Took this on a recent solo road trip up north to the ghost town of Bodie. It was both exhilerating and frightening to take off on the road alone and drive so far from everyone I knew. The idea was to just drive without trying to plan where I would go and what I would do- a real change from how I normally am! The trip took 3 days in total, with lots of motels and quaint little diners on the way. Surprisingly, the ghost town itself was a little anti-climactic as I didn't get many good pictures. It was full of tourists and rangers and was largely boarded off from the public. But I found this place called Fossil Falls as I was driving. I was the only person there, so I got to hike the area alone. This is volcanic rock which gives way to a 40 foot gorge beneath me where a waterfall used to flow. Once inhabited by native americans, it seems to have become something of a forgotten pit stop now that all the water has dried up. Being here as the sun went down was definitely the highlight of my trip. Some moments I have to pinch myself. I feel so lucky to be alive.
Come pull a sheet over my eyes so I may sleep tonight,
despite what I´ve seen today
I find you guilty of a crime of sleeping at a time
when you should have been wide awake

Dedicated to the Icelandic government!!
In these bodies we will live
In these bodies we will die
Where you invest your love

"And now it's clear to me
That everything you see
Ain't always what it seems
I'm wide awake."

Only the country-liver can fully feel it -- this dying of night with the birth of day -- this supreme moment when the mists and dimness and low voices of the one exhale into the melody and brightness of the other. It is a daily miracle -- this sudden transition from gray to rosy light -- this unrolling of the landscape--this assumption, in delicious crescendo, of sound -- this quickening of the day's life over the sleep of night -- this flying of darkness, as of a ghost pursued, before the flooding of light -- this oldest of all stories again told. Awake, for the day has dawned.

A dreamy and surreal portrait of my girl somewhere between sleeping and waking :) This week I was accidentally fascinated by Kelly Robitaille I noticed her art on Thursday and decided to try this week, gladly my indispensable model agreed to operate.

About The Sunshine Coast
The Sunshine Coast is an urban area in South East Queensland, north of the state capital of Brisbane on the Pacific Ocean coastline. Although it does not have a central business district, by population it ranks as the 10th largest metropolis in Australia and the third largest in Queensland.
Many of the Sunshine Coast's towns began as simple ports or jetties for the timber industry during the 1860s and 1870s, as the area once had magnificent stands of forest. Likewise, the region's roads often began as snigging tracks for hauling timber. Timbergetters used the region's creeks, rivers and lakes as seaways to float out their logs of cedar – the resultant wood being shipped as far afield as Europe.
This is an HDR shot made up of 5 shots taken in autobraking mode (-1.4Ev; -0.7Ev; 0Ev; +0.7Ev; 1.4Ev). HDR was made with Enfuse. You can read additional technical information in my profile (about section).
BeetleCam snuck up to this sleeping lion and then got a bit of a shock when his eyes flew wide open!

White-breasted Nuthatch, cautiously approaches the hollow to see if the Eastern Screech Owl (Grey morph) is home .... awake. Southern Ontario.
Egyptian Goose (Alopochen aegyptiaca) resting in the Autumn sun. There was no doubting he had me in his sights. Slowly opening and closing his eyes periodically and subtly moving position.
Seen at Highfields Park.
