagine / The persistence of our own opportunistic souls reaching for what is yet unabridged / An unconscious decision to struggle forward yet again / And without even knowing of our focus / We start forward / All of our past, our teachings, our experience are brought into play / The trials of our past giving us the tools that we need to find our way / Our way to fulfilling this newest quest for our dream / No obstacle too great, / no argument rebuff / The journey begun, we will not allow defeat / We can only see the unfolding, as it will be / And as always, / the goal is reached / And there, / sated in the peace of our newly added thread in the web of our life / We rest / And the vision comes again” / ~ by Steve ‘Easy’ Whitacre 2005
