I thought people posted lots of pictures of Gatlinburg and the Smoky Mountains until I checked out how many pictures are posted of the National Parks on Flickr.com. It comes to more than 87,000 photos. Below you will find pictures from Acadia National Park, Crater Lake, Grand Canyon, Grand Teton, The Great Smoky Mountains, Mount Ranier National Park, Pertified Forest, Rocky Mountain National Park, Yellowstone, Yosemite and many more parks. Enjoy the incredible scenery of our country throught these beautiful pictures of our National Parks. And I hope you get to vacation in one or all of these parks if you haven’t had the chance.

Man this was one of the hardest shots I've taken. It's a moonlit wave breaking against a cliff. The problem is that in order to shoot water under moonlight you have to do a long exposure (usually over 5 seconds) but when you do that it all tends to smooth out and lose any shape to the wave. In order to get the action of the wave break therefore I had to keep the exposure to at least a second. But to do that I had to push the ISO through the stratoshphere (ISO 1600) and then had a tonne of noise to get rid of. Anyway, I kind of like the result and thought I'd put it up to see what you think. The light parts of the sky are actually the seaspray caught in the light of the moon which is just out of frame.
If you've never seen storm waves under a full moon you really are missing something spectacularly beautiful. This sea swell was 4m and those cliffs are 50m high so you can get an idea how big that wave break is. Just standing off to one side watching wave after wave pound against that cliff under the eery light of the moon was just sheer magic despite me and the gear getting absolutely soaked with seaspray. Hope the camera still works - too scared to test it - may have been the most expensive night out of my life lol.

Activating the blood circulation with the Yoga posture "shoulder stand" is very efficient.
La" Barre des Ecrins " is the highest peak of the Southern French Alps. I have scaled it alone.
Améliorer la circulation du retour grâce à "la chandelle" est très efficace pour les alpinistes.

Most of the alpinists wake up around 3 AM at the rfuge des Ecrins, 3150 meters, to reach 4000 meters at rising sun. That day I came first to take photos
La plupart des alpinistes se lèvent à trois heures du matin au "refuge des Ecrins", situé à 3150 mètres. Au petit jour ils sont à 4000 mètres. Je suis monté avant eux pour les photographier
