The beauty of twilight, night touched by day, light fading into dark, a world barely visible, glowing, a world we never imagined.....

The magnificent dead trees of Deadvlei contrast against a towering red dune, clothed in warm twilight that is so special in Namibia. A surreal, uniquely beautiful scene, so typical of this amazing country!

The deeply contorted lands of Namibia give rise to some truly unusual and otherworldly landscapes. This particular evening, fierce winds were blowing, and the combination of twilight and windblown dust blessed us with exceptional light, transforming these strange lands into the surreal.

The dunes in Namibia's Sossusvlei are all sand, except this one, and the beautiful interplay of the protruding rocks and textured sand comes to its full expression when clothed in dusk's soft, warm twilight.

The quality of light in Namibia is like none I have encountered anywhere else. It transforms Namibia's unique, at times surreal, landscapes into a world of dreams. A world of layers, punctuated by beautiful acacia trees, is painted in magical light which brings out the hidden, rich colors and textures of distant mountains.⁠

Doing double duty for both #FlyDay and #WeekMforMemories
One of my most memorable experiences was watching what I called a Snow Goose Blizzard. The sight and the sound was incredible. I was simply gob smacked as many thousands of birds all took to the air at once.

Arriving at the Klamath Wildlife Refuge we noticed a flurry of activity as thousands of white geese all suddenly took to the air at once. The sound of them honking and wings flapping was astounding, not to mention the sight of it all. A miraculous experience I'll likely never forget. There were other birds including Sandhill Cranes, but this wild flight was just the opening event it seemed.

How about having Mt Shasta for a backdrop?
But wait....

There were Sandhill Cranes out there as well.

Sandhill Cranes is flight.
I was completely hooked on bird watching at this point.

What if the horizon beyond the sea were not the end of sight, but a mouth awaiting all things?

PHOTO by Andrew Neel. Calm ocean waves stretch into the distance beneath a pastel sky that fades from soft pink near the horizon to a pale blue above. A nearly full moon hangs quietly in the upper right, casting a subtle glow. The vastness of sea and sky merges at the horizon, evoking stillness and quiet space.

I believe the one on the left is a juvenile, so just hasn't grown in adult feathers yet
