There is peace and quiet standing here. Let your eyes absorb the beauty. Let the day be yours. In the surrounding mountains.

Through The Mountains
It is summer here in Nicaragua now. But like everywhere else in the world, the weather patterns have been messed up. Lately there has been plenty of rain, bringing cooler temperatures. It has been a week now since I finally made it out for some photographic fun. It was a beautiful warm sunny day. A little late in the morning for the best lighting. The haze was a little annoying to deal with.
It was on a Monday past that I was joined by a good Nica friend. I had secured his services the day before. We topped off his motorcycle with gas. Then away we went cruising through the mountains. It had been many years since I traveled by motorcycle.
I was attracted by a rock knob on the mountain top as shown in the photo. The lush greens of the landscape is long gone. Replaced by parched earth. There is tremendous depth here in the photo. From foreground to background you are given a sense of depth vertically and horizontally. You will see buildings in the left corner of photo. They give you the sense scale to the whole composition. The rock knob is only a portion of my composition, but is there. I allowed the sky to be half of the photo. Thus a sense of overall vastness that are the mountains. In this type of work I want you to envision the feeling of a 3D feel.
I will close now, till next week. So until next week happy trails

A Whimsical Isle
A whimsical isle offshore
Evergreens crowd the center
Struggling to maintain hold
Among the worn rocks
The trees are dwarfed
With inadequacy of food
Time and time again
The ravages of Lake Superior
Overwhelm the tiny island
After each bout of ferocity
The little trees still stand
A testament of strength
To withstand the brutality
Of the unforgiving waters
With a lowering sun
The water is calm
A rare moment it is
The trees stand bold
In the evening solitude
White clouds flirting
Across the blue sky
Reflecting upon the water
The horizon turning pink
From the sun’s glow
The shadows are creeping
Over the reposing land
Darkness has now descended
The isle mere silhouette
Upon the placid waters
The sky is clearing
The stars luminous in the night sky
The moon casts a silver glow
Over the diminutive isle
There is a sense
Of quietude and peace
Along the rugged shoreline

The Color Yellow
Well walking the shoreline of the Vermillion River near my home early one morning,I came across the above composition.The fog had lifted.The sun lit up the yellow leaves on the left.I had a Birch tree and another tree trunk to work with.The two trunks created a V shape.I shot tight to the shore line using the green grass as my foreground.There was some pieces of wood at the base.I kept the yellow leafs that were sunlit to the left in the photo.Just showed some sky at the top which was a beautiful blue along with the white clouds,
While that is it for this week.I just returned from O S A Lake in Killarney Provincial Park.We spent 5 days there photographing.I will do a post sometime next week when I have processed some photos. So until next ime happy trails.
