The sound of water can be so peaceful that it tends to go silent.<br />Cornelius Falls is a nice waterfall that is approx. 40 feet high. This is a peaceful place since the hike here is a little challenging to get to, so it keeps some of the footprints lesser. Like most waterfalls in Arkansas, the water level varies during the wet season, so the experience can vary as well.<br /><br />Heber Springs, Arkansas.<br />Photo # K04_6942-47h3bw.<br />(c) Kelly Shipp<br /><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbynwPZmstL8ogcbIiRMLbhpbYDIg3wjezJ8n-qwxvcP243sURNSr2IShOwgaOkKMsGPnkudUiSbBP0vAIME9iGWrkRCRNwQqrhP-S8EjW8fcRgXRRrsK-MVf4gFAoi_gK1Hf-0gCbgVXI-w6U5_oLkccNyklPURMW-ONBWblfJvCiTCXpwEpfCppCYBI/s870/K04_6942-47h3bw_lr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="870" data-original-width="560" height="569" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbynwPZmstL8ogcbIiRMLbhpbYDIg3wjezJ8n-qwxvcP243sURNSr2IShOwgaOkKMsGPnkudUiSbBP0vAIME9iGWrkRCRNwQqrhP-S8EjW8fcRgXRRrsK-MVf4gFAoi_gK1Hf-0gCbgVXI-w6U5_oLkccNyklPURMW-ONBWblfJvCiTCXpwEpfCppCYBI/w366-h569/K04_6942-47h3bw_lr.jpg" width="366" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Kelly Shipphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08661250244474796097noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5872550243215255413.post-84366418325800365292024-03-13T22:36:00.006-05:002024-03-13T22:36:43.443-05:00 "Between Storms"...<p>I found myself mesmerized by the small white clouds that seemed to be floating on their own.

Even as I viewed this scene through my viewfinder, I could see multiple faces extending from the canyon walls.

It was an extremely windy day where the wind was blowing over 20mph from the east-to-west direction (left-to-right in this photograph). What worried me was the rain storm, from the East, being carried by this front. At the time, I estimated that it was going to run into me before I finished the 4-mile hike. What I didn't know is that the wind was already changing direction, to the North. While resting, I decided to take a long-exposure photograph of my view. Soon afterwards, as I continued my hike, I then realized that I was walking against the wind - it indeed had changed to the North, moving the threatening rain around my return path. I was so happy and relieved that I wasn't going to walk into that storm.<br />What surprised me about this photograph is that it accurately shows the change in the wind direction. You can see on the left-hand side of the photograph how intent the wind was moving left-to-right, but the right side began to move more south-to-north, almost mid-point over the monument.<br /><br />Being over 1,000 feet high, the summit of East Mitten Butte is 6,226 feet in elevation.<br />East Mitten Butte, Navajo Nation Reservation, Monument Valley, AZ.<br />Photo # K04_4989-5037hdrbw.<br />(c) Kelly Shipp<br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKrouEhUbf9EwaKf8v3ua0xn9T6E0W7jhytIEx9q0eXwfBloSLmFxb1LCKZ3fNOLBLtuJQqBcY7b1fZYbh4ueUDblwWnueer3yjVTSHKXRXe9KIQ6arnQyM3zKClBY8uQ-QCY0nbCkc8ECYXzI4DIAYRlLR3yDwf3K9pCpSCVv0ek0bZifafvkBoDJ2Q8/s1200/K04_4989-5037hdrbw_lr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="830" data-original-width="1200" height="381" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKrouEhUbf9EwaKf8v3ua0xn9T6E0W7jhytIEx9q0eXwfBloSLmFxb1LCKZ3fNOLBLtuJQqBcY7b1fZYbh4ueUDblwWnueer3yjVTSHKXRXe9KIQ6arnQyM3zKClBY8uQ-QCY0nbCkc8ECYXzI4DIAYRlLR3yDwf3K9pCpSCVv0ek0bZifafvkBoDJ2Q8/w551-h381/K04_4989-5037hdrbw_lr.jpg" width="551" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Kelly Shipphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08661250244474796097noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5872550243215255413.post-60248843019605429332024-03-03T11:42:00.004-06:002024-03-03T11:42:23.751-06:00 "Snow Clouds and Horses"...<p>Traveling the back highways of Colorado, it was easy to run into snow storms in the high passes.

I braved the 4-mile desert hike in sustained 20 mph winds, gusting to 40 mph, all while praying the rain wouldn't reach me during the hike. Over a mile into the hike, the sun broke through the clouds and provided a wonderful, dramatic view of the East Mitten Butte. <br />Being over 1,000 feet high, the summit of East Mitten Butte is 6,226 feet in elevation. The rocks of the valley are mostly sedimentary, dating from between the Permian to the mid-Jurassic. <br /><br />East Mitten Butte, Navajo Nation Reservation, Monument Valley, AZ.<br />Photo # IM7_1526-36bw.<br />(c) Kelly Shipp<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhED6N-oPluiVdmtM_0wBRSxw8NyuUa0ra7wxxWBtJoxzVMotDUWQpw5NqI_pY9BKWcW7I-YqXKOvVXkBDdBRku4lM6UXs9kyVShIQeM9qtPn5fFgpWqrQ9fGtQfz6o2OMDVr-0zXu_f7M7c67DYDUIjULZtZJU_rad8agrJomMfHTnNZvtBON273PQgNw/s1400/IM7_1526-36bw_lr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="1400" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhED6N-oPluiVdmtM_0wBRSxw8NyuUa0ra7wxxWBtJoxzVMotDUWQpw5NqI_pY9BKWcW7I-YqXKOvVXkBDdBRku4lM6UXs9kyVShIQeM9qtPn5fFgpWqrQ9fGtQfz6o2OMDVr-0zXu_f7M7c67DYDUIjULZtZJU_rad8agrJomMfHTnNZvtBON273PQgNw/w599-h320/IM7_1526-36bw_lr.jpg" width="599" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Kelly Shipphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08661250244474796097noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5872550243215255413.post-73864837938804907032024-02-29T20:16:00.004-06:002024-02-29T20:16:57.424-06:00 "The Distance"...<p>This part of Utah and Arizona offer many infinity highway views.

The sense of wide expanse seems to be even stronger. The rain was chasing me this day on a very windy, 4-mile hike, as you can see from the sun striking the distant monuments. If you look closely, you can see the snow-capped mountains on the horizon.<br /><br />Navajo Nation Reservation, Monument Valley, AZ.<br />Photo # IM7_0648-59bw.<br />(c) Kelly Shipp</p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrd80MN-pzsrP7KAdEZ7-ITRSxxpxjVAWqagIbU5RViXdk-Sxq4JyYp1pS4wJNL6xqAR11Qaz1HJ4loN1WpiFPKoOEZpvQ5bdF9mRMTCHdZqZOrUf0_YgQAH8jEmfFu2ZvoIai6buZNIbXccn1sE-kmg9ruWuC5_4jOlX5-1YseX2-OO87S_HVxKiS8iE/s1600/IM7_0648-59bw_lr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="381" data-original-width="1600" height="144" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrd80MN-pzsrP7KAdEZ7-ITRSxxpxjVAWqagIbU5RViXdk-Sxq4JyYp1pS4wJNL6xqAR11Qaz1HJ4loN1WpiFPKoOEZpvQ5bdF9mRMTCHdZqZOrUf0_YgQAH8jEmfFu2ZvoIai6buZNIbXccn1sE-kmg9ruWuC5_4jOlX5-1YseX2-OO87S_HVxKiS8iE/w608-h144/IM7_0648-59bw_lr.jpg" width="608" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>Kelly Shipphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08661250244474796097noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5872550243215255413.post-50446066188853478282024-02-27T21:09:00.004-06:002024-02-27T21:09:30.369-06:00 "Rock on Fire"...<p>The light in slot canyons are constantly changing and are often very mesmerizing.

This is a dramatic photograph of the formation called "Lady in the Wind". If you look near-center, you can visualize a profile of a lady, facing right, with long hair flowing behind her. Her curves all follow the same flow. The lady formed by millions of years of exposure to wind and water stands beautiful and strong, yet full of soft curves and detail. <br /><br /><br />Lower Antelope Canyon, Arizona.<br />Photo # K04_3632.<br />(c) Kelly Shipp<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHdjNJqhuYiVxQIaUgzmoI35yDhPIugV8Zow_cTCIdtaShzNHCoKCsu_Y3wFpmgDUwz9zNVia7VVeaRX-6OzdOGrHF1cy6ugzhbn2jiZlit5yxt0SQucCYz1SN3ybT1cOd2sSa_9jkVdCozwHPzJiigCaiozUkAG_sdBRE3NW8GZRiQ8nj2HfdhbQG400/s1200/K04_3632_lr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="830" data-original-width="1200" height="370" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHdjNJqhuYiVxQIaUgzmoI35yDhPIugV8Zow_cTCIdtaShzNHCoKCsu_Y3wFpmgDUwz9zNVia7VVeaRX-6OzdOGrHF1cy6ugzhbn2jiZlit5yxt0SQucCYz1SN3ybT1cOd2sSa_9jkVdCozwHPzJiigCaiozUkAG_sdBRE3NW8GZRiQ8nj2HfdhbQG400/w536-h370/K04_3632_lr.jpg" width="536" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Kelly Shipphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08661250244474796097noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5872550243215255413.post-36628785607677782052024-02-25T10:16:00.006-06:002024-02-25T10:37:10.741-06:00 "Ute Mountain Horses" # 2...<p>As I was traveling the back highways of Colorado, near the New Mexico border, I found these wild/range horses as I was photographing the area.

As I previewed this perspective through my lens, I was swept away. Some of you may ask - why isn't this in color? When I was shooting the canyons, I photographed some perspectives in color and some in infrared. What you're seeing in this photograph is a slot canyon that appears as an other-worldly landscape. The infrared captures tones and textures that are above and outside the visible spectrum. The textures and color gradations are impressive. Hope you enjoy. <br /><br />Lower Antelope Canyon, Arizona.<br />Photo # IM6aa_0123bw2n.<br />(c) Kelly Shipp<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgutOUhl64A8-q-XZuT_C8-Foo4FPTw3wMZ6eK9OWsBhaXi0imAmjLTAUB_-8mOwvZltKAbOa7BclAqNcftLnm5s-lXWzNr34DLxkDk12_V6QUlgyd4m5HuNuVof_50-g4cbLXFs4zMxKvKzjRgjVcqleMEodeijrDKqohsBPuBt9SjwRZpnfi5P0FK7vc/s1200/IM6aa_0123bw2n_lr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="830" data-original-width="1200" height="357" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgutOUhl64A8-q-XZuT_C8-Foo4FPTw3wMZ6eK9OWsBhaXi0imAmjLTAUB_-8mOwvZltKAbOa7BclAqNcftLnm5s-lXWzNr34DLxkDk12_V6QUlgyd4m5HuNuVof_50-g4cbLXFs4zMxKvKzjRgjVcqleMEodeijrDKqohsBPuBt9SjwRZpnfi5P0FK7vc/w517-h357/IM6aa_0123bw2n_lr.jpg" width="517" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Kelly Shipphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08661250244474796097noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5872550243215255413.post-66435880646541229212024-02-18T10:01:00.005-06:002024-02-18T10:01:30.920-06:00 "Canyon Landscape"...<p>I found this perspective to have such a wonderful mix of light, color and texture - all in one frame. What appears as a cut-out at the top is actually an overhang on the opposite side, hence the dark shadow under it not receiving any reflected light.<br />I could have spent days there and still not capture everything I wanted to. The light changes so fast and so dramatically, each angle and time of day varies the mood and color. <br />The lower canyon is about 1,400 feet in length and the depth is about 120 feet.

This mountain approximately 750 feet high. The large square boulder in the foreground is referred to as "The Cube", which is approximately 70 feet high. These mountains and stone structures are worth the respect in person. What I found interesting in this composition is the near-alien landscape and impressive perspective.<br /><br />Navajo Nation Reservation, Monument Valley, AZ.<br />Photo # IM7_0331-43_2s.<br /> </p>Kelly Shipphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08661250244474796097noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5872550243215255413.post-87691078318761863652024-01-29T23:07:00.006-06:002024-01-29T23:07:31.722-06:00 "Window Dressing"...<p> "Window Dressing"<br /><br />One aspect of retail that continues to be underappreciated is the retail window displays.

They tend to nest in small natural cavities, nesting boxes, and abandoned woodpecker cavities.<br /><br />Photo # K03_9274m.<br />(c) Kelly Shipp</p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs2F5rzpWoLEQHWdXqrwBytMu9V4ZwQMrih9AZUnHkuSo_B08unmcKrVGK8pk_0Ob6aCao9_YL4ggqK_Z42RF_GZijwQbOjVfMXqMXn92sul5NHHVnGss5fwfmcuTxx31yk4SZwRbrGCXAa-LEfQEO0HwFDYlj25xgyBqbJy6LyCUnIsxPTVjlk0YvbFQ/s1200/K03_9274m_lr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="587" data-original-width="1200" height="294" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs2F5rzpWoLEQHWdXqrwBytMu9V4ZwQMrih9AZUnHkuSo_B08unmcKrVGK8pk_0Ob6aCao9_YL4ggqK_Z42RF_GZijwQbOjVfMXqMXn92sul5NHHVnGss5fwfmcuTxx31yk4SZwRbrGCXAa-LEfQEO0HwFDYlj25xgyBqbJy6LyCUnIsxPTVjlk0YvbFQ/w600-h294/K03_9274m_lr.jpg" width="600" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Kelly Shipphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08661250244474796097noreply@blogger.com0
