Thank you very much, Chris! And your image of the fall colors is just gorgeous.
Tired of wildlife from Bosque

Many thanks, Joshua. Wonderful crane shots from Bosques. You really make this big and heavy multi-platform combo sing, whether it's owls or cranes.

All the best everyone - hope you all have a great Xmas and New Year .. drive safely !
Feilaisi is a great place to start hiking the mountains and to view the Meili Snow Mountain range. Note the town of Déqīn 德欽 down there in the valley. The long distance bus I took terminates there .. next stop is Tibet, Myanmar, Bangladesh or Bhutan (all within a relative stone's throw, no more than 300-400 miles away). There are plenty of buses from Déqīn to Lhasa, just a relatively short 38 hour drive away (1,000 miles or 1,664 kms) through the Tibetan mountains

Thanks guys ;-)
As for the discussion re saturation, sometimes we just have to work with what we've been given in terms of light etc.
This time i was exceptionally lucky
I have been a keen observer of sunrise/sunset over the last several years. At least once a week I do see this type of fiery sunrise/sunset where I live. They may look unreal but they are real.

Merry Christmas Kevin and all. Tibet is on my bucket list. I almost went a couple years ago but the Chinese gov. closed it to foreigners due to the riots in Tibet.

Unfortunately you have to sign up with a tour to go ..... the agent will take care fo the visas etc. However Yunnan, Qinghai and Sichuan provinces in China have massive Tibetan populations (80% of the population in Northern Yunnan and Qinghai) and you can get almost the full Tibetan experience, in similarly spectacular landscapes, with just a Chinese visa if you want to forego the hassle

Stopped and got this on the way down from Artists Point. This is Mount Shuksan and White Salmon Lodge after dusk. Zeiss 16-35/4
Vertical of the earlier shot focusing on Pyramid Peak atop Shuksan with alpenglow light. Zeiss 100-300mm
The Shuksan alpenglow shot is funny because I had arrived back at the Heather Meadows parking lot and all the "professional skibums" were ambling around their Sprinter vans and VW Syncros debating whether to take photos or make another booze run to the nearest town (half hour). The decision was made and we all scrambled up this little hill with snow up to your thighs to get a good shot. Then the booze run for them and a long drive back to Seattle for me.

Wonderful shot with great depth and composition, Kevin. Merry Christmas. If I remember correctly, the highest peak in the Meili Snow Mountain range remains unclimbed, right?

Sunset over farm land in West Chesterfield, New Hampshire. Had to stop and pull over for this on a drive up to Brattleboro, Vermont the other day.

Thank you Chris & a Merry Xmas to you too !
That is correct (actually none of the peaks have been summited, as far as I am aware). There is a history of tragedy surrounding the Meili mountains. many people have lost their lives trying to climb it. Part of the reason being massive 'ice walls' that surround the peak and also the fact it is hugely avalanche prone (which is what has claimed many of the lives, including 19 people on one Chinese-Japanese joint attempt).
Some believe, because these are amongst the most holy mountains of the Buddhist religion, that they have been 'protected' from being summited (something that Buddhists would abhor as a desecration) and in fact I believe the mountain now has a 'no climb' ban on it imposed by the Chinese Govt.
