This is not a landscape. However I seldom shoot cityscapes so I included it in my dusting off series here. Obviously in NYC not far from ground zero the liked the Oculus wing tip arching over the half last flag. Leica M10+R-L adapter+R 19mm f2.8 lens.

I just like sand dunes. Here’s another image from Eureka Dunes in Death Valley. It is one of the few captures I like taken outside the dunes versus climbing up and in these dunes which requires a lot of hiking-you know taking 3 steps forward and 1-2 steps drifting backwards.

Back to the Oregon coastline where the number of captures is phenomenal with the various stacks up and down the coast, not too mention different times of the day. This sunset appealed while occurring between two small stacks. Alpa STC/IQ3100/S-K 150.

Irish marshland during outgoing tide. The sky looked like rain and the leading lines of the water trails drew me to capture this scene. Alpa STC/IQ3100 Achromatic.HR40mm/ISO200.

Mono Lake, CA sunrise. Some mornings the sky has no clouds and then other mornings like this one you get drama in the sky. Of course the silhouettes of the tufas give an image mystery. One of my favorite places.
Alpa STC/IQ3100/HR40/ISO 50.

White Sands, NM. This is a very unusual place in that then entire dunes are not sand, but gypsum. There is an article on this site detailing how this gypsum field came about. Entitled “why are the Sands White? January 18 , 2020 under Articles/Nature.
This image was taken in midday which can be a no-no, but the yucca shadow is why I took the image. Leica M9/21 f1.4 lens converted to B&W in LR.

Sometimes one gets a nice sunrise in Miami Beach. This is the iconic life guard tower and luckily no one was stirring this morning so I had the beach to myself. It seems strange to look for a few miles North and a few miles South and see no one but a few seagulls. Not even joggers this morning which was many weeks befog COVID-19 became a menace.

This is a scape, just not a strict landscape but a cityscape. Near ground zero at one of the most interesting new buildings in NYC, the Oculus. The reason I am fond of this image is the in this morning light two shadows appeared on the individuals walking by me. One directly from the bright sunlight and shadow from the reflection off a building nearby. I have never noticed this before while in NYC. Leica M10+19mm R lens.

Taken in Southern Utah. It looks like a rock head and another large rock in its shadow where both these large boulders fell from the huge rock outgrowth above many, many years ago. Leica M9/90 f2.0 Summicron.
Re: Dusting off the Hard DrivesReply #9 on: May 24, 2020 at 9:05 am#30 I can’t believe it has been one month of these daily postings including postings in the “Street” section too. Other than Kevin who looks at these postings, I just wonder if others appreciate the thread or not.
So this image was captured in Ireland on an overcast and wet day with fog all around. Old cemetaries are usually a must see for me since some gravestones are unique. This Maltese cross attracted me here along with the old abandoned church. It might have been abandoned because the cemetery grounds were full. Alpa STC/IQ3100 Achromatic/HR40/ISO 200 (base)

Back into Antelope Canyon with a different day and a different angle of the sun shaft into the canyon. This is such a wonderful place to capture dramatic images. Leica M9/Zeiss 18mm f4.0 lens.
