I thought they'd built as close to Red Rock as they could, but as you can see in the middle left of the photo I was wrong again.

You call some place paradise, kiss it goodbye"
Star trails cut short due to frost forming onto my lens but it's a great spot worth to revisit once night's are back.

The Grand Gulch / Cedar Mesa area in Southeastern Utah is littered with old ruins of Ancient Pueblan dwellings and granaries. Many ancient cultures such as the Mayans and Ancient Pueblans succumbed to droughts, as we're seeing spread in Africa, China, and the Western U.S.. Some leading scientists are forecasting a crash in global human population to 500 million by the end of this century. We're seeing clear changes and acceleration now in places like Antarctica, the Arctic, and Greenland, and many of us will live to see them affect global economies and societies. The survival of our children, and their children, are the stakes.
Global scientific collaboration is starting to gain an understanding of how natural (climate) and human (deforestation. topsoil erosion, population) forces have shaped human history. This will help us more completely understand, and hopefully influence, our future.
Projects such as the Integrated History of People on Earth (IHOPE), International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP), and the American Quaternary Association (AMQUA, devoted to studying all aspects of the Quaternary Period, the last 2 million years of Earth history) promise to give us the knowledge and tools to make more informed decisions about our future.
After 20+ years of largely ignoring the evidence (such as presented in the watered-down government-reviewed IPCC reports), we may no longer have the luxury of being able to wait and see what happens before our fate will be decided for us.

Ahu Tongariki site is the largest Ahu on Rapa Nui/Easter Island
It is one of the most isolated islands in the world but 1200 years ago a double-hulled canoe filled with seafarers from a distant culture landed upon its shores. Over the centuries that followed a remarkable society developed in isolation on the island. For reasons still unknown they began carving giant statues out of volcanic rock. These monuments, known, as "moai" are some of the most incredible ancient relics ever discovered. The people of Easter Island called themselves the Rapa Nui. Where did they come from and why did they disappear? Science has learned much about the enigma of Easter Island and has put to rest some of the more bizarre theories, but questions and controversies remain. Go and Explore this site to get your own conclusions of the island's history.
A couple of Rio Grande tunnel motors lead another pair of units from merger partners SP/UP as they approach civilization after a long run across the Utah desert. The Rio Grande always look good in low light conditions.
The last sunrise in the Badlands - there was a lot going on in a few directions so I was busy pointing the camera all over for a while. Good thing I'd picked out some compositions ahead of time.
Twin Peaks, San Francisco.
I've been here before and taken a couple of photos I happen to really like, but this time I came with a different idea in mind.
My dad and I have been growing our arsenal of lenses recently, and Twin Peaks at night is a perfect place to test how these lenses perform in regards to landscapes. An extremely contrasty scene with copious amounts of bright lights, mixed with incredibly sharp architectural elements at every distance, makes for the perfect equipment test field. The lenses I used for this particular shoot were the Nikon 50mm 1.8 AF-D (seen here), the Sigma 35mm 1.4 Art lens, and Samyang 14mm 2.8 ultra wide.
My goal wasn't to create and a perfect shot-for-shot comparison between these lenses - those are boring, and readily available elsewhere for those who care - rather, my goal was to create some interesting pieces of artwork with each of them, with the commonality being the scene and conditions. I plan on uploading an example of a piece of art made using each of the lenses, then a second picture detailing some more technical details and pixel-level analysis. That keeps nicely with my belief that the art you create with a piece of technology is more important than the technology itself, but also feeds my (and potentially your) interest in discussing the nitty-gritty pixel-level detail. I'll also be uploading these pictures significantly larger than usual, to demonstrate more of the low-level detail.
I'll keep a series of posts coming over the next few days, then write an article in summery of my findings that will be available on my site afterwards.
Anyways, on to this picture:
This particular photograph is a two part multi-exposure panorama, taken with the Nikon 50mm 1.8 AF-D lens, and processed in Photoshop.
I've always liked these long-exposure city shots, but I've just never been able to do them particularly well until recently. But hey, if the view from Twin Peaks can't inspire you to take a good shot, you're not trying hard enough! It really is a breathtaking sight, and the way I processed this one, I was simply trying to do the scene justice.

Islamic Civilization Religion Basics A quick introduction to the reason for this essay. With our ongoing travels to the Middle Eastern regions and our wanting to learn from people within different countries, a basic understanding of their religion and history is important. If time allows we will try to address the other major religions within […]
