Beautiful, what mountain is that, Lamplight? I have a passion for volcanoes going back to my early childhood. Someday I plan on doing a Cascade volcano trip starting here in Northern California with Mount Konocti at Clear lake on highway 20, then head to I-5 and see Sutters Buttes, an ancient volcano, then head to Redding for the beginning of the Cascade range with Lassen and Shasta on up to Washington. I have done the California part so far.
I honestly don't know which mountain it is, or what that range is. It's directly north of Bellingham, and I know it's in Canada, but that's all I know.

Whatever mountains they are, it makes a beautiful background for a wonderful photo. I love the saturated colors on the buidings. It could be a Bellingham postcard.
Well, we don't see one every day, that's for sure. But with a little effort there's a photo op at least once or twice a year.
This particular image was selected precisely because it is a full profile side view. It's a little harder to get as generally they are either coming at you, away from you or at least watching you, The shape of the neck and head is unique among bears, so capturing it in full profile is significant. Likewise the texture of the fur is of great interest.
That's a resampled version of a print I did yesterday. It's a 16x20 canvas gallery wrap and was sized at 19x23 inches (8280x6840, which included the white border) and sharpened for that size. So it's been up sampled, edited, and then down sampled and the title added.
It was shot last May, and along with this one several others have been printed, almost all of which have the bears looking straight at the camera. Below is the one from that day that gets the most attention.
This is from a couple years ago. Another bear that was intent on having me for dinner. In this case just as I was about to vacate the vicinity a truck came down the path and distracted him so that I could continue shooting.
That's some picture. Is the guy on the right ready with a rifle, just in case?
Here's one I almost entered in the monthly contest, but then thought, well, it just looks like a hill with trees. To lend some scale, the trees on the left would take three grown men to put their arms all the way around them. Climbing up the hillside of the mound is very steep. You don't want to lose your footing because you'll be rolling down.
This is taken near the Metal Museum by the I-55 bridge in Memphis. Some say the mounds were built for different reasons: burials, observation platforms, places of worship. The dark spot on the right of the hill is a bricked up opening. Some of these sites were said to be used as places to hide arms and other valuables in tunnels during the Civil War.
To my surprise the top has a large indentation with an oak tree growing out of the middle. I'd post it, but only one picture a day. The tree directly in front of you is the one growing out of the top of the mound.
BTW how come almost no one here enters the contests? There are some great shots in this thread. Maybe I should stop. I never win.
Wow, EG. That's impressive! Did you at least use the self-timer?
