“Johnny” - Lamar Jackson

Pic of the day

#photography

The sawtooth mountains of an Alaskan mountain range just south of Denali. Tall pines adorn the foreground.

Lamar Jackson famously tweeted Johnny as the correct answer to one of those stupid viral tweets and the Baltimore Ravens went on a historic win streak.

I love the themes on Friday. Especially #Scape day. Because I shoot landscapes all the time. This beauty is called Naked Springs. Yes, that is its real name. I've snorkeled it often. But it is now off limits for swimming. #photography #landscape #EastCoastKin #longexposure #springs #ForestFriday

A dig back into the archives for one of the numerous photos that I took of waterfalls in Croatia.
#WaterfallWednesday #WaterWednesday #Photography #EastCoastKin

Several narrow waterfalls are cascading into a turquoise coloured lake. Above the cliff, and to the sides of the lake, are trees of different shades of green. On each side, branches are hanging over the lake.

The warm evening glow lit up this ancient oak woodland in glorious warm light, turning it into what I’d call heaven. Each oak almost looks to be reaching up to the sky.

On Dartmoor stands an ancient oak woodland that defies reality, with moss covered trunks and boulders at their feet. Here in autumn, the warm sunset illuminates the scenery in golden light.

Do you know how much money we could save if we allowed corporate sponsors for our military aircraft?

Heavily Branded Fighter Jet
This is a photograph of a fighter jet, likely an F-16 Fighting Falcon (based on its silhouette), parked on an airfield at sunset or sunrise, with a mountain range in the background.
The most striking feature of the jet is its unique, heavily branded livery. The entire aircraft, from the nose to the tail, is covered in a dense, collage-like array of corporate and product logos. These logos appear to be vinyl decals or stickers, creating a highly commercialized, 'sponsored' look, similar to a race car or a NASCAR vehicle.
Key Visual Details:
Aircraft: A single-engine fighter jet, painted primarily in black or a very dark gray. It is static on the tarmac.
Branding: Prominent logos visible include:
Coca-Cola (large, in white script on the fuselage and intake)
Google (large, on the fuselage and near the intake)
Microsoft
Amazon
Apple
Samsung
Visa
Ford
Red Bull
Monster Energy
NASCAR (text visible near the tail)
SPACEX (visible near the cockpit)
Personnel: A single person, dressed in what appears to be a flight suit or military uniform, is visible standing next to the jet's engine intake, looking toward the cockpit. Another figure, likely the pilot, is sitting inside the canopy.
Setting: The jet is on a paved airfield or ramp. The background features a dramatic mountain range silhouetted against a sky illuminated by a warm golden-hour light (either a soft sunrise or sunset). The lighting suggests a warm, arid, high-desert environment.

I just loved the forms of the trees in this wood, adorned with countless other plants growing on them. An incredible sight to see and photograph!

#autumn #dartmoor #woodland #nature #photography

The ancient oaks of Dartmoor are gnarled and full of life, from fungi, lichen and ferns growing throughout. The colours are fabulous in autumn, from greens to yellows, and even orange. I just loved capturing these scenes.

A female kestrel is a slender, chestnut-brown falcon with dark streaked plumage and a barred tail, hovering gracefully over fields in search of prey.

One of the most exciting sunsets I've captured. A thunderstorm came rolling in just as the clouds started to change color. Smith Rock State Park in Oregon.

I've posted similar images for #Stunday. I stood in knee deep water with a couple friends and opened the shutter many times for somewhere between 15 and 30 seconds hoping to catch oak leaves doing their fall dance on the water. #photography #landscape #EastCoastKin #oaktrees #trees #longexposure

Golden sunlight just about broke through in this wonderful autumnal scene. The oak tree on the left looked like it had been in a fight, having lost several huge branches over the years.
