“Mystical” This water fall is one of several water falls that form "Albas Falls" , near the lakeside community of Seymour Arm, British Columbia. I've visited Albas Falls many times and have often considered that if it were near a major highway, it wouldn't be quite so majestic (it would be inundated with tourists). In south, central British Columbia, it can be found off-grid by approximately 30 kilometers (19 miles), and one has to be prepared for a (sometimes) rough ride. The trail that leads to the falls starts at the bottom (on Shuswap lake) and loops around the many spectacular falls that make up Albas Falls. I've hiked this trail many times with friends and family but on this day I was prepared and by myself, and then I took my time to consider the shot. That said however it took a good dose of patience (it was a mostly cloudy day) and luck (the angle of the sun hitting the mist). There had been days of (much needed) rain prior to this day so the water spilling over the falls was intense, and loud! It too was very slippery and even though I was wearing a good pair of hiking boots, I took a good tumble. I saved my camera though (!) and when I saw this photo I considered my many bruises worth it! LOL Off I go, on to my next adventure! Watch for more photos to come in the coming weeks
Superstition Mountain. Apache Junction, Arizona. Do notice how blue the mountain is. This phenomena is the result of the shade (combined with the light colored mountain), picking up the color of the sky. That said, the sky was very vivid and the desert floor was very green because of all the rain in the days prior to this photo shoot. What this photo doesn't show are the many homes in the area. Imagine seeing these bands of sunlight every morning (photo taken Nov. 30thl, 2020)!
