Sometimes I wonder why so many disregard our earth, the air we all breathe, the oceans we share. Perhaps I worry too much. I think we’re very, very fortunate to live where we do. I’ll bet I wouldn’t care so much about earth if I lived in a slum area among cockroaches.
““Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life.”

Rachel Louise Carson (May 27, 1907 – April 14, 1964) was an American marine biologist and nature writer whose writings are credited with advancing the global environmental movement.
A bluff with wind is my element, from which to view mountain ranges east, south, and the magnificent Alaska Range to the west across Cook Inlet (tide’s out) and many, many miles of marsh and bog. Of course an iPhone photo doesn’t do the scene justice, but neither do my more expensive cameras. I tossed a dog frisbee and tried not to take a photo. 
Because the human eye (in English-speaking countries, primarily) more readily goes to a point about two-thirds up a page, divide a photo into nine blocks and place the main subject(s) on the intersection points rather than in the center of the image.
Diagonal lines generally work well to draw the eye of an image’s viewer through the photograph. They create points of interest as they intersect with other lines and often give images depth by suggesting perspective.
