I went on two workshops at Pictured Rocks….truly amazing area…it was hard to believe it was ‘real’. Great shots!

Ironic…Just last night I found an image in my files I’d completely forgotten about.
This post reminds me of my many hours of lounging around the bottom of the Niagara Gorge, looking WAYYYYY up to the top & feeling very insignificant in the large scheme of things. It was a good feeling, though, really…

Hi Mark,

Those are really interesting rock formations. I love all the layers.

It is interesting how time can change our opinion of an image.

Thanks guys. Thomas, yes, spring is starting slowly here, most of the ice has melted now. We had great weather this past weekend.

I think there may be some benefits to just putting images away for another time as well. Not that I advocate leaving them put away for years too often…

Great images, Mark. It is interesting how we can forget about certain images and happen upon them years later than think: “Now why didn’t I pick that one the first time around?!” I guess that we are just in a different place and a more receptive mood.

I really like the second image, BTW. I am fascinated by rocks and the history that the show. I used to collect and polish rocks as a kid. Maybe I should take it up again!

Hi Mark, great shots for being ‘outtakes’ – I particularly like the first one (vertical) and like how that really emphasize the ‘layer’ subject and obviously it really goes hand in hand with your post and thoughts.

It is always fun looking back over old images. It’s interesting how we might look differently at an image depending on what day or what year we are in. Our view and vision often change with our mood, but also as we ‘grow’ as photographers.

Is spring there yet!?
