A serene pathway winds its way through a lush grassy area, surrounded by tall trees that create a canopy overhead. In the distance, majestic mountains rise up against the sky, creating a stunning backdrop. The dominant colors of the scene are green and black, with hints of blue in the sky. The landscape exudes a sense of wilderness and natural beauty, with a mix of spruce and larch trees adding to the charm. This tranquil scene captures the essence of a peaceful forest setting, perfect for hiki…

I took this #photo when I thought that I'd be almost there. - Because I had mostly looked about the elevation. But as you might see on the photo, the way flattens a bit towards the summit.

A trail winds its way through a lush, grassy area, with the vibrant green vegetation creating a serene natural landscape. The sky above is a clear, brilliant blue, dotted with fluffy white clouds. Trees line the path, providing shade and a sense of tranquility. A rock juts out from the grass, adding a touch of ruggedness to the otherwise peaceful scene. In the distance, a rocky hillside is covered with more trees and bushes, blending seamlessly with the surrounding wilderness. This idyllic sett…

The Ports of New York Winery looks like it was part of the set for a cowboy movie
#photo #photography #buildings #ithaca

A tall (relative to it's width) building with faded wood siding made of thin boards has elaborate details on the edge of a flat roof and doors that look like they came out of cowboy movies with a single light above it hanging from below a set of three windows with a flat bottom and curved top, each divided into many panes, matching the curve of the windows are the words PORTS of NEW YORK and the woed WINERY is above the doors which have the street number 163 on them.

Rose of Sharon in the Flats of Ithaca -- I saw a lot of these when I was walking about this Monday

Two flowers with five big white petals and a red core and a structure in the middle a lot like a hibiscus, the one at the top is in prefect focus, the one below it is somewhat defocused, way in the background you can barely make out cars on the road

Ithaca falls on a really bright day -- I want to come back on a cloudy day and get some shots that include a really neat cairn that was in a dark shadow this time.

Roughly the bottom half is a shallow but wide creek with a few rocks visible above the water and others visible below the water, a little bit of a vegetated bank comes in at the middle left. The main event is a tall waterfall of brown rock with a large number of cascades on it; there are a lot of trees to the left, with a fall kind of green that was real, not just color graded, and an almost perfectly clear blue sky above it.

Two woman look small relativet to a big forest, one near the center has her hair in a red kerchief and wears a blue blouse and long blue and white pleated skirt, another halfway to the left has ringlets and is stretched out horizontally by the ewide angle lens and has a red vest and jeans. They are standing on a dirt trail and there is a patch of small vegetation to the left but the to the right and the rear tall trees.

Queen Anne's Lace looks like a galaxy of clusters of flowers that tile together irregularly
