Mist rises of the marsh during this muted spring sunrise. https://www.harrylichtman.com/autumn-carpet https://images.on-this.website/17160_57630417561c3a8686e9eb.jpgAutumn Carpet A colorful view near Crawford Notch from surrounding ledges.

Conditions can be warm enough to attract thousands of onlookers and skiers to the challenging bowl. https://www.harrylichtman.com/imp-light https://images.on-this.website/17160_12755572844e4aff20a222a.jpgImp Light My wife generously sat on an outcropping of granite at Imp Ledge during a backpack trip in NH's White Mountains. The sun briefly broke through storm clouds, and I felt the human element would add to the scene. https://www.harrylichtman.com/camden-harbor-sunrise https://images.on-this.website/17160_7357073795474da28c7fe2.jpgCamden Harbor Sunrise A beautiful display of color over Camden Harbor on the coast of Maine as nearby trees held on to autumn. https://www.harrylichtman.com/winters-embrace https://images.on-this.website/17160_18047609276276932c0844e.jpgWinter's Embrace Despite the whiteout conditions, was one of the most enjoyable winter experiences. Blowing snow and fog has a way of simplifying the most complicated and chaotic scenes. Rain had turned to ice then snow, allowing it to collect on all surfaces. https://www.harrylichtman.com/highland-lagoon https://images.on-this.website/17160_145195273055c882f8012b2.jpgHighland Lagoon Glacial melt creates this enormous lagoon deep in the Icelandic Highlands. https://www.harrylichtman.com/fortress-of-solitude https://images.on-this.website/17160_175735771554d7dd047af43.jpgFortress of Solitude Hidden ice worlds lie beneath Iceland's Vatnajokull Glacier waiting to be discovered. Melt caverns are sculpted during the warmer months and are more safely explored during the winter. This cave had 2 openings - a down stream melt stream and a collapsed ceiling several hundred feet upstream. Recent heavy snows deposited snow through the collapsed ceiling, forming beautiful snow drifts. https://www.harrylichtman.com/fresh-snow-jokulsarlon https://images.on-this.website/17160_181790439254c19c433ad82.jpgDiamond Litter A fresh coating of snow awaited me during my 1st visit to this stunning black sand beach. I planned my approach carefully so as not to disturb the pristine sand and snow. It took me about 30 minutes to get to the water, taking photos as I went. Ice bergs were littered along a 1/2 mile stretch of beach, thrown up onto the beach by the incoming tide. https://www.harrylichtman.com/autumn-vista-moat-mountain https://images.on-this.website/17160_28696571163b21343b87e5.jpgAutumn Vista Moat Mountain Distant storms created some dramatic lighting as the sun danced with the clouds in NH's White Mountains. https://www.harrylichtman.com/big-chill https://images.on-this.website/17160_114098366561e9e791c15a9.jpgBig Chill While it could be a misty summer morning in Rye Harbor, sometimes a photo can be deceiving. The temperatures actually hovered around 0 degrees, producing sea smoke as the colder air traveled over the warmer ocean waters. Combined with the warm light of sunrise, a deceptively inviting scene. https://www.harrylichtman.com/not-fade-away https://images.on-this.website/17160_6119714275ff8eeb36ffd8.jpgNot Fade Away A frosty morning outside my door as the colors of autumn faded. https://www.harrylichtman.com/coastal-nirvana https://images.on-this.website/17160_18677722145b54a51518a16.jpgCoastal Nirvana The Maine coast doesn't get much better than this in one shot! Raging surf, dramatic cliffs, thunderstorm clouds and a rainbow, classic sailboat. All of this at once off the coast of Ogunquit. Now if it were at sunrise or sunset, it might have been better! https://www.harrylichtman.com/infinity-pool-grand-teton https://images.on-this.website/17160_9901329455a8b4d24638b2.jpgInfinity Pool - Grand Teton The infinity pool effect was the result of the Snake River partially dammed by river rocks. Still morning waters reflect the Grand and neighboring peaks as the first snow of the season is revealed. https://www.harrylichtman.com/makabu-summit https://images.on-this.website/17160_21469004215e6154c249b22.jpgMakabu Summit One of the many summit hikes in the Lofoten Islands. https://www.harrylichtman.com/flashpoint https://images.on-this.website/17160_7715642424e4b00153b735.jpgFlashpoint! Fog obscured the mountains of the Pliny and Presidential ranges on this morning in the White Mountains, but the resulting sunrise was in many more mystical. I thought the pond would ignite under the intense light caused by the sun through the fog & mist. https://www.harrylichtman.com/golden-cascades https://images.on-this.website/17160_15556117804ee1750ff2f1a.jpgGolden Cascades [size=12][b]Warm light reflected off walls behind my vantage point to cast some warm light on these cascades in the Subway[/b][/size] https://www.harrylichtman.com/red-eagle-reflections https://images.on-this.website/17160_113345007463b21224c5a31.jpgRed Eagle Reflections Red Eagle Pond is a small marsh and pond in NH's White Mountains that can be quite colorful under the right lighting and peak foliage. I finally captured it to my liking this past year when stillness and foliage coincided after a nearby hike. https://www.harrylichtman.com/blue-lagoon https://images.on-this.website/17160_7695744674e5a313aca310.jpgBlue Lagoon [size=12][b]Blue Star Pool in Yellowstone's Upper Geyser Basin during a winter hike.[/b][/size] https://www.harrylichtman.com/coastal-colors https://images.on-this.website/17160_15552301774e3ffa04d96df.jpgCoastal Colors Autumn flowers and foliage add additional interest to this view of Wallis Sands State Park and beach in Rye, NH. https://www.harrylichtman.com/inner-flame https://images.on-this.website/17160_698712774ee174e98ae1a.jpgInner Flame [size=12][b]The frigid Virgin River flows through a particularly scenic portion of the Narrows.

A passing rain storm heading inland created this beautiful view. https://www.harrylichtman.com/last-light-ptarmigan-wall https://images.on-this.website/17160_1276061904ee264978344f.jpgLast Light - Ptarmigan Wall Elizabeth Lake reflects the formidable Ptarmigan Wall in Glacier National Park. A classic Glacier hike includes traveling through the rock face via a blasted tunnel. https://www.harrylichtman.com/meadowlands-fox-glacier https://images.on-this.website/17160_1118641705e5fc02e45837.jpgMeadowlands - Fox Glacier A misty morning near Fox Glacier. https://www.harrylichtman.com/winter-gorge-ii https://images.on-this.website/17160_15551532435d389f968bc67.jpgWinter Gorge III Another composition of the Flume Gorge as winter settles in. While most visitors walk a boardwalk through the narrows, I prefer this transition of autumn to winter. Icicles form on the walls while water is still rushing by. It is a magical time that few get to see. https://www.harrylichtman.com/forever-winter https://images.on-this.website/17160_113439645463b76bbe34dcd.jpgForever Winter Even as the valleys surrounding Stanley, Idaho are a deep green, the upper elevations surrounding the lakes are still frozen in winter. https://www.harrylichtman.com/sunrise-basin https://images.on-this.website/17160_2585201725ffe3e73ec8f0.jpgSunrise Basin Badwater Basin and some of the most bizarre and unique salt polygon formations during a beautiful sunrise. After water evaporates, these salty ridges remain. North America's lowest elevation. https://www.harrylichtman.com/sun-bathing https://images.on-this.website/17160_403088296546669172103b.jpgSun Bathing Sunrise hits high peaks near the Continental Divide in Jasper National Park along the Athabasca River. https://www.harrylichtman.com/light-cascade https://images.on-this.website/17160_11170380555073fb4a7e3bd.jpgLight Cascade A clearing snow and rain storm produced some unusual lighting conditions above the Tyrolean Alps from the Unterbergtal Valley. For a few minutes, the fog appeared to cascade over the tree tops high above as sun illuminated the fog. Kesselspitze (9,002 ft.) rises above the tree line. https://www.harrylichtman.com/schoodic-tidal-pools https://images.on-this.website/17160_31054961163b89e9f781a7.jpgSchoodic Tidal Pools Little Moose Island reflected in a tidepool along Schoodic Peninsula of Acadia National Park. https://www.harrylichtman.com/stubai-alpenglow https://images.on-this.website/17160_265798865073fb9067b21.jpgStubai Alpenglow An alpine ridge line is set on fire by the setting sun in this idyllic setting in the Stubai Alps of Tyrol. I came upon this tarn in the late afternoon after arriving at the Dresdner Hut along the Stubai Rucksack Route. I knew the location had great potential if the weather cooperated. I hike backed to the tarn amongst grazing sheep (see Classic Austrian Landscape image) and just relaxed on the water's edge as the last of the sun's rays struck some of the highest peaks of the Stubai Range. https://www.harrylichtman.com/afternoon-delight https://images.on-this.website/17160_17310580905466605725f30.jpgAfternoon Delight A trip to Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park is not complete without a hike up to the Niblit, Nublit, and Nub Peaks. These three alpine prominences afford majestic views of beautiful lakes and stunning mountains. In autumn, larch trees in the area turn a vibrant yellow to orange color, so I planned my visit to the park to catch them before they lost their needles. I hiked many miles to these outcrops over several days, hoping to capture some dramatic moments. I highlight the larch in this shot as they were backlit by the sun. Terrapin Mnt., Mount Magog, Mount Assiniboine, Sunburst Peak, Wedgewood Peak, and The Marshall form the alpine sky line. https://www.harrylichtman.com/embedded https://images.on-this.website/17160_47302785062758d01bfadf.jpgEmbedded An oak leaf captured in time in a small pubble down the road from me. During a freeze and thaw period, I stopped by to see what had been trapped and preserved for me. https://www.harrylichtman.com/the-grove https://images.on-this.website/17160_16352711963baee6401477.jpgThe Grove A beautiful aspen grove during a hike toward Thompson Peak, the Sawtooth range's highest. https://www.harrylichtman.com/prescott-park-gardens https://images.on-this.website/17160_6764420175d38543131baa.jpgPrescott Park Gardens The Prescott Park gardens are a work of art.

Sometimes the unexpected finds are more rewarding. The soft lighting was the result of the sun trying to break through the clouds and mist. https://www.harrylichtman.com/glacier-dreaming https://images.on-this.website/17160_16238741864ee3caad7e574.jpgGlacier Dreaming Wonderful light fills the basin of Many Glacier in Glacier National Park.

I was fascinated with these surface snow forms during my hiking through Glacier National Park. They are formed during dry conditions during snow melt in alpine areas that receive direct sun during the melting season (insulation). High points on the snow evaporate water molecules more slowly than the depression areas, where water collects as it melts, deepening the depression. Dirt and debris can help speed up the process. I became obsessed with finding the most unique shaped sun cups during my travels.

It was very cold and windy, and the small bushes provided a little protection. I had hoped a moose would pass in front of me, but no luck. A break in the clouds lit up the range, and I was able to get off a couple of frames before the sun was lost. Windy conditions prevented the reflection I was looking for, but great light none the less. This shot came about an hour before sunset, but dark clouds blanketed the area by that time. The long wait was rewarded with a surprise sunset (see Lonesome Lake Alpenglow). https://www.harrylichtman.com/diamond-eclipse https://images.on-this.website/17160_1711131732661ee6a716ab8.jpgDiamond Eclipse The sun begins to move from behind the sun, creating the stunning Diamond Effect. https://www.harrylichtman.com/serenity-lake-umbagog https://images.on-this.website/17160_20447907705a64e35a61e91.jpgSerenity - Lake Umbagog Pickerelweed took center stage for this image of Lake Umbagog due its luminescent quality when backlit by the late morning sun. The bottom mud and sediments were very soft, and sinking in to the point that I could not extract myself was a real concern. I decided to use an extension ladder that I had access to and dropped it into the lake, then carefully walked out on the submerged ladder to get close to the pickerelweed with a wide angle lens. The ladder acted as a large snowshoe and dispersed my weight. The mountains of Maine are in the distance. https://www.harrylichtman.com/above-hardangerfjord https://images.on-this.website/17160_5377811385bfaf055c422c.jpgAbove Hardangerfjord Hardangerfjord is the world's 4th longest fjord, and Norway's 2nd longest. A fjord is a long, narrow waterway connecting the ocean to inland mountains, typically of glacial origin. Norway is blessed with some of the most dramatic fjords anywhere. I chose a less visited hike called the Queen Sonja Panoramic trail to take in the massive fjord and nearby Folgefonna Glacier from above. Clouds and mist would frequently block the view, so taking photos required patience and quickly reacting to moments of clearing while on the move. https://www.harrylichtman.com/crystal-catacomb https://images.on-this.website/17160_71894878454d7d7b05be11.jpgCrystal Catacomb Beneath Iceland's Vatnajokull Glacial, melt caverns form during the warmer months and polished ice tunnels are left in their wake.

Mounts Lafayette, Lincoln and Little Haystack form the view you see here. I make a point of only shooting this view after a fresh snow, which might be more difficult than you think. Wind can easily blow snow off trees and rocks, or melt by the sun before being photographed. Also, sun position is critical in showing textures in the snow and the folds of the mountains. https://www.harrylichtman.com/south-moat-mountain https://images.on-this.website/17160_1692977959603ed6a5ddf61.jpgSouth Moat Mountain Expansive views await hikers to Moat Mountain.

Rainbows usually form opposite the sun, so about 180 degrees apart. My lens only covers 114 degrees, so I needed to pan my lens to cover the huge span. Rain, which produced such unusual conditions, quickly ensued and scene turned to grey.

The trek to this alpine glacial lake started out in rain and ended in rain. There was a brief 45 minute period midway that provided an opportunity to get some shots of the surrounding landscape. I nearly missed the opportunity, as it was raining heavily when I reached the lake. I found shelter in tiny hut, if you can call if that, near the lake. After having some food, I began my descent in the rain. After 30 minutes down, I realized I left my hat in the hut. I debated just leaving it there, but in the end I hiked back up to retrieve it. Once back at the lake, skies cleared, the sun popped out, and so did my camera. https://www.harrylichtman.com/photo42204764.html https://images.on-this.website/17160_18848627945ff8e6e5acd71.jpgFogged In Snow turned sleet then to rain, producing foggy conditions along Great Bay National Wildlife Refuge near Adams Point in Durham.

The blue-green color is due to the dissolved rock particles (rock flour) in the water. Water absorbs different wavelengths of light. Depending on impurities and depth, different light spectrums are displayed. Deep lakes tend to be more blue because they absorb the weaker red spectrum. However, the rock flour can change what spectra are absorbed, thus a color shift occurs in the glacial melt. The scene would have looked much different under bright sun, and I rather liked the mystery the moving clouds and fog lent to the view.

A light rain fell as I crawled around the rocks carved by water and time, looking for interesting compositions. The rain helped saturate the foliage, and improved the flow of the water below, which is often much lower. https://www.harrylichtman.com/summers-arrival https://images.on-this.website/17160_19717420944ff63605756e0.jpgSummer's Arrival [size=12][b]Pastel skies accent this field of lupine near Sugar Hill, New Hampshire as sunset approaches.[/size][/b] https://www.harrylichtman.com/winter-descends https://images.on-this.website/17160_98542323455b3f8530f1e3.jpgWinter Descends An early snow frosting near the Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods, NH.

I was fascinated with these surface snow forms during my hiking through Glacier National Park. They are formed during dry conditions during snow melt in alpine areas that receive direct sun during the melting season (insolation). High points on the snow evaporate water molecules more slowly than the depression areas, where water collects as it melts, speeding up the melting process & deepening the depression. Dirt and debris can help speed up the process. This patch of snow remained on a drift on Stoney Indian Pass, and was still quite solid and icy underneath. [/b][/size] https://www.harrylichtman.com/silver-snow-i https://images.on-this.website/17160_1830223654e4b00948f66e.jpgSilver & Snow I Silver Cascade in Crawford Notch, NH is normally surrounded by hordes of visitors, especially during fall foliage season. This autumn saw lots of rain, and in this case snow during early October. Normally, I pass by these falls to avoid the crowds but on this day, I spent about 1.5 hrs. checking out many photo opportunies with not a sole around. Falling snow and raw conditions led to some unique photo opportunities during the peak of color. https://www.harrylichtman.com/pemigewasset-vista https://images.on-this.website/17160_127064606261c3b8a9b8273.jpgPemigewasset Vista The first winter storm of the season clears from the Sandwich Range in NH's White Mountains. https://www.harrylichtman.com/slopes-of-blahnukur https://images.on-this.website/17160_864017758563d19d0423b7.jpgSlopes of Blahnukur During the summer, one has to get up very early to catch sunrise, and extra early if hiking is required to get to a specific location. On this morning, I started hiking around 2 AM to catch this sunrise atop the volcanic peak Blahnukur (Blue Mountain). Arguably the most colorful mountain in the world, Brennisteinsalda and active steam vents can be seen on the left horizon. The Laugahraun lava fields dominate the lower right, covered in vibrant green mosses. https://www.harrylichtman.com/spring-storms-at-wagon-hill https://images.on-this.website/17160_1180827405603e5b1b22e7d.jpgSpring Storms at Wagon Hill I have shot wildflowers at Durham's Wagon Hill Farm over the years, but this was one of the best surises I have witnessed. Flowers can be hit or miss depending on environmental factors or if they have been trampled by visiting dogs who love the area as well. I found this grouping at the last minute, as I frantically searched for some decent flowers to include with the developing sky. https://www.harrylichtman.com/coastal-creations https://images.on-this.website/17160_1438670463603ec70933cf4.jpgCoastal Creations I had admired this small tidal pool during the summer, but the sun doesn't rise behind it until the winter months. Grasses grow so high in the summer that it is almost unrecognizable. But com winter, it can become a beautiful reflecting pool. The salt water created a lumpy and opaque ice surface, so I brought some hot water and poured it over the ice to created a smoother, more reflective surface. https://www.harrylichtman.com/sundown-exeter https://images.on-this.website/17160_6657096495b056d2d34e33.jpgSundown Exeter A great sunset looked like it was in the making, as high clouds formed on the western horizon. I set up along the Exeter River where it empties into the Squamscott River and captured intense light as the sun sank into the clouds. The reflected light off the river was eye catching to me, and I tried to relay that magic in the image. https://www.harrylichtman.com/ripley-falls-the-precipice https://images.on-this.website/17160_6192783884e41dbf1db02d.jpgRipley Falls - The Precipice I had waiting nearly 10 years to be in Crawford Notch for a fresh snow coinciding with the falls running high. The area had been barren of snow for weeks prior to this image, but a fresh 10 inches of snow and spring melt allowed such conditions. While shots from the base of the falls seemed the obvious choice of compositions, I liked the feel and view just at the lip of the falls. https://www.harrylichtman.com/chocorua-pastels https://images.on-this.website/17160_167696518603ed6a5dfa66.jpgChocorua Pastels Cool summer mornings provide ideal conditions for fog on the lakes and mountain ponds in the White Mountains. While paddling out to this vantage point, I could feel the heat coming off the water. I was warmer standing in the lake than above water. https://www.harrylichtman.com/meditaions https://images.on-this.website/17160_1408550353603ec70666bac.jpgMeditaions A slow shutter speed rendered the incoming waves in these radiating patterns before the sun broke the horizon along the NH coast. https://www.harrylichtman.com/the-beacon https://images.on-this.website/17160_8426129444ee3cd0255a76.jpgThe Beacon Swiftcurrent Lake reflects Grinnell Point in the rarely calm waters as the first rays of the day strike the peak. I was amazed that the surrounding clouds never lit up with color, as I had hoped. In hind site, I really liked how the mountain was separated from the background as if lit by a spotlight. The light quickly faded and everything began to look grey and dull. A German photographer and I were the only 2 at the lake, and rejoiced in the unusual lighting together in our respective languages. Somehow, we knew what each other were saying! This image received the 2011 Highly Honored Award from Nature's Best International Competition. This competition required that the image be a single capture - no exposure blending, HDR, or focal blends. I used a 2 stop grad ND filter with movement to balance the bright red peak and sky with the shadow areas. https://www.harrylichtman.com/lonesome-lake-ribbon-of-fire https://images.on-this.website/17160_12253234794e4aff26a15e9.jpgLonesome Lake - Ribbon of Fire While not Colorado, this might be as close as it gets in NH. I hiked by headlamp to reach this vantage point for sunrise and was treated to what I thought would be some great cloud light. Shortly after this image, the light faded, and never came back. The crimson ribbon is only a hint of what may be on another visit. I used my head lamp to illuminate the foreground shrubs during the long exposre. https://www.harrylichtman.com/fresh-fall https://images.on-this.website/17160_11134565506578aeb3987f7.jpgFresh Fall Heavy wet snow blankets NH's Saco River Valley in Crawford Notch, White Mountains. https://www.harrylichtman.com/sawtooth-lake https://images.on-this.website/17160_117231966063b73864de119.jpgSawtooth Lake Mt.

As luck would have it, sun broke through clouds momentarily to produce this double rainbow above Bondcliff. I had thoughts of retreating off the summit as the rains came, but was rewarded with some spectacular lighting for enduring the wet conditions. https://www.harrylichtman.com/reine-rorbuer https://images.on-this.website/17160_11326899645c105fc283054.jpgReine Rorbuer These classic fishing shacks were home for several days while in the Lofoten Islands this fall. Many of these bright red buildings have been converted to accommodations in response to the booming tourist industry, while keeping their rustic charm and homage to the cod fishing industry that dominates the area. Often, one end of the building hangs over the water supported by poles or stilts, while the other end is land bound. This gave the fishermen easy access to their boats. The sod roofs are another traditional nordic element that help waterproof and insulate the buildings. Under the grassy top is birch bark, which accounts for the watertight effect. The sod holds everything in place. I tried finding an image that contained all of these classic parts of the nordic culture, with some lighting to match. This stormy sunrise seemed to do the trick. Images of these Rorbu or Rorbuer are pretty common, so this was one of my takes on a classic scene. https://www.harrylichtman.com/photo48113596.html https://images.on-this.website/17160_146019619363b89e9f793ab.jpgThe Chasm Sheer cliffs and some dramatic sunrise light off the coast of Acadia National Park along the Schoodic Peninsula. https://www.harrylichtman.com/sunblast-swamscott-marsh https://images.on-this.website/17160_53644237064f9ca43e38f4.jpgSunblast Swamscott Marsh Sun breaks through the fog and clouds on a cool spring morning along the NH coast. https://www.harrylichtman.com/wildewasserweg https://images.on-this.website/17160_4427676205093e8406e2e6.jpgWildeWasserWeg Wilde Wasser Weg literally translates to wild water trail, and this stretch along the Falbesoner Brook lived up to its name. While there is really no trail, I followed the cascades for about 1/2 mile trying to line up various compositional elements such as the peak, falls, and lighting. This view best represented the dramatic landscape one might encounter near the Neue Regensburger Hut in the Stubai Alps. https://www.harrylichtman.com/sheltered https://images.on-this.website/17160_14261886895825b4f297a9b.jpgSheltered After searching the White Mountains for a collection of birch trees, I found this grove in Durham, NH - just miles away from where I live. I have biked by them from a distance many times over the years but never noticed them until this year. Special considerations were made during the image capture to ensure the image could be reproduce into a wall sized photographic mural. Fog filtered into the scene just before sunrise which adds to the soothing effect. https://www.harrylichtman.com/richardson-moonset https://images.on-this.website/17160_937248111602ef6fe7e96f.jpgRichardson Moonset An early influence on my work was Ansel Adams, who on occasion included the moon in his compositions.

Construction was still being done to repair the roads leading into town. Another visible change was the uplift of the seafloor in the tidal zone - some areas raised by several meters. Coastal features like these limestone fins were probably submerged below the low tide line before the quake and not as clearly visible. Before sunrise, they reflected the colorful sky. Later in the day, these same features looked bleached white. https://www.harrylichtman.com/slow-burn https://images.on-this.website/17160_18106613216762c90d91e5f.jpgSlow Burn Squamscott Marsh This blazing sunrise over the marshes in Stratham evolved for 45 minutes starting 20 minutes before sunrise.

I like the way the clouds add a bit of mystery to the image and was glad it wasn't totally clear.

Norway along with many of the nordic countries allow camping and backpacking on most public lands, and many private areas with permission. I eyed this area during a coastal drive, checked out my topo map for viability of the terrain for hiking, then went for it during a good weather window. This was sunset overlooking the mountains of Moskenesoya. https://www.harrylichtman.com/sand-serpents-monochrome https://images.on-this.website/17160_704941090563d2a1370d0b.jpgSand Serpents - Monochrome Volcanic black sands are whipped into interesting pattern along the southeast shores of Iceland.

I was visiting the area near Mammoth for some cross country skiing, but found that the area south of Mammoth was more photogenic. Despite all of the fresh snow that Mammoth had received, it was traveling sideways at 30 MPH and didn't stay on the trees as I had hoped. Pre-sunrise was spent shooting near the Owens River in Bishop & then scouting shots for the following morning. Later each morning, I was skiing the cross country trails near Mammoth. Not a bad mix! While I really like the tones of the original color version, I thought the B&W conversion was also pretty dramatic.[/b][/size] https://www.harrylichtman.com/rundle-awakens https://images.on-this.website/17160_1272642693529c7f15657ca.jpgRundle Awakens [b][size=12]Well before the sun rose, the sun coats the underside of the swirling clouds.

In the distance I caught a glimpse of the Tasman Sea peaking through the notch. Clouds would move in to quickly reveal, then obscure the view. I listened for helicopters, as they would move into the area when clearing was imminent.

I had not planned to stop, but the fog filled basin drew me in and thought there might be some potential for more abstract images. The grand scene slowly revealed itself, and was quite spectacular. The clouds lit up with the early rays of sun as mist floated across the lake. https://www.harrylichtman.com/night-light https://images.on-this.website/17160_13893729775bfad7b0b9f47.jpgNight Light I'm usually too lazy to try and set up a photo during the middle of the night, especially when I am warm and cozy in my sleeping bag. A bathroom break during an overnight in the Lofoten Islands got me up around midnight, and the conditions were too perfect to ignore. The moon was up, as seen by the shadows created. A 30 second exposure allowed the details of the landscape to be revealed, as well as the stars and clouds above. https://www.harrylichtman.com/icelandic-greeters https://images.on-this.website/17160_190927529654c1108fd40c1.jpgIcelandic Greeters These Icelandic Horses were the first Icelanders I came in contact with after arriving in Iceland.
