Drama in clouds at the majestic Monument valley.

To understand how majestic these Monuments are compare them to the bus in the foreground.

It was an amazing opportunity to visit Alaska and surely its a photographers paradise. I will post all the images of wild life that I captured during this visit.

Mother Earth must be cherishing this break from humans. Its incredible to look back at pictures at this point of time. Every single picture feels more valuable. This picture was from a Cessna plane over Alaska

An awesome view of fall colors in the Smoky Mountains..

This is a picturesque scene captured on mesmerizing tour of the Alaskan Glacier. Every glacier viewing was a humbling experience.

Alaskan Glacier - This was one of the most spectacular view of a Glacier from about 5000 ft.. View full screen and look in to the breath taking details. Nature is beautiful and powerful.. We need to do whatever possible to protect it.

Happy World Photography Day to you all.

This picture of Steller Sea Lion was taking during my Alaska Trip on the Kenai Fjord Tour. It was a lovely experience seeing the marine animals in this tour but the recent alarming rate of Glacier breaking and melting could pose a severe risk of extinction. They are currently categorized as Federally Endangered. I just loved the color of their fur shining under the bright sun.

Schwabacher Landing - Moose, WY

This place has atleast 100 photographers hunting for the perfect reflection of the Grand Tetons. This place is a treat to watch for an entire day. The day I visited clouds were not letting sun peek through so i never got the gorgeous sun light rays lighting up the tetons. If you ever plan to visit the Grand Tetons make sure you visit this place early in the morning. Our drive to this place had some extra fun element as we travelled in an RV.

Giant sequoia specimens are the most massive individual trees in the world.[3] They grow to an average height of 50–85 m (164–279 ft) with trunk diameters ranging from 6–8 m (20–26 ft). Record trees have been measured at 94.8 m (311 ft) tall. Trunk diameters of 17 m (56 ft) have been claimed via research figures taken out of context.[7] The specimen known to have the greatest diameter at breast height is the General Grant tree at 8.8 m (28.9 ft).[8] Between 2014 and 2016, specimens of coast redwood were found to have greater trunk diameters than all known giant sequoias.[9] The trunks of coast redwoods taper at lower heights than those of giant sequoias which have more columnar trunks that maintain larger diameters to greater heights.

The oldest known giant sequoia is 3,500 years old based on dendrochronology. Giant sequoias are among the oldest living organisms on Earth. Giant sequoia bark is fibrous, furrowed, and may be 90 cm (3 ft) thick at the base of the columnar trunk. The bark provides significant protection from fire damage. The leaves are evergreen, awl-shaped, 3–6 mm (1⁄8–1⁄4 in) long, and arranged spirally on the shoots.

Giant sequoia cones and seed
The giant sequoia regenerates by seed. The seed cones are 4–7 cm (1 1⁄2–3 in) long and mature in 18–20 months, though they typically remain green and closed for as long as 20 years. Each cone has 30–50 spirally arranged scales, with several seeds on each scale, giving an average of 230 seeds per cone. Seeds are dark brown, 4–5 mm (0.16–0.20 in) long, and 1 mm (0.04 in) broad, with a 1-millimeter (0.04 in) wide, yellow-brown wing along each side. Some seeds shed when the cone scales shrink during hot weather in late summer, but most are liberated by insect damage or when the cone dries from the heat of fire. Young trees start to bear cones after 12 years.

Trees may produce sprouts from their stumps subsequent to injury, until about 20 years old; however, shoots do not form on the stumps of mature trees as they do on coast redwoods. Giant sequoias of all ages may sprout from their boles when branches are lost to fire or breakage.

A large tree may have as many as 11,000 cones. Cone production is greatest in the upper portion of the canopy. A mature giant sequoia disperses an estimated 300–400 thousand seeds annually. The winged seeds may fly as far as 180 m (590 ft) from the parent tree.

Lower branches die readily from being shaded, but trees younger than 100 years retain most of their dead branches. Trunks of mature trees in groves are generally free of branches to a height of 20–50 m (70–160 ft), but solitary trees retain lower branches.
