Lenticular Cloud at Sunset


"A Lenticular Cloud formation has drifted off the top of Mt. Shasta, CA. The New-Agers in town like to think it is a Lemurian space ship visiting the 'inhabitants' of the city of Telos that exists within the mountain. It helps if one 'hears' the tune from Twilight Zone while viewing this weather phenomenon". Taken by Terry

Snowdon


One of my favorite locations in the UK "North Wales" and only 80 Miles from my home Village. Snowdonia is the highest mountain in Wales 3,560 ft (1,085 m) and the second highest in the UK. On this day I was accompanied by my family, our goal for the day was to head up to the top via train but unfortunately the train service was fully booked for the next 4 days, maybe next time. Instead we decided to walk part of the Miners Track up untill lake Llyn Llydaw our final destination - beyond this point carrying a 3 year can be a bit of a challenge.

From the lower end of Llyn Llydaw I was able to capture some amazing shot's of both the lake and the peak of Snowdon. For this particular shot I waited for the sun to disappear and partly reappear from behind a cloud just enough to remove direct sun light from snowdon peak "see note" and light up the smaller mountain to the right of the frame.

The Old Couple and the Sea


"Vancouver, Canada. I love the serenity it displays, and while seeing this older couple, I was thinking to myself that I only hope to be able to sit there like them when I am at their age, with someone to share this moment". Taken by Tanja Christen-Gschwind
