Mysterious Landscapes

An Ancient Landing.

If this picture were taken three hundred million years ago we would be floating on a vast shallow ocean gazing off in the distance toward the staggering Himalyan sized mountains of Acadian range glowing in the light of a meteor tearing toward space. Of course we are at the impact site, so let's get back to the present!
This picture was taken on June 6, 2017 from a point on the Panther Mountain ridge several hundred yards from the summit. The gentle swelling rises below us sit upon the crater base, the dark mountains in the distance are the rim of the 7 mile diameter crater impact site. You can read more of this in my upcoming posts on Panther mountain.

To my Steemit explorer friends,

I have probably taken over a million photographs of the natural world since childhood; this is a daily series of some of those I most treasure.

Where They are From

1. Many are from an organic orchard that I created on the hill above my home. When you are raising trees from saplings you are out in all weather at all hours and see remarkable things.

2. Some are from my art studio and my efforts there- especially those on behalf of the Tibetan people.

3. Still others are from my wanderings in the wilderness with compass and map my companions. Many are featured from posts I have created here on Steemit and I will link to those whenever possible if you wish to read more of the how, when and where.

Please upvote if you liked this post, and follow for more journeys through our mysterious and amazing world. And please comment as I greatly value these and will answer any questions you may have (and generally go to look at your posts of course since I consider a group of friends the most valuable possible outcome from efforts on Steemit.
