Ukraine. Crimea.

Picture taken on the upper plateau.

Chater-Dag - Massif (mountain pasture), located in the southern part of the Crimean peninsula, 10 km from the sea, the fifth tallest in the Crimea belongs to the main ridge of the Crimean mountains. Previously was not remotely from the main ridge, stood out as a result of erosion from Babugana rivers Ulu Uzen and Alma from Demerji Dolgorukovskaya plateau and the Angara River. Consists of a lower and upper plateau (plateau). On the upper plateau are two peaks: Eastern - Hangar-breaker (1453 m) and western - Eklizi-breaker (1527 m). The length of the plateau from north to south - 10 miles wide from east to west - about 4 miles.

Like cute clouds over the mountain, and an hour later it would be the approach of a very strong storm. For life remember the descent from the mountain when there are lightning flashes. But! I will go back there again and again.

Lower Yellowstone Falls as seen from Artist Point at sunset on July 9th, 2013. The Grand Canyon of Yellowstone National Park is an incredible sight.

Artist Point was so by named Frank Jay Haynes who incorrectly this spot along the south rim as the location from which Thomas Moran sketched the lower falls in 1872. Those sketches were later determined to have been made from the north rim of the canyon, but the name stuck.

Shot as a vertical panorama at six levels of exposure (0.25 sec to 8 sec).

Taken on the peak of Mount Pilatus.

At first I just wanted to capture the valley, then I spotted a goat sitting in the grass. The goat must have felt uncomfortable having me so close by. It stood up and walked away. But for a few seconds it was looking down the valley, just the way I wanted it for the picture.
