Friday's Focus - 2020/04/17 - Where to Next?

Our Focus this Friday is where do you want to go next once we are able to travel again?

The one stipulation is, it has to be a place you have already been, so that you have a photo to post in here.

So where have you been in the past, and you want to go again this year once you can.

So add your photos to this thread.

Mine... is going to be Glacier. I have been there a lot, but have missed the last 4 years. So I really want to get back there this year. Here is a photo from there.

My answer is not really a particular place, but being able to wander around French markets in the sunshine, buy lunch, sit and have a coffee or a beer in the shade and watch the world go by slowly. French markets are usually weekly, always in the morning and are an opportunity for the locals to meet and chat and buy and sell, every small town and village has a market. Local farmers and small producers sell their wonderful fresh produce and trucks pull up and become instant cheese shops, or butchers or shoe shops and by 2 o'clock it is as though they had never been. This image from Provence with my wife, in green t-shirt, choosing which olives to buy. Ken. I decided to have a little play with this image and here it is. We both speak French, my wife can pass as French but not me, although after a few weeks I can converse and after a couple of months I start to think in French which leads to embarassment when I return to speaking English as for a day od two I think in French and translate back to English.

I'd like to hit up Glacier but that may not be until at least fall.

The next place I am going to visit is the Hanksville area, including Skyline, Cathedral valley and Factory Butte. Here is one of the places i hope to improve.

Skiing Mt. Pilchuck, my local little mountain that has great back-country runs a 30 min. drive from my house.



My wife and I were going to take our new truck-camper on a long trip up through the mountains of British Columbia and Alberta this spring.


Skiing at Rogers Pass, Selkirk range of BC

I'm with Ben. Southern Utah in general, Hwy's 24 and 95 with more time to explore.
Daytime shot but nice sky. With nice morning/evening light I can only imagine.

Fall is good Alan. Who knows I might not even be able to get there until fall, though I would prefer this summer.

Cathedral Valley is a place I would like to shoot more of besides just the Temple of Sun and Moon.

It's probably a better milky way location too because it is further from the light pollution and much higher elevation. And those temples would be catching the light of a half moon.

I'd ideally like to explore places I haven't been to. However given the topic. I'd chose between Yosemite and the southwest esp. the Capitol Reef and surrounding. The image below from that area.

Nice image of Hickman bridge

My wife and I were planning to go to the western Canadian National Parks this fall. I hope this still happens. This image is of Angel Glacier in Jasper National Park taken in 1994. I'm curious about how it looks now.

Nice image of Hickman Arch, Jameel.

Great shot of the Angel Glacier Douglas. I climbed up that tongue of ice when I did the north face of Mt. Edith Cavell back in 1980.

Here is a view looking down on the Angel from the start of the upper face.
