Psychedelic rainbow over Mount Everest This is an event that is extremely rare to be seen among these mountains, yet one photographer, Oleg Bartunov, managed to be in the perfect place and the perfect time. Many others had visited Mount Everest, but none had been as lucky to be here at the same as Bartunov. It is said that this marvel is created from tiny ice crystals that are found within the center of these clouds –

Nature is awesome; triple lightning strikes on this skyline.

Hi all, I thought I would post some pictures of my recent trip to Nevada.

This one and my avatar are the same species(Northern Sagebrush Lizard) but different lizard. These little buggers are about 5 inches long from tip of the nose to the tip of their tails.


This is rafting on the Colorado River


Here is my very first UFO pic. There were no aircraft flying around that day and I only saw them after putting this pic on my computer. There was nothing on my lens because they do not show on the pics before or after. Any guesses as to what they are?


Northern Nevada countryside







This monster dandelion is as big as a softball lol


I will post some more when the page changes as photobucket only allows so much bandwidth to show at a time.

Open2Truth, that's an awesome pic mate.


Here's an interesting one taken by Russian divers:

A scuba divers swims under thick ice covering a flooded former quarry. The rays of sunshine can be seen bursting through a hole cut into the ice. The light also radiates along a series of lines on the surface of the ice, created by clearing away some of the settled snow. Divers use the circles and lines above to help them find their way back to the hole in Ekaterinburg, Russia.

Cheers.

Even with nature photography I tend to place a person in the shot for scale.

Wow, what an awesome place! Would love to see more if you have the time. Looks like a great place to just zone out, sit back and be alone with your thoughts.

You are so right. This is a wilderness reserve so there are zero services therefore zero people (usually).
Over six days we made a giant loop along the rim then down into the canyon then then back up 40 miles further down. The tricky part is finding a way back up. We actually look at 3D models of the area for weeks before we go on our hikes.

We prefer the "cross country" type hiking because there is less of a safety net which really puts you on point.





This last one shows what you are dealing with down in the canyon, You look for formations like this when you want to get back up. From this point it was 8 miles up this crag to the rim, Took two days. Can you see my hiking buddies in the lower left? One with the blue shirt, One obscured by the tree.
