And now for today's edition of naked hypocrisy.
So I did something I'm not going to recommend. It's been almost seven years since I've been to the top of the Mount Baldy sand dune (This is the last picture in my catalogue taken from atop the dune), and I've wanted to go for a while. But I can never successfully time the ranger-guided hikes to go up there, and you have to do those with, like, forty other people. But as it turned out, there wasn't anybody around on this particular day, so I went. I ducked past the signs and over the chain blocking the trail and made a fast run along the little path I haven't walked in years up onto the edge of the dune.
Now, I want to emphasize that this is not an act I encourage or condone in others, and I do feel remorse over having ignored the regulations of the National Park Service. I do think they've closed this dune for good reasons, both in the interest of safety and to preserve the fragile dune environment. A century of feet trampling all over the place is what started this dune moving in the first place, and I've already contributed to that on more than one occasion in the past. But here's what I figured. The National Park Service does guided hikes up here with forty-someodd people at a time, which means there's got to be semi-safe places for forty-someodd people to stand. I figured that if I walked up to the section I used to think of as the entry foyer, on the forest side of the little trees that once marked the edge of the windward dune face and just stayed on top where I saw footprints, I'd be okay in terms of safety. All I had to worry about was an unfortunately timed passage of a ranger down on the trail, but I figured I was mostly okay. The worst that would happen would be that they'd give me a ticket. And so that's what I did, and here's the picture to prove it in a court of law.
I took this picture of a taxi that was driving. The subject of the photo is the taxi and you can see that because it is in the center and in focus. I think this picture describes velocity because you can tell that the taxi is moving because the background is blurred. I took this photo with a pretty slow shutter speed in order to get the panning effect.
We had an assignment where we had to demonstrate fast and slow shutter speed, along with a panning shot.

Twenty-two nations, 49 ships and six submarines, more than 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel are participating in RIMPAC exercise from June 26 to Aug. 1, in and around the Hawaiian Islands and Southern California. The world's largest international maritime exercise, RIMPAC provides a unique training opportunity that helps participants foster and sustain the cooperative relationships that are critical to ensuring the safety of sea lanes and security on the world's oceans. RIMPAC 2014 is the 24th exercise in the series that began in 1971. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Amanda R. Gray/Released)
You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
But me myself I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car
And I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
We won't have to drive too far
Just 'cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living
You see my old man's got a problem
He live with the bottle that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
I say his body's too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit school and that's what I did
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way
I remember we were driving driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
And I work in a market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a big house and live in the suburbs
You got a fast car
And I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or live and die this way
I have posted this hot before. But this a slightly photoshopped version. Slightly adjusted light and shade and colour saturation. I heard the engine and set up the sot. I know it was a sporty car, but how lucky was I?
Sorry to post again; but it was for the group 'Tell it with a song and a photo'.
Biodiversity continues to show a downward trend, especially in tropical areas and freshwater habitats, according to WWF's Living Planet Report 2012.
• Across the globe, vertebrate populations were on average one-third smaller in 2008 than they were in 1970.
• Freshwater species declined more than for any other biome—37 percent between 1970 and 2008.
• Freshwater species in the tropics declined by a much greater extent—70 percent. This is greater than any species decline measured on land or in our oceans.
