Cliffs towering thousands of feet over the coast with part of the Pacific Missile Range Facility on top of it.
Another group of photos from our 75 mile dinner catamaran tour from the south coast around to the west and on to the northwest Na Pali coast of Kaua`i. These were taken before the ones previously saved so all will be in order once posted. Again, sorry for so many, just preserving memories from our trip. Not likely we ever see anything like this again. A few more to come later. :)
Cliff, one of the talented folk who work at Computer Ease Solutions, has a wonderful sense of humour and a truly bright outlook on life.

Despite my absolute love for stormchasing, lightning and severe weather...a simple drive out to the Superstition Mountains before dawn when there is only a bit of rainy clouds in the forecast...can be just as beautiful and inspiring.
I love the awesomeness of a lightning storm. The adrenaline when I'm trying to get to a good spot for a tripod setup.
The morning I took this photograph wasn't like that. It was relaxing. Lazy. Rolling clouds, some rain in the distance...but nothing thrilling or exciting. Yet I ended up having just as much fun as I usually do. I don't believe I have ever been out on the Apache Trail before as the sun comes up. It was magical.
With a day predicted to have rain, you don't even know for sure if the drive out there will reward you with a sunrise because the clouds could definitely block out any light. But not on this day. The clouds kind of rolled in after the sun was up...and the light and shadows were magnificent.
On a total side topic...this was my first day out with the 5D Mark II. I only had a 2gb card because the others I ordered hadn't arrived yet. The RAW size is around 21-25mb, so the card could only hold around 60 images. Since most of the time I shoot six brackets per scene...I only had roughly 10 total shots I could take.
So of course I took my laptop with so I could dump photos to it as the morning progressed. Solution to the problem.
And of course I left the USB cable at home...so I couldn't do anything. Problem remained.
I have to say...it ended up being an interesting experiment. What brackets were actually not worth keeping in exchange for a new scene I just found? Was the new scene better or worse than what I already had? Was I going to cry because I deleted one road shot for another?
I was a nice exercise in self-control. Usually we just fire off millions of shots during a photowalk or excursion like this (and I'm not saying we shouldn't, I certainly wont stop), but it did teach me to take a bit of pause and make absolutely certain this was a shot I wanted.
ON YET ANOTHER NOTE, check out my guest blog post over on Justin Balog's blog, Light as Magic! Thanks for asking me Justin to be a part of your Out the Front Door series...was a blast to write!

Nesting site on rocky bluff below Abiquiu Dam along the Rio Chama, NM. 28 Aug 2013. (4611)
Because they so often use bridges as nesting sites, it's notable to find one that is "natural."
Trimingham Cliffs, Norfolk.
I've not ventured this way since the summer of 1978 and a vague memory of a beach party where I was buried up to my neck in the sand and drunk lethal cocktails and beer all night.
Shortly after 4:00pm County Fire was dispatched to a report of a subject over the cliff. Upon arrival, Engine 17 found a male trapped approximately 35 feet over the side with his dog. Using a County Sheriff's pickup as an anchor point, a firefighter was lowered down. After attaching a harness to the victim, both dog and owner were lower safely to the beach. AMR was also on scene but neither dog nor owner required any medical attention.

The low cliff (or big dune) behind Nauset Light Beach in Eastham on the Cape Cod National Seashore.
Located on the Colorado Plateau in northern Arizona, Vermilion Cliffs National Monument includes the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness. The Monument borders Kaibab National Forest to the west and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area to the east.
This remote and unspoiled, 280,000-acre Monument is a geologic treasure, containing a variety of diverse landscapes from the Paria Plateau, Vermilion Cliffs, Coyote Buttes, and Paria Canyon. Elevations range from 3,100 to 7,100 feet.
Visitors will enjoy scenic views of towering cliffs and deep canyons. Paria Canyon offers an outstanding three to five day wilderness backpacking experience. The colorful swirls of cross-bedded sandstone in Coyote Buttes are an international hiking destination. There are also opportunities to view wildlife, including California condors. There are two developed campgrounds just outside the Monument: Stateline and White House. Dispersed camping is allowed outside the wilderness area in previously disturbed areas.
A permit is required for hiking in Coyote Buttes North (the Wave), Coyote Buttes South, and for overnight trips within Paria Canyon.
