A panoramic image of Wedge Lake, with the incredible #RockyMountains of #Canada in the background. I've only visited this lake twice (in memory), once in winter, and one during this late fall day. It might be one of the easiest "epic" view road stops in that […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@CStamp/116540393416454667 This is way too true, and 100% a fault of the US media machine. It's a failure of good journalism, and of human decency.

New Photos? YES! New Photos. I'm finally catching up - This image was taking this past February during an incredible foggy week. I named it after the tree shown on the cover of #EldenRing because well, it reminded me greatly of it. Such an incredible and […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Mount Monolith might be part of the most unique mountain ranges I've visited. In the high northern Tundra these mountains weren't formed by your usual tectonic plates pushing up on each other, but by the volcanoes that erupted underneath ancient glaciers […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Reminder - it's Bandcamp Friday today! That's where 100% of the funding goes direct to the artists. I decided to splurge and grabbed 3 albums and 2 EPs. #BandcampFriday #bandcamp

It only took me two years - but, I've finally published my Drakensberg Trip Report Blog, recounting favourite and daily memories from my multi-day #BackPacking trip across the #SouthAfrica #Mountain range. If you'd like to read about it, and see some of the […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Meet George :) Paperwork is still being finalized, but, by the end of the day this lil (big) guy will be part of the family! He's a rescue, found in Saskatchewan last winter. We've had him for a week already and he's pretty well settled which has been great […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

An additional image to my post yesterday - this incredible carving is hidden in plain sight, next to the concrete jungle of downtown #Vancouver. Carved into a massive trunk it feels like the face of an old tree spirit or protector of the forests here […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

A favourite image from my #BackPacking trip to #Yukon in 2022. I had planned the trip for end of August hoping we would be on the trail during the incredible transition from summer to fall colours - we may have arrived a week early, but, on our hike out the […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@geoff_eg/116397647906193721 Fun fact about this image - this was the first large size print I did. It was certainly intimidating getting an international order for a 2m wide paper print! Thankfully, I was able to find a local printer in Australia so that I could […]

Happy #MountainMonday everyone :) Today I share a favourite from a trip years ago into the high mountains of the Assiniboine Range in #Canada during fall when the golden larches were at their absolute peak. The golden larches dotting the landscape in golden […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

I almost missed #WildlifeWednesday so, here is a last minute submission - a cute female mallard resting in a small pond. Despite being general jerks, and very common, Mallards are actually one of my favourite ducks. The females have that incredibly gorgeous […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Black and white peaks from the #Haute-Alps in #France this last January. One of my favorite modes of photography is riding around on my snowboard with a telephoto lens! Double the fun. More photos from our trip here: www.mountainphotography.com/gallery/larc... #MountainPhotography #BlackAndWhite

Something to brighten your Tuesday. A gorgeous ethereal tree I photographed this past fall during a heavy spell of mist and fog. To me, it reminded me of the Erdtree you see in #EldenRing video game on the games cover. #ThickTrunkTuesday #photography #Skyrim […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Citadel (2022) I edited this image last night. I've been trying to crack it's puzzle for years and failed, struggling with it's colours and tones. I desperately wanted an epic shot here when I visited #Yukon in 2022, I'd scoured maps to find a suitable […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Dusting at the Edge of the Forest (2021) #silentsunday

It's no secret that I've been struggling, and my therapist said I need to find things to keep me busy, so I created the @cdnspace Artemis II dashboard. I reverse-engineered the Unity Engine powering the NASA AROW visualization and found an absolute treasure trove of data to display. Little did […]

The sister series of my other post - Patterns of Africa This series was taken more intentionally. With the many gorgeous #Animal patterns of the #SouthAfrica #Wildlife I wanted to capture as many as I could, isolated in a way that only showed the cool […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

April 1st really does make you feel like the butt-end of a joke... When I was in #Africa, what started as a joke ended up making a goofy series images. I named them "The South End of Africa". A play on the fact that I was in #SouthAfrica as well and well […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

The Sphinx II (2022) I took this shot in the high alpine meadows just south of #Jasper #Alberta, in a park that few actually visit in this mountain region. My sibling had suggested we go backpacking through this area on a weekend trip we had the opportunity […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

I've been more or less absent here the last few weeks — for good reason. Lots of travel, lots of photography, and lots of hosting workshops! Anyway, here's a new image from my time in Death Valley National Park the other week at a very remote dune field. It was fast […] [Original post on mas.to]

The original plan was to bike to the ferry, take it to Langdale and then to Sechelt and back... My friend slept in and we missed the ferry by 10min. So, instead we decided we could still make it "brag" worthy and proceeded to bike across the entire waterfront […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

RE: https://flipboard.com/@cbcnews/edmonton-5aq1688az/-/a-Jet5UA3oSOi_u6b-aAgm4Q%3Aa%3A107108217-%2F0 I'm only ~186cm tall, and this is a problem I've struggled with for my entire adult life. My knees are often tender or partially bruised at the end of a flight, and I can usually feel the […]

Millcreek Ravine One of the greatest blessings in my life is the abundant access to nature and natural places. This has been unquestionably enhanced by my love for #Photography as it pushes me to search for these quiet natural places, pushing the […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Honey Mushrooms (2023) Maybe a slightly uncomfortable image, but I see these #Mushrooms everywhere in our local #Forests and so I really wanted to try capturing the way they stack in these closely packed bunches. Due to the recent rains this bunch didn't […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Can we please make realtors the first jobs we try to replace with humanoid robots? Worst case it works great and we're all out of jobs in 10 years. Best case it doesn't, but, the realtors are hurt in the process and we can all celebrate that a little bit.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@CStamp/116291864429662661 My personal advice - use a password manager, and make every password and username different. Make sure your master password is at least 25 characters long (a short sentence/statement is often easy to remember and long enough. Throw a number […]

Apricity (2022): the warmth of the sun. Although some definitions suggest it is specific to the warmth of the sun in the Winter, I've always just know it as the warmth of the sun on a cold day. Despite the summer look, I took this photo on a cool October […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@geoff_eg/116291764512158971 And yes, I've tried Karrot, and a others. But, for reasons unknown the listings there will get absolutely zero responses.

One of the worst things to happen in the last 10 years is the replacement of craigslist with facebook marketplace - not that craigslist was incredible, but, at minimum I didn't have to associate a public profile with it or be subject to reviews by angry buyers that can't read an listing properly.

I personally consider "I asked ChatGPT to generate a response to you" not witty but a form of an insult. Don't do that please. If that is how you want to talk to people at least don't tell me. It's offensive.

Tried to log in to #strava today... Apparently it's been so long they deleted my account 😅 oops.

Some views from yesterday's skintrack up cardio hill. A winter storm is set to drop up to a meter of additional cascade flake. But for now, its still quite low tide at middle elevations, definitely bounced off the reef once in a fit of irrational exuberance on the […] [Original post on mas.to]

One of the problems with our society is that when deciding on transportation safety policy we ask ourselves "how many deaths are acceptable before we modify the design" instead of "why was a death even possible". #policy #transportation

The Light We Cannot See (2022) I named this image after a statement a friend made upon seeing it. We had gotten up early and met at a local park with the intent of shooting #landscapephotography together - at the end of the day they felt that had failed to […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Oyster Mushrooms are one of my favorite's to find in the forest. They taste good, look good, and are common enough that I can feel like a serious "forager" aha #mushrooms #photography #fungi #macrophotography

It's always cute when she tries to challenge my reading comprehension 😍... Anyways, who does a better burger; A&W, FatBurger, or Wendy's?... Asking for a friend.
