Waiting at the Polar Express platform with a suitcase heavier than my life decisions. No clue where I’m headed, but hey, life’s just one big round-trip ticket, right?

Mykonos is an island in the Cyclades group in the Aegean Sea. It's popularly known for its summer party atmosphere. Beaches such as Paradise and Super Paradise have bars that blare thumping music. Massive dance clubs attract world-renowned DJs and typically stay open well past dawn. Iconic landmarks include a row of 16th-century windmills, which sit on a hill above Mykonos town.
After crossing Ilkley Moor we dropped down the hill to a legendary drinking den that seemed to have gone all foody so we carried on down to the river and the canal in search of a proper drinking establishment...
Sporting a brand new ET44C4, BNSF 3683 leads BNSF train H-GALSTL3-09A through Downtown St. Louis and toward it's final destination of BNSF's Lindenwood Yard. A TRRA track gang is seen dropping off ties, and doing other track and ballast work on the left,
Almost 4 years to the date. It's going to be sooooooo bitchen! I'm getting stoked. Looking at shot locations, basic Sierra High Route to Lake Basin Marion Lake. Then Cataract Creek Pass but why hurry is my general feeling. Then I'd like to make it to Cataract Creek Pass, just a walk in the park from the west side. Shot down to Amphitheatre Lake would be nice.
Pictures of Marion Lake from Red Pass, and Dumbbell Lake is also on my list.
Of course, Windy Point will be a camp spot, hopefully with a couple Milky-way shots.
Forcast calls for days in the mid 60s and nights in the high 40s.

Great blue herons' size (3.2 to 4.5 feet/1 to 1.4 meters) and wide wingspan (5.5 to 6.6 feet/1.7 to 2 meters) make them a joy to see in flight. They can cruise at some 20 to 30 miles (32 to 48 kilometers) an hour.
Pressing L is nice ;-)

A panoramic photo of beautiful Salmon Bay on Rottnest Island in Western Australia; unbelievably the beach was almost deserted. The Wadjemup Lighthouse can be seen across the bay on the far shore.
Rottnest Island is 18 kilometres (11 mi) off the Western Australian coast, very slightly north of due west from Fremantle. It is called Wadjemup by the Noongar people, meaning "place across the water". The island is 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) long, and 4.5 kilometres (2.8 mi) at its widest point. Rottnest Island has been a popular local holiday destination for over 50 years. The Western Australian vernacular diminutive is "Rotto". No private ownership of land is allowed. The island was given the name "Rotte nest" (meaning "rat nest" in the 17th century Dutch language) by Dutch captain Willem de Vlamingh who spent six days exploring the island from 29 December 1696, mistaking the quokkas for giant rats.

Travel Destination :: Bali Indonesia
My first genuine encounter with Balinese culture was in the small village of Tampaksiring called Penempaham. I was the only foreigner in the Temple that day and was warmly welcomed by the villagers. I had no idea what was happening but a young Balinese boy quickly befriended me and explained all that was taking place.
It was on this day I began to wrap my head around the genuine dedication the Balinese have to their beliefs, as well as the strong sense of community. This was also the day my love for Bali grew immensely. If you are looking for a rich cultural adventure and travel destination you will not forget, add Bali to your list of top places to visit.
These are a few things I learned while in the small Balinese village:
In Bali, there is no single day without a ceremony. It is an obligation for the Balinese to promote balance relations among human, gods and nature. Those principles are materialized through a sacrifice called Yadnya. Yadnya can be a very simple thing like giving a slice of one's food to a wandering dog or cleaning up rubbish in a temple area. Yadnya, or giving away, is the root of most ceremonies in Bali.
There are five obligations or Panca Yadnya. Dewa Yadnya is for thanking the God, Pitra Yadnya to respect the ancestor's souls. Manusa Yadnya is for cleaning human souls. Rsi Yadnya is held when someone wants to be a priest and Bhuta Yadnya is for thanking nature and balancing positive and negative powers.
I help aspiring and established photographers get noticed so they can earn an income from photography or increase sales. My blog, Photographer’s Business Notebook is a wealth of information as is my Mark Paulda’s YouTube Channel. I also offer a variety of books, mentor services and online classes at Mark Paulda Photography Mentor

The journey is as important as the destinations. Road-side Randomness in CA, AZ, NM, TX, UT, and NV on my Epic Winter Break Road Trip.
Unfortunately, my GPS had been switched off and I didn't realize it, so I have little idea where most of these were actually taken.
I believe this would be around Marble Canyon on 89A in northern Arizona.

______________________________________
No matter where I drive, there's always a better than even chance I'm going to pull over at some point to photograph something or other. This little building attracted my attention the other day while doing some errands. There was just something rather forlorn about its appearance. One glance at the proportions of those windows told me it was historic. Turns out it was built in 1918 as the township hall. It survives today as a rental facility for birthday parties and wedding events. I love the sense of Americana that the scene inspires, and made sure to back up far enough to capture the building in the context of its environment. I am always attracted to the sense of desolation in photos such as this, town scenes that encompass several acres or more, shot in the middle of the day, but completely devoid of people or vehicles.
Dubrovnik, is a city on the Adriatic Sea in the region of Dalmatia, in southern Croatia. It is one of the most prominent tourist destinations in the Mediterranean Sea, a seaport and the center of Dubrovnik-Neretva County. Situated in an exclave, it is connected to the rest of the country by the Pelješac Bridge. Its total population is 42,615 (2011 census). In 1979, the city of Dubrovnik was added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites in recognition of its outstanding medieval architecture and fortified old town.
The history of the city probably dates back to the 7th century, when the town known as Ragusa was founded by refugees from Epidaurum (Ragusa Vecchia). It was under the protection of the Byzantine Empire and later under the sovereignty of the Republic of Venice. Between the 14th and 19th centuries, Dubrovnik ruled itself as a free state. The prosperity of the city was historically based on maritime trade; as the capital of the maritime Republic of Ragusa, it achieved a high level of development, particularly during the 15th and 16th centuries, as it became notable for its wealth and skilled diplomacy. At the same time, Dubrovnik became a cradle of Croatian literature.
The entire city was almost destroyed when a devastating earthquake hit in 1667. During the Napoleonic Wars, Dubrovnik was occupied by the French Empire forces, and then the Republic of Ragusa was abolished and incorporated into the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy and later into the Illyrian Provinces. Later on, in the early 19th to early 20th century, Dubrovnik was part of the Kingdom of Dalmatia within the Austrian Empire. Dubrovnik became part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia immediately upon its creation, and it was incorporated into its Zeta Banovina in 1929, before becoming part of the Banovina of Croatia upon its creation in 1939. During World War II, it was part of the Axis puppet state Independent State of Croatia, before being reincorporated into SR Croatia in SFR Yugoslavia.
In 1991, during the Croatian War of Independence, Dubrovnik was besieged by the Yugoslav People's Army for seven months and suffered significant damage from shelling. After undergoing repair and restoration works in the 1990s and early 2000s, it re-emerged as one of the Mediterranean's top tourist destinations, as well as a popular filming location.
The sea-cliff bridge is a location I've always wondered how to photograph - it's such a scenic stretch of road but the few times I've driven along it have left me wondering where or how exactly I would do it justice in an image.
This morning was my time to try and despite a fairly lacklustre sunrise I was fortunate enough to be able to compose the ocean and cliffs as having the most space in the shot and concentrate on the few clouds sitting near the horizon.
