Windmill Tower Blue Sky
Perspective starts with seeing things from all angles. While climbing under this 100 year old Windmill requires agility lol. No choice but scrambling over panels meant to protect the structure from Cattle pressure. The sky was Robin’s Egg Blue pretty much horizon to horizon. I’m a victim of only being able to photograph what is in front of me….. Maybe in this case… what was over me lol.
Windmill Weekend (Windmill Junkies Unite). But don’t let your mother know you look at stuff like this.
I don’t take as many windmill photos in the winter now that snow is covering many of my paths. We had several inches of blowy snow yesterday up on the ridges.
From the point of view of this 100 year old windmill. (Re Pete), the sky is not constant. This old fellow is on our ranch about 3 miles into the backcountry via two track roads. I usually work my way out to this guy’s hangout where he gleefully “photobombs” my landscapes…. (It’s a years old narrative if you don’t understand lolol).
Aermotor windmills account for the bulk of windmills out there. The company started way back in the 1888 with 24 sold the first year. By 1892, 20000 had been sold lolol. The company still exists. They also sold a LOT of steel fire “look out towers” for fire watch and being a lightning target lololol.

Windmill Tower Blue Sky
I saved this one at a large size so you can really get a close-up look at what the size of Novarupta really is like.
I don't recommend climbing on it because every single thing you touch causes the entire side of Novarupta to shift and shudder. The rocks are all a lightweight basalt with a high silica content - means they are very sharp. I whacked my wrist on a rock and it shredded my skin.
Even in the shade I could feel the heat billowing out of the rocks and that thick, glassy volcanic smell. The higher up I got, the stronger the heat and smell became and the rocks became wet and slimy. I turned around at that point.

We ran out of time and had to go home and eat roast dinner after this :D

I had this idea to do a shot that depicted a girl trying to climb somewhere out of the frame, but was struggling because whatever she was trying to climb just wasn't big enough. I wanted it to represent life in general, that sometimes you're trying to pick yourself up, make yourself better, but you're finding it hard because you're not strong enough. I love how this image turned out. I love the colors. The mood. The birds! But it's not exactly how I envisioned it in my head, and I can't wait to try again.
side-dish sized bowl, with an impression of a Japanese Climbing fern. This is one of my favorite new pieces.
Set of nuts, 1.5 sets cams for three pitches. Little too much gear for the climb in retrospect, but not bad.
Louie (my 6 year old) set this up and asked me to shoot it!..The troopie has climbed up as high as he can to get away from the hungry dinosaurs!
