Changing Latitudes In Color

From Alaska to the Falkland Islands and multiple countries in Africa, I have been fortunate to experience some very special places. I have assembled a potpourri of some photos that I took while changing latitudes. The intent of this collection is to create an environment where the viewer can let the mind wander, and perhaps create a feeling of awe for our beautiful planet. To see the text that goes with each photo view in the largest format possible. To remove the text from the image click the chevron at the bottom of the page.

  • A. C. Bent (1932) wrote of the Mountain Bluebird: "As it flies from some low perch to hover like a big blue butterfly over an open field, it seems to carry on its wings the heavenly blue of the clearest sky, and one stands entranced with the purity of its beauty."

  • Gas escaping from deep within the earth exits through red mud of low viscosity, blasting the mud into the air, forming interesting shapes that last only seconds. It takes a camera to freeze these structures in time. They happen too fast for the human eye to see them clearly.

    DSC_0823.jpg
  • Hot water bubbles out of the top of Chocolate Pots Hot Spring beside the Gibbon river. Just by looking at the cone you can tell where the hottest water flows (yellow) and where the cooler water flows (orange). In the springtime during the snow melt, more water escapes from the top and more of the cone is colorful. It is part of the Gibbon Geyser Basin.

    DSC_8338.jpg
  • Violet Green Sawllows are colorful little birds, but the color is best seen in photographs.  They fly so fast that is difficult for the human eye to see the color patterns.

  • "If you let hydrogen gas alone for 13 billion years it will become giraffes, rose bushes and humans." - Brian Swimme
    DSC_8373.jpg
  • Pronghorn are not adapted for deep snow.  It robs them of their speed, their primary protection from predators, and makes it difficult to find food.
    DSC_8385.jpg
  • A wall at Mammoth Hot Springs gives the feeling of a watercolor painting.  Taken at a slow shutter speed, the water looks silky and the steam being given off by the hot water acts as a filter to soften the look of the rocks.
