". . .
Cloudless everyday you fall
Upon my waking eyes
Inviting and inciting me to rise
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning
And no one sings me lullabies
And no one makes me close my eyes
And so I throw the windows wide
Callin' you across the sky"
—— Pink Floyd, "Meddle," 1971

This is the Elvis Chapel at the Superstition Mountain Lost Dutchman Museum in Apache Junction.
www.pinal.gov/faq.aspx?TID=134
The Superstition Mountain area has long been of interest to filmmakers, with its dramatic views and romantic history. Movie stars such as Glenn Ford, Elvis Presley, John Wayne, and Tom Mix starred in films set in our area. Elvis Memorial Chapel is a movie prop that was built for the 1969 Elvis Presley western Charro!, which was the only movie Elvis made in which he did not sing, but played a strictly dramatic role. During the moving shoot, a specially-made steeple was constructed and put on the chapel so that it could be blown off during an explosion central to the movie's plot
www.mountaintripper.com/historic-buildings-arizona/the-el...
The Elvis Memorial Chapel is a movie prop from the 1969 Elvis Presley film “Charro!” that survived two fires and was relocated to the Superstition Mountain Museum where it stands to this day.
Originally part of the Apacheland Movie Ranch, it is the sole surviving structure from that iconic Western filming location.
Now serving as a wedding chapel, it stands as a testament to preservation efforts and a unique connection to Elvis’ only non-singing acting role.

Discover Desert Riches at the Superstition Mountain Lost Dutchman Museum! Our 15-acre campus, nestled at the base of the Superstition Mountains, had trails, mining equipment, Apacheland Barn, the Elvis Chapel, large-scale model trains, Cossack stamp mill, and so much more! Our museum exhibits revisit the Arizona Territory, documenting early settlers, native culture, geology, flora and fauna, mining and smelting, and all you want to know about the Lost Dutchman and his mine. We have family-friendly special events, partnering with local businesses and charities, making out museum a truly community-centric organization.

The desert stretches before you—vast, golden, and silent except for the whisper of wind against stone. Towering peaks rise sharply from the earth, their rugged faces glowing in the Arizona sun, each contour etched with stories of fortune and fate. These are the Superstition Mountains, a landscape steeped in legend, where the line between myth and reality fades into the dust.
Tucked against this backdrop lies the Superstition Mountain Lost Dutchman Museum, a treasure trove of the region’s mysteries. Within its walls, echoes of prospectors, pioneers, and restless spirits come to life through artifacts, exhibits, and tales passed down through generations.
Founded in 1980 by the Superstition Mountain Historical Society, the museum was born from the dreams of “Dutch hunters”—enthusiasts obsessed with the legendary Lost Dutchman Mine. These folks weren’t just casual treasure seekers; they were dedicated to preserving the lore and artifacts of the region, turning their fascination into a cultural institution.
Happy Fence Friday, HFF,
Thanks for visiting!

▶ WHAT IS EXPLORE?
"Explore is a Flickr feature with the intent of showing you 'some of the most awesome photos on Flickr.' Photos are automatically selected by computer according to a secret algorithm called Interestingness. The top 500 photos ranked by Interestingness are shown in Explore.
Flickr has stated that many factors go into calculating Interestingness: a photo's tags, how many groups the photo is in, views, favorites, where click-throughs are coming from, who comments on a photo and when, and more. The velocity of any of those components is a key factor. For example, getting 20 comments in an hour counts much higher than getting 20 comments in a week.
Is Explore a showcase for the top Flickr photographers? No. It's for photo viewers, not the photographers. It exists so that, at any moment, anyone who wants to view interesting photos can go to Explore and have a reasonable chance of seeing something interesting.
Does that imply that photographs not in Explore are uninteresting? Of course not. Many wonderful photos are uploaded to Flickr each day not selected for Explore. But, to serve its purpose, Explore only includes a small sampling of all of the photos on Flickr, showing photos from many different people to create a diverse selection."

Did you know: Fawns have an average of 294-306 spots? As you can see in the photo, they start in a row along each side of the spine. Fawns are born with spots because it's great at camouflaging them from predators like wolves, coyotes, and bears. They will lose their spots as they get older and don't rely on hiding anymore. They usually lose their spots around October when their winter coats start coming in. Have you ever stumbled upon a fawn in the woods and almost missed it from their camouflage?
Explore Accolades (Auszeichnungen) and FAQs (Fragen und Antworten)

Earlier this year, Flickr rebuilt the infrastructure that powers our beloved Explore page. Explore features about 500 exemplary images from across Flickr every day, highlighting photos that have caught the attention of the Flickr community. In rebuilding the tooling that powers Explore, we wanted to make sure it features a wide array of Flickr members, and that the images being highlighted represent great quality and community engagement.
Today, we want to share some exciting data on Explore and celebrate some impressive accolades with our community.
NEW
Why do I see photos with fewer faves or comments or views than mine on Explore?
The images featured in Explore aren’t necessarily the ones that gathered the most views, faves, or comments. We try to weigh in the quality of those actions over quantity. The timing of when you posted also plays a role.
Does adding my photo to groups help my chances of getting into Explore?
NO, but
===================>>
Adding your photos to on-topic groups is a great way to connect with other Flickr members interested in the same kind of photography that you do. It is also a great way to build community and interaction around your work, thus improving your chances of getting featured!

Who picks the images for the Explore showcase?
Selections for Explore are made by a math equation. This math equation (called an algorithm) calculates a score based on how many views, faves and comments an images gets over a period of time.
The better the score the higher an image gets placed in the Explore list. Faves are heavily weighted in the equation and are far more important than comments. This score is often referred to as the "interestingness" factor of an image

A website FAQ asks:
What is there to do at Redfish Lake?
Relax and enjoy the scenery! Rent a boat from the Marina to explore the lake on your own. Sunbathe on the sandy beach. Hike: there are plenty of trails around to lead you to gorgeous backcountry. Saddle up at the Redfish Corrals. Stop by the Redfish Lake Visitor Center. Eat a hearty meal in the restaurant. Sip a cocktail in the lounge. Gaze at the Milky Way in the crystal clear night sky. Fish a nearby stream.
While I did not do most of the leisurely stuff described above, I did get to gaze in wonderment at the Milky Way in a really dark sky area. I had wanted to shoot a panorama of tracked longer focal length shots for some time. A well known astrophotographer Eric Benedetti shoots spectacular stacked Milky Way panoramas. He also shoots them mostly in this area which gave me the motivation to try something similar. This was shot the night before the Great American Eclipse from the nearby Stanley Lake.
I used a star tracker to gather more star light than I could without a tracker. For the ground portion, the tracker was turned off. A total of 30 exposures were then stitched into a panorama. I used a 55mm lens which is more commonly used for portraits. Apples to apples, a longer lens gathers more light than a wide angle lens. (You can read about Clear Aperture here : www.clarkvision.com/articles/nightscapes/)
My biggest challenge with this panorama is blending the sky and ground parts like it would be in one large wide angle shot. Thanks to John Burge for the pointers. John shoots some fantastic longer length panos (85mm and above). Do check out his work..
The peaks which frame the lake at its south end are
· Mount Heyburn at 10,229 ft (3,118 m) on the Right
· Grand Mogul at 9,733 feet (2,967 m) on the left
It's a tight fit at Wild Dunes Beach Park as the vintage trucks line up for this years' Classic Truck Show in Mystic Beach.
