Smith Mountain and Distant Views of the Northwest Mojave Ranges (Death Valley National Park) by Mark Stevens
Via Flickr:
While walking the Dantes View Trail with a view looking to the south in Death Valley National Park. My thought on composing this image was to use the ridge I was on as a leading line into the image and then down the mountainside to the basin and valley below. While I did want to angle my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward to bring out more of a sweeping view, I was also limited by how much because of the sun's position in the sky and minimizing any artifacts across the camera lens.

Another great hike I did in May was a circumnavigation around Brown Mountain. Here're a few photos from that day, as well as the words I wrote about it at the time:
Yesterday, I did a seventeen-mile loop around Brown Mountain. I'd done this hike once before, four years ago and in the summer, and I was curious to see how different the forest was in the spring. I didn't account for the amount of a) snow and b) deadfall I'd encounter, but I still made good time and got to enjoy a lot of creeks and wildflowers that don't exist at that elevation in July. Plus, as the day went on, Mount McLoughlin showed off more and more.
Had a nice impromptu lunch with a three-generation family of hikers and their heeler mixes (!), and still got home in time for quiche and tons of pancakes, courtesy of @lrae_art and @kagephd, respectively.

more dweebs (Very detailed image description below.)
a drawing of grian, ethoslab, tangotek, and smallishbeans. grian is in his season 10 fishing skin and the rest are in different outfits referencing their base themes.
grian is in his fishing skin looking very tired with his fishing rod swung over his shoulder and an ear pierced with a brassy fish hook. he’s a cod hybrid with fin-ears and a stubby tail. behind him blue snail is munching on some leaves.
etho is posing with a neck sheepishly behind his neck and the other resting on his bag. he’s in the postal uniform polo with a green, canadian maple-themed yukata loosely worn and slipping off his shoulder. he has fingerless gloves on under. he is wearing dark red pleated pants and light green heeled crocs. he has a black and red messenger bag with a trellis motif. etho is an arctic fox hybrid with brown legs and streaks through his hair. doodles below show what his paws look like under the crocs and one shows him posing with a note saying “ties up sleeves.” above him another note reads “streaks bc his winter coat is shedding.”
tango is posing confidently with a wrench. he is in the postal uniform polo, with chunky brown and orange gloves and boots, topped off with red, pinstriped overalls. one strap is not around his shoulder, and on the belt around the overalls they carry a small bag, a screwdriver, and a vial of redstone. he has on brown goggles with blue lenses. tango has fire for hair and pointed ears. above him there’s a doodle of the messenger bag that’s secured on his back. it shows how the orange straps tuck over the whole outfit and lead to a dark red and pinstripe blue bag with cog detailing.
joel is giving an indignant pose like he’s complaining. he is wearing a black undershirt that fades out into his light green claws, a pink kimono with only one sleeve of cherry blossom patterns, and a dark grey vest and cherry blossom-patterned obi tie it off. the vest has a cherry blossom crest on the back. joel also has on dark pink pants with a cherry blossom motif on the bottom and on his left arm there’s a bracer with a screen built in. crawling all over the undershirt there are cybernetic patterns connecting joel’s skin through to the undershirt. joel is a tanuki, hence why he has a leaf on his head. around joel are doodles showing the crest on the back of his vest and the pattern on the sleeve.

Feeling Life’s Energy While Exploring Death Valley National Park by Mark Stevens
Via Flickr:
While walking back along the Dantes View Trail with a view looking to the south and parking area and then where the trail continues along the ridge. This is in Death Valley National Park. Here I chose to use the ridge as it went into the image as kind of a leading line with a view beyond to the Death Valley Basin below and then more distant peaks. There was still some morning haze present with the more distant views, but I was able to use the DxO PhotoLab 6 ClearView Plus tool to help bring out some of the details for the final image.
