Heyjude

I have lived in the UK for most of my life, but when young I definitely had wanderlust and even ended up living in South Africa for several years which was a wonderful experience. I now look forward to a long and leisurely retirement doing what I like most - gardening, photography, walking and travelling.

  3. Truly grand…and absolutely, the line of cars make you realize its scale. Thanks for posting.

      1. Jude sometimes I worry I am developing early onset dementia. Apologies yes that is what I meant. Either dementia or the attention span of a gnat. Either is not great.

        1. I just didn’t want you to end up in Yellowstone and stand there wondering what the hell I had been photographing!

          AND I would like to visit Yellowstone – I hope I do get the opportunity to do that, and then I will be satisfied with my US visits. Their NPs are very, very good.

        2. That would make a funny post ending up at the wrong NP. 🙂 yes both would be good visits and I will be sure to keep them straight!

  6. You’ve been everywhere! Did you scale great heights? It’s a fabulous shot – I find grand scale one of the hardest things to capture. If I were entering a shot it would have to be Stalin’s Gift, still taller than any other Warsaw building.

    1. Haha, not quite everywhere Meg, but I was fortunate to accompany the OH to the US on several winter trips, so I did little add-ons each time to a new place. Rather liked this one 🙂

  9. Ahh…another of my favourites. Magnificant Yosemite, pefect for ‘scale’ this Jude. What could be on a greater scale than this view? Spellbinding, so clever how you got this shot at this distance with the cars in front. They look like ants 🙂

    1. We weren’t that far away either, so I’m glad I managed to get the sense of scale into the photo. It’s awe inspiring to be standing in that meadow with those cliffs all around.

  10. Perfect for this challenge Jude those tiny vehicles look like matchbox toys a great contrast to the magnificence of the mountain
