Month of Mornings 13/30, Lake Waikopiro, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand
One of the challenges as a landscape photographer is the lack of control that you have over one of the most important parts of the image: the weather
As we headed up to Lake Turtira, and its little brother Lake Waikopiro, this morning for my #monthofmornings excursion the weather looked promising; a bit of cloud and some hints of mist in the valleys. But when we arrived we found the sky was largely grey and dull, and there was no mist to be seen anywhere.
So the images this morning were not spectacular, but you can't expect to shoot a portfolio image every day.

Here in Eugene, Oregon lie the remnants of a once mighty train company Southern Pacific which was bought out by the Union Pacific. The remains of a roundhouse, machine shop, and evidence of support buildings not to mention an intact turntable. This photograph of some type of junction I have no idea what for but it was intriguing.
Stopped by the remote controlled airfield for short time for the first time in quite a while. A friend of mine was flying a few of the 31 planes he owns. Only got photos of 2 of them while there, the first two red ones and the last six photos here. Fun watching how skillful these pilots are doing aerial maneuvers, takeoffs and landings. I always send any photos I take for them to post on their club site. Sorry for so many photos, just saving to my album. :-)
So tired of posting shots in order...so I won't anymore.

I have wanted to shoot this for a long time. Its so unique. I tried to capture it with a dark feel, to help tell the story of the architecture, its medieval style and its past.
The Oswego Iron Furnace, built in 1866 at the confluence of Oswego Creek and the Willamette River, was the first iron furnace on the Pacific Coast. Between 1867 and 1885, it produced 42,000 tons of pig iron, sold as "Oregon Iron" to foundries in Portland and San Francisco. Before 1867, all iron on the Pacific Coast was brought by ship around Cape Horn.
The founders of the Oregon Iron Company—led by William S. Ladd, John Green, and Henry Green—sought to capitalize on iron deposits in the hills around Sucker Lake (now Oswego Lake). Controlling the means of iron production was part of their vision for a commercial empire in the Pacific Northwest. Most of Portland's cast-iron architecture and the pipe for its water system were made of Oswego iron.
The Oswego Furnace was Oregon's largest manufacturing enterprise in the nineteenth century. It consumed ore from two mines and charcoal from 22,000 acres of timber. Over the course of its operation, three companies owned the works: Oregon Iron Company, Oswego Iron Company, and Oregon Iron & Steel Company.
The furnace, which resembles a medieval tower, was modeled on the furnaces of the Barnum and Richardson Company in Lime Rock, Connecticut. The thirty-two-foot-high stack, as stone furnaces are called, stands on a twelve-foot underground foundation with massive walls built to withstand temperatures of 2,800 degrees Fahrenheit. Charcoal, ore, and limestone were fed into the top of the shaft, and air was injected into the bottom through three Gothic arches that gave access to ports in the smelting chamber. Molten iron was tapped through a fourth arch and channeled to molds in the sand floor of the casting house. In 1878, the second owners increased the height of the stack to forty-four feet.
The furnace closed in 1885 when the company built a larger furnace half a mile north. The firebrick lining of the shaft was removed and probably reused in the new furnace. An attempt to dynamite the stack in the early twentieth century failed but left gaping holes in the interior.
In 1974, the furnace, an example of the craftsmanship of nineteenth-century furnace builders, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The City of Lake Oswego completed a major preservation and stabilization effort in 2010, and the furnace is now an imposing presence in George Rogers Park. It is the only remaining iron furnace west of the Rocky Mountains.
If you control aqua in Texas, you’re a municipality. However, if you find yourself in control of aqua, you’re just thirsty. (Sea Life Aquarium, Grapevine Tx.)
I will go back and title some stuff but I am busy right now thank you.

This section of the aqueduct is in the Mojave Desert, which is prone to flash floods. This narrow concrete structure goes across the aqueduct and allows flood waters from one side of the aqueduct to spill over to the other side and not enter the aqueduct water.
For some reason I'm kind of obsessed with this yellow machine.

Last weekend we were treated to an outdoor aerial display by Mari Rampazzo and her Flying Monkeys on the grounds of St Belindus College in Stillorgan.
It's the same crew that we had the pleasure of photographing indoors at Petit Volant a few weeks ago.
"Flying Monkeys Trapeze is the first company to bring outdoor flying trapeze classes to Ireland.
Flying trapeze is a fun and challenging experience. It is the pinnacle of circus where a performer jumps off a platform holding onto a bar, performs an impressive trick and lands in the hands of a catcher. With safety equipment and expert coaching anyone can have this exhilarating experience.
Our classes are two-hour long with 3 instructors to guide you all the way. A class will have a maximum of 10 participants to give everyone enough time on the trapeze."
