A massive storm gets ready to unleash its awesome power over an outback road in Western Australia.
Was about to shoot some landscapes of the desert incorporating this wall into the scene when these 3 boys appeared.

I used my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT with EOS Lens 18 -55. / BEST VIEWED LARGE. TAKEN AS IS. I loved taking these shots at Yellowstone National Park, Wy., because the colors are amazing there, and the volcanic activity etc is also amazing…the park is not to far from where I live and I figure all the volcanic activity in my own mountains could even be related to Yellowstone. The earth is very much alive in this whole area. I mean several States, and if you hike you will find even more that you would never see any other way. Mother nature is full of peace and rage both, and this is a perfect example of that to me.
No alterations in this shot. Sunset over Lancashire from Rivington
A view of Nachal Tzin in the Negev desert (the Tzin river, canyon wadi) as seen from David Ben Gurion tomb in kibbutz Sde Boker, Israel. / / Nahal Zin is 75 miles (120 km) long and drains 600 sq. miles (1550 sq. km). It is the largest wadi that begins in the Negev. The Nahal Zin was created by reverse erosion as the great height difference between the Negev Highlands and the Jordan Rift caused the underlayers to erode during the rainy season, resulting in the collapse of the harder strata of rock above. The landscape is mostly Eocene limestone, consisting of some brown-black layers of low-grade flint. The flint slows down the erosion of the limestone. / The Negev occupies 60 % of the land surface area of Israel and yet it is the least densely populated. Delineated as being south of Be’er Sheva and Dimona, it is mainly a stone and sand desert with sparse vegetation. However, following periods of heavy rain during the winter and early spring, the desert is transformed into a colourful carpet of flowers. / Sde Boker (Hebrew: שדה בוקר, lit. Cowboy’s Field, sometimes spelt Sede Boqer or some combination of the two) is an Israeli kibbutz in the Negev, in the South District of Israel, founded on May 15, 1952. It is part of the Ramat HaNegev Regional Council. / From 1963, it was the dwelling place of the first Prime Minister of Israel David Ben Gurion until his passing in 1973, when he was buried nearby at Midreshet Ben-Gurion aside his wife Paula Ben-Gurion. Ben-Gurion had a vision of cultivating the arid Negev desert and building up its surrounding towns such as Yeruham and Dimona. He believed that eventually the Negev would be home to many Jews who would move to Israel after having made aliyah, and he felt that Sde-Boker was a trailblazer and example for what should follow. / Sede Boqer is perhaps one of the most beautiful landscapes in the Negev. This oasis is situated on the loess plain overlooking the deep gorge of Nahal Zin. The area is especially good for raptors such as breeding Long-legged Buzzard, Bonelli’s Eagle, Lanner and Barbary Falcons. A feeding station at the eastern edge of the Zin Plain is maintained by the INRP A with the purpose of supplying supplementary food to the breeding Griffon and Egyptian Vultures and sometimes in winter, Black Vulture. On the ledges of towering cliffs, Sooty Falcons breed from mid-May until early October. The gorges also host breeding Desert Eagle Owl and Alpine Swifts, and in some winters, Sinai Rosefinch and Wallcreeper. / Image is an HDR process from a single RAW file *

There has been one sale of this image. In November 2008 this image was featured in the group, Buyers R Us. In February 2009, this image placed third in the U.S. Parks Wildlife Shots challenge hosted by the AMERICA’s National Parks and WILDLIFE Habitat group. A thousand Yellowstone wonders are calling, ‘Look up and down and round about you! John Muir – 1898 The temperatures were in the single digits on this cold, snowy January morning at West Thumb Geyser Basin, which is one of the smallest geyser basins in Yellowstone. A incredibly scenic area along the shore of Yellowstone Lake, West Thumb only has a small amount of geyser activity. However, the basin more than makes up for it with its diversity. Despite its small size, it has paint/mud pots, hot springs, pools, lake shore geysers, and fumaroles. Fumaroles are small openings that release steam and other gasses. You can see in the foreground the muddy, soupy waters inundating the paint pots. The white area beyond the tree line in the right hand side of the photograph is Yellowstone Lake. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Please don’t copy or download this image.

Sunshine over John Smith’s Bay, Bermuda.
Sedona, Arizona, USA 2008 Was so focussed on getting to this river before sunset , such a rushed hiked that I lost my bearings on the return trip and nearly spent the night out here !! Was rather daunting but incredibly beautiful nonetheless. I now make sure I have plenty of time either way, perhaps I should invest in a compass and a star chart LOL
Was taken in the Natural Bridge Caverns Va, in November 2008. / Deepest Caverns In The East / The Caverns were opened to the public in 1977. It was originally explored by Col. Henry Parsons in 1889-91, but the natural entrance was too steep for general use. When the modern development took place, some tools, a ladder, a lantern, and rope were found where they had been left in 1891.

I wanted to have a bit of fun with the Entish Tree Image. I so love it. So I opened up the edit software and had a bit of fun.. You really have to look at it close up to see the effects.. I think it will make a nice card or Abstract Realism art. The fine details of the tree limbs are gone but I like the silhouette and colors.. I will send this up for those whom like the view.. See Large View Chuck. It Looks Pretty Cool
