From last Sunday night, the Milky Way rises over Lake Alpine, CA.
Miguel and I made our triumphant return to this spot, where just 3 months earlier, we endured a harrowing adventure...
[Journal entry, May 2019] With Ebbets Pass still closed for winter, there was quite a bit of snow on the ground as we approached Lake Alpine, CA around 10pm. Temps were 23F and dropping. We turned off the main road down a groomed snow road and slowly navigated my 4WD truck over the hard ice crust. Suddenly, we broke through and became hopelessly stuck. We began stuffing tree branches, floor mats under the tires for traction, but were sinking further and further. Hiking out to the main road, we awakened a sleeping camper and borrowed his shovel. We proceeded to take turns digging snow and ice pack for the next several hours. By morning, the snow began to soften rapidly, and the truck continued to sink. Exhausted, we hitched a ride up to Bear Valley where there was a cell signal and called for a tow truck with a winch. We paid our money and regrettably, he had to leave us where we were. As the next evening arrived, we dug a very long and deep ramp in the snow, hoping that by nightfall the snow would re-freeze enough to allow us to drive out. Then, while lying in the snow to address our exhaustion, as if seeing a distant mirage, we spotted 3 fellow offroaders who had accidentally turned down our road and were about to back out. We flagged them for help and spent the next hour daisy chaining 3 vehicles with winches to pull each successively from the slush.
I leaned a valuable lesson, to never go offroading with only one vehicle. [end entry]
This image was captured with the DFA 25mm f/4 lens on the 645Z. It is a multi-stacked, manual blend, incorporating some light painting of the foreground trees and rocks using my LED panel on a stick. The glow on the horizon is light pollution, likely from Sonora or Modesto.
Thanks for visiting!
This morning I was out in the AllgƤu again. When I came out of the forest between Scheidegg and Bƶserscheidegg, I was offered this view and sight. The fog still hung in the valley, the few morning rays of sunshine that made it through the cloud cover shone like a spot on the Alps...
This was originally Motel Bien Venido (Welcome), a Best Western Motel built circa 1947. The Elvis Presley trio performed at Alpine High School Feb.10, 1955 and allegedly stayed here. I stayed here circa 1969....Elvis had long left the building.
I believe it remained a Best Western into the 1970s or longer. Today it's a OYO Hotel and not quite what it used to be. :-) It appears the signpost and decorative element on top remain from the original neon sign, and the swimming pool is gone.
For more info about Elvis' visit to Alpine and a look at the original motel and sign try the link below.

Spotted this tree on a bike ride between Scharnitz in Austria and Mittenwald, Germany. Stood out to me as different from the uniform Pine trees.
The Alpine ibex (Capra ibex), also known as the steinbock, bouquetin, or simply ibex, is a species of wild goat that lives in the mountains of the European Alps. It is a sexually dimorphic species: males are larger and carry longer, curved horns than females. Its coat colour is typically brownish grey. Alpine ibex tend to live in steep, rough terrain near the snow line. They are also social, although adult males and females segregate for most of the year, coming together only to mate. Four distinct groups exist; adult male groups, female-offspring groups, groups of young individuals, and mixed-sex groups.
During the breeding season, males fight for access to females, and use their long horns in agonistic behaviour. After being extirpated from most areas by the 19th century, the Alpine ibex was successfully reintroduced to parts of its historical range. All individuals living today descend from the stock in Gran Paradiso National Park in Aosta Valley and Piedmont (Italy), a national park created to help the ibex thrive. The ibex is the emblem of both the Gran Paradiso National Park, and the contiguous Vanoise National Park across the French border. The species is currently listed as of least concern by the IUCN, but went through a population bottleneck of fewer than 100 individuals during its near-extinction event. This has led to very low genetic diversity across populations.
I discovered this little bird on the mountain Eggishorn (2869m). Valais, Switzerland

BDKt railcar leads a Komet ABDeh 4/8 unit up the rack and pinion towards Stalden on the 09:29 Fiesch - Zermatt service.
Here it is a roof detail of the Refuge Savoia, located on the Nivolet plateau (2.534 m), Gran Paradiso National Park, Italy.
Probably not one of the first subjects that may go through your mind to photograph in that stunning alpine area :-) ... but with no doubt these ancient tiles have their own charm, it would have been a pity not to photograph them as well.
