On Allt na Calliche trail near Invergarry, Scotland, April 2025. #SilentSunday

Many tall, thin, straight trees emerging from a landscape of heavy green moss.

Andrew Abernathy boosted:

You've made it out of January! Congratulations.

Your reward is to enjoy these photos I shot yesterday around the limestone pavements beneath Ingleborough, in the Yorkshire Dales. Aren't you lucky?

A section of limestone pavement known as Douk Cave Pasture, with its distinctive, undulating surface creating a captivating texture. The foreground features large, weathered limestone blocks, some of which rise sharply, while deep grooves separate them, adding to the rugged appearance. In the distance, Ingleborough mountain looms under a veil of mist, its summit partially obscured by clouds. The gentle light from the sun casts a warm glow across the scene, illuminating patches of grass that peek through the stone formations. The overall atmosphere is tranquil and atmospheric, showcasing the unique geological features of this landscape.

A dramatic landscape near Chapel-le-Dale, with Ingleborough mountain dominating the scene. The foreground features rolling hills covered in lush green grass, interspersed with patches of brown heather. A winding path cuts through the landscape, leading towards the base of the mountain. The sky is a striking mix of deep blue and soft white clouds, with a thick blanket of cloud resting on the summit of Ingleborough, creating a moody atmosphere. The light casts gentle shadows across the terrain, enhancing the contours of the hills and adding depth to the scene.

Rugged terrain on Southerscales Scar, characterised by a vast expanse of limestone pavement, its surface marked by deep crevices and rugged formations. In the foreground, the weathered stones are interspersed with patches of earth and sparse grass. A trio of leafless trees stands prominently in the middle ground, their gnarled branches reaching towards the sky. In the distance, Whernside mountain rises majestically, shrouded in a veil of clouds, under a dramatic sky that hints at changing weather. The interplay of light and shadow adds depth to the scene, enhancing the stark beauty of this natural landscape.

A sweeping view from just above Southerscales Scar, showcasing an expansive limestone pavement that dominates the foreground, its rugged surface marked by natural fissures and grooves. Beyond the pavement, rolling green fields stretch into the distance, interspersed with patches of woodland and a few scattered farmhouses. Whernside mountain looms majestically in the background, partially obscured by clouds, while the sky above features a mix of blue and grey, hinting at shifting weather conditions. A cluster of bare trees can be seen to the right, their silhouettes stark against the landscape, adding a sense of depth and scale to the picturesque scene.

Temporary return of the sun on Saturday.

Bright sunlight lights a sky full of jumbled clouds above a steely gray body of water.

If you're vaguely near Glencoe, it's nigh impossible to resist the pull of Glencoe.

But, on this occasion, we made sure to explore other aspects near Glencoe we'd previously glossed over, such as Rannoch Moor's lochs and upper Glencoe. 👍

A captivating autumnal scene at River Coupall near Glencoe, with the iconic Buachaille Etive Mor mountain dominating the background. In the foreground, a cascading waterfall tumbles over rugged rocks, its white water contrasting sharply with the surrounding autumn-hued vegetation. Golden-leaved trees frame the scene, their branches reaching towards a vibrant blue sky dotted with wispy clouds. The river winds through the rocky terrain, leading the eye towards the imposing pyramid-shaped peak of Buachaille Etive Mor, its grey, craggy face a stark contrast to the warm colours of the Highland landscape. The interplay of light and shadow across the rocks and foliage creates a rich tapestry of textures, capturing the raw beauty of the Scottish wilderness in its autumnal glory.

A serene autumnal scene in the Scottish Highlands captures Loch na Stainge in Rannoch Moor. The still waters of the loch perfectly mirror the cloudy sky and surrounding landscape. In the foreground, golden grasses and shrubs border the water's edge. The middle ground features rolling hills covered in ochre-hued vegetation, whilst a solitary tree with vibrant orange foliage stands out against the muted tones. In the background, a majestic mountain partially shrouded in mist dominates the horizon, its rugged slopes catching the sunlight. The interplay of light and shadow across the landscape creates a dramatic and atmospheric composition, showcasing the raw beauty of the Scottish wilderness.

A stunning autumnal scene in Glencoe, captured beneath two of the Three Sisters mountains. The foreground is awash with rich, warm hues of autumn, featuring a tapestry of golden ferns, russet bracken, and vibrant yellow foliage. Deciduous trees in their fall colours create a middle ground, their leaves catching the soft sunlight. Towering above, the dramatic, craggy peaks of two of the Three Sisters dominate the skyline, their rugged silhouettes stark against a partly cloudy sky. The leftmost peak, particularly prominent, casts a shadow across its lower slopes. The interplay of light and shadow across the landscape highlights the raw, untamed beauty of the Scottish Highlands in autumn, creating a scene of breathtaking natural grandeur.

A breathtaking view of Corrie nan Lochan nestled between two of the Three Sisters of Glencoe, showcasing the raw, rugged beauty of the Scottish Highlands. The image captures a dramatic mountain landscape bathed in golden autumnal light. Steep, craggy slopes rise on either side of a narrow glen, their rocky faces etched with shadows. A winding stream cascades down the centre, glinting in the sunlight. The vegetation on the hillsides ranges from rich golden hues to deep browns, indicating the changing seasons. In the background, a majestic mountain peak looms, partially obscured by mist, adding to the ethereal atmosphere. The interplay of light and shadow accentuates the contours of the landscape, creating a sense of depth and grandeur that epitomises the wild, untamed nature of Glencoe.

From April of this year. #heron

A heron stands on the tallest of a row of colorful posts. It is framed by criss-crossing strings of multi-colored light bulbs against a background of blue sky.

From April and June. #buildings

A section of the lovely but neglected red brick one-story flat-roofed Bank of Magdalena building in Magdalena, New Mexico. The top and doorways feature cornices and part of the building has been painted white which is now fading. The scene has a desaturated rose feel due to the expanse of red brick and rose-tinted road running in front of it. The deep blue sky is completely clear.

The facade of a narrow dark red brick building in Cleveland, North Dakota. Almost square, but the upper right corner cuts down roughly, as if part of it is broken off. Much of the side is taken up by what appears to be an old dock door, but which has been boarded over with wood of a similar tone to the brickwork. A normal-sized white door has been set at the edge of that, a bit right of the center of the wall, and a single tall window with green trim sits to the right of that. Above the dock door space is a wide, fading sign identifying this as "Cloveland Grocery", with Coca-Cola logos as endcaps on both sides.

The facade of a faded pinkish boarded-up two-story wooden building in Cleveland, North Dakota. The steeply-pitched roof peaks at the ridge in the center. At ground level a small portico, also with pitched roof, protects double doors. The pale sidewalk and street run in front of the building at an obvious slope.

From April, May, and June of this year. #water

A pool float rope stretches across a small blue lake in a pinkish arid landscape. This is Lea Lake at Bottomless Lakes State Park in New Mexico.

A moody sky over dark green waters of the Gulf of Mexico along the Alabama coast.

Storm clouds, veils of rain, and a small but bright rainbow above a calm dark green Lake Huron at Tawas City, Michigan.

A tree grows within Columbus limestone slabs on the coast of Lake Erie at Marblehead, Ohio.

Awesome.

Some mountains from back in early April. #mountains #landscape

A hill of orange dirt and orange-brown scrub. In the distance beyond the hill is a range of snow-topped mountain peaks. The scene is in the Mesa Verde area of Colorado.

A flat landscape of pale yellowish grass leads to a dark, low, snow-capped mountain range in the distance. A sky of dramatic clouds fills the upper half of the frame. This is in northwest Utah.

An open picnic shelter with a stone frame faces some dark mountain peaks with gouged granite sides. This is just east of Las Cruces in New Mexico.

A landscape of white sand dunes, and a dark mountain range in the distance sitting low on the horizon with a blue sky and some wispy white clouds above. This is at White Sands National Park in New Mexico.

Some waterfalls of North Carolina and Georgia, in May of this year. #waterfalls #CrabtreeFalls #GraveyardFields #HemlockFalls #CherokeeFalls #CloudlandCanyon

Crabtree Falls in North Carolina. Bright white rivulets of water cascade down a wide, rough, dark rock slope, crashing into a pool at the bottom. Trees surrounding the upper portion gleam bright green in the even light.

Graveyard Fields Upper Falls in North Carolina. A thin stream of water cascades down a tall rough surface of rock, some of which is dark but lower bits are lighter with an orange tint.

Hemlock Falls in Georgia's Cloudland Canyon. A broken stream of water drops over the top of a thick rock ledge. To the right of the waterfall the sun highlights an orangish section of the ledge. The left is in shadow and the rock seems white. A pool at the base of the falls empties into a stream near the viewer's position.

Cherokee Falls, also in Georgia's Cloudland Canyon. A larger stream falls over another thick rock ledge into a large pool at the base. The rock face is grey with white sections. Trees in various shades of green surround the top of the falls.

Up early to help with turtle patrol, Orange Beach, Alabama, in May of this year. #LifeguardTower #OrangeBeachAL #SilentSunday

In dim, pre-dawn light, a small white lifeguard tower sits on an empty white beach, facing mostly away from the viewer, towards the dark, calm open water beyond. The sky is dark blue and largely featureless. The lifeguard tower has the number 4 on its sides; the one on the back with a reddish glint due to a bit of light reflecting from somewhere.

Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota, about six weeks ago. #TheodoreRooseveltNationalPark

A prominent butte with three clear tiers sits in a landscape of exposed hills and lush green grass. The butte and foreground are in direct sunlight, while the hills further back are largely in the shadow of clouds. Seen from Painted Canyon Overlook in the south unit of the park.

Another scene of Painted Canyon, showing exposed hill slopes and grassy flat areas with scattered green trees.

Glimpses of the Little Missouri River winding back and forth through a lower landscape. There are numerous trees along much of the river's path, while the rest of the landscape is mostly grass, with bare hillsides in the distance. As seen from the Sperati Point Trail in the north unit of the park.

A late afternoon scene of bison grazing on a large grassy slope with gentle hills in the distance. This is in the north unit of the park.

Sunset on storm over Lake Huron in late May of this year. #sunset #storm #TawasCityMI

Large light and dark storm clouds over water fill the frame, with no land visible on the horizon. A veil of rain is in the distance on the left side of the scene. The rain and the lower part of the clouds is painted a pinkish orange by sunset light. There is a hint of rainbow near the middle of the scene. The water surface is largely calm.

A wider view of the previous photo, with a wooden dock on the left and a couple of fishermen.

A bright vertical rainbow beam in the midst of a veil of rain falling from storm clouds, painted orange by sunset light. This angle shows a strip of low land on the horizon.

A brightly-colored playground structure in the form of a large friendly-looking fish. Beyond is a strip of water with storm clouds above, and patches of heavy rain painted orange by sunset light.

A few insects I encountered along the Blue Ridge Parkway in May of this year. #insects

A tiny ladybug , red with black spots, on a dark damp log.

A gleaming gold and green june beetle crawling on a tan piece of clothing.

A dead, pale moth, upside down with wings extended, lying on brown leaf litter.

The Blue Ridge Parkway and Smokies in May of this year. Mostly from North Carolina, with one from Tennessee.

#mountains #BlueRidgeParkway

Layers of tree-covered mountain ridges becoming more and more hazy as they recede in the distance. The nearest ridges show trees of various shades of green, as well as some hints of yellow and some that have a bit of orange tint to them. This is at Cowee Mountain Overlook, Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina.

Distinct leafy light green and orangish trees in the foreground, framing numerous mountain ridges of a fairly even and relatively dark green. This is at Lone Bald Overlook, Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina.

A light blue fire lookout tower rises above a thickly tree-covered mountain ridge, with more ridges in the background. This is at Plott Balsam Overlook, Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina.

A tree-covered mountain with a number of ridges running from the peak down towards the viewer. This is Chimney Tops in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee.

Exploring and camping at Enchanted Rock State Natural Area, Texas in April of this year. #EnchantedRock

A close view looking up the steep slope of a pink granite dome with no plant growth except a small patch of bush or tree limbs poking over the top at one point. The surface is pocked with many small damp depressions. The curve of the top of the dome is clearly visible running across the frame, with a few figures at the top, appearing small along a horizon of large puffy clouds covering most of the pale blue sky.

From near the top of the pink granite dome, the surface has many shallow pools of water. The view is to the side, with the dome curving gently down from left to right, revealing a hazy flat green landscape with a line of ridges in the distance.

A close-up of a steep curve on the pink granite dome revealing a large rock knob nearby, also of pink granite but sporting a number of trees climbing up the base.

A view of the dome from near the base, with a small figure at the bottom and a number of tiny people climbing or at the top revealing some scale of the dome.

Thanks. Yeah, so many wildflowers. I was told at a visitor center that the road department seeds flowers along the roads in that area, so not entirely wild per se. But far more pleasant than many smaller roads that I'm used to, and there were lots of flowers in the park as well. I was at Enchanted Rock the next day, which was very cool. (Those photos up next in the queue.)

Viewing April's total solar eclipse from a hike-in primitive camping spot in Texas. The forecast was for complete cloud cover the entire region, and early morning was indeed cloudy, but then it mostly cleared. There was some cloud intrusion, but mostly the eclipse was very visible. #SolarEclipse #SolarEclipse2024

A 3-by-3 grid of the eclipse's progression. The top and bottom rows are of the moon moving over and then away from the sun, respectively, and are orange due to the filter needed to protect from the sun. The middle row is of totality and did not need the filter; these shots show the moon's black silhouette with a white halo from the sun's corona, and several pinkish solar prominences dotting the edge. Several of the photos show signs of partial cloud cover.

A arid scene of pale rocky ground, numerous small yellow flowers, and low-lying prickly-pear cactus pads, surrounded by trees of various shades of green.

A wooden bench sits in a scene of low grass, prickly-pear cactus pads, and blue-purple flowers, along with some bushes and then a line of somewhat scraggly trees. An aeromotor windmill, as commonly seen in this area, rises above the trees.

A small meadow thickly covered in yellow and blue flowers. A variety of short trees of different heights and shades of green surround the meadow.

The Very Large Array in New Mexico, April of this year.

#VLA #VeryLargeArray #NRAO

A distant view of four large (25 meter) white radio telescope dishes pointing up at a clear blue sky. They are arrayed in a row on a flat pale arid plain with a backdrop of dry mountains well beyond.

A column of large radio telescope dishes receding from the camera's position. In the distance two other radio telescopes are visible to either side. The landscape is pale dry scrub bushes.

A single large radio telescope set against a dry pale mountain ridge well in the background.

A cluster of five radio telescopes pointing skyward. Most are angled away and to the right from the viewer, but one is angled a bit to the left.

May of this year, along Lake Huron, Lake Erie, and Lake Michigan.
