Our National Parks, regardless of country, are some of the most beautiful places in the world. We can certainly enjoy the beauty of these parks, especially when it is the most colorful. These photos are, as you can see from the above photo, are a collection of photos from various National Parks around the world. Enjoy.
We were on our way up Angel’s Landing at Zion National Park in Utah. It felt like the hike would never end but looking up to our final 0.5 miles was breathtaking and mesmerizing. This is what I saw. —- Photo by Sapan Patel on Unsplash

When we think about the subject “Nature”, just what does that entail? That is what will make this collection of photos so cool, is that it encompasses things like scenery, close-ups, animals, things that are unique with the earth, or things we only notice with a macro lens, and many wonderful things not created by man. Let’s take a look at this week’s collection of winning photography:

There are amazing photos that go around on the internet, whether they be from personal photographers, or from free photo websites, or social media. As I browse through the various photos on the internet, I see some that just need special recognition. This week’s “PHOTOS OF THE WEEK” is a collection of photos that I have randomly collected to show you. They are all just amazing photos, and some are somewhat newsworthy. The above photo, I thought, was a photo of the crazy fires going on in California and Oregon, only to find out that this a photo of the fire in Tasmania last year (2020). The face of the world is changing with these fires, and some great photos have been coming forth from those fires.
Here is some more amazing photos, I am sure you will enjoy:

You know there are some wonderful “portrait” photographers, who, for some reason, hardly ever get their photos out in the world for people to enjoy. And they will even go to websites where they can post their portraits on a free basis just to get their name out there, and to give examples of some of the great work they do.
Today, on the “Photos of the Week” we will put together some amazing portraits from some real good photographers. Fun to see the beauty in people.
There is a lesson to be learned in posting all these portraits. This is a “training session”. As I was posting these portraits, the thing that made the best portraits stand out, were the ones with great lighting. The photographer knew his or her stuff well, and used the best possible lighting to enhance the portraits of these people. True skill, and it’s a good lesson in all of these photos today.
Above you will see 51 different photo subjects. I never knew there was so many different subjects in photography. BUT…. I have done a special “teaching and learning blog” on all of them, up to BIRDS. I will be doing that one tomorrow, and as you can see, there is only a few left. If there is some of these you would like to learn about, go back to previous blogs, or hit the search bar at the top of the page.
The mountains we have all around us are beautiful. God has provided these mountains to give us the extra beauty to the earth.

What is the definition of “wild Animals”? In the scope of what we are doing for this “Photos of the Week” anything that is not considered a pet, is a wild animal. Now as we put together this collection of the latest wild animal photos, the question will come up: “were these taken at the zoo?” And, there is no way that I can tell, unless I see that the animals look like they are in a zoo. So, I will try to keep these wild animal photos…WILD! Enjoy!

Photos of the week, has been in the running for a while now. One of the most beautiful countries in the world, gets it’s debut today as PHOTOS OF THE WEEK! I hope you enjoy learning about this wonderful, scenic country.
Iceland is a country of extreme geological contrasts. Widely known as “The Land of Fire and Ice” Iceland is home to some of the largest glaciers in Europe, and some of the world’s most active volcanoes. Iceland is also the land of light and darkness. Long summer days with near 24-hours of sunshine are offset by short winter days with only a few hours of daylight.
The Capitol of Iceland is Reykjavik, a beautiful town.
Over 10 percent of Iceland’s territory is covered by glaciers, which includes Vatnajökull, the largest glacier in Europe. Due to its volcanic origin, the country’s nature features gushing geysers, natural hot springs, as well as lava fields spreading as far as the eye can see. The volcanic activity of Iceland made international headlines in recent years with the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull volcano in 2010 and the Grimsvötn eruption in 2011. Iceland’s numerous rivers and waterfalls are harnessed to provide cheap and environment-friendly hydroelectric energy.
