"Glass Forest" - Mountaintop Frost

L1010273

  • Horn Creek Valley - Early Summer<br /> <br /> L1000468
  • "Glass Forest" - Mountaintop Frost<br /> <br /> L1010273
  • Early springtime sunset - Cannon Creek Valley from Brannon Mountain Road. <br /> <br /> "As the crow flies," this view is almost exactly due west of Crosses, AR. The small white pip about a third of the way across from the left-hand side of the image is the Mount Olive Water District tower near AR Highway 16, approximately 1 mile east of the Madison / Washington County line.<br /> <br /> Digital composite panorama, reconstructed from 10 individual images.
  • "Waiting to go back to work"<br /> <br /> Storm clouds provide a backdrop for the last of fall colors, as hay equipment waits for spring to come around again.
  • Late winter sunset - Madison 3605 just north of the Ozark National Forest boundary.<br /> <br /> Who says there's no color in a winter landscape?<br /> <br /> L1010543-L1010545
  • Freezing fog along AR 23 - Hoskins Barn near St. Paul, AR.<br /> <br /> A "fine, soft day" in late February.<br /> <br /> Digital composite panorama, reconstructed from 5 separate images.
  • Hoskins Barn, near St. Paul AR -- "Before and After"<br /> <br /> Upper image from February 2013. Lower image from the morning of June 1st 2013, after spring thunderstorms demolished the barn, as well as damaging several other homes and many trees in the area.<br /> <br /> Thankfully, nobody was injured.
  • When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the creator.<br /> -- Mahatma Gandhi<br /> <br /> Eastern sky, late springtime sunset, out on the family farm.<br /> <br /> Technical details: HDR image generated from six separate exposures, plus light texture filter. The difference between "artistic liberties" and "photoshop crime" is a matter of personal judgement. It worked for me. :)
  • Patchy rain showers during the past couple of days made for spectacular atmospheric effects late in the day.<br /> <br /> "Crepuscular rays" (is the technical term, but there's something about the word that just sucks all the magnificence out of this phenomenon. If you're interested in the nutsy-boltsy version, look here: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crepuscular_rays">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crepuscular_rays</a><br /> <br /> "Old folks" when I was a younger man would say this was the sun "drawing water" or would describe the phenomenon as "Jacob's Ladder". I've always liked those terms better.<br /> <br /> More on the "Jacob's Ladder" interpretation here: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob%27s_Ladder">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob%27s_Ladder</a>
