Driving west along the Yakima River towards Thorp along Highway Ten. One will pass an imposing white wall of loosely packed volcaniclastic rocks laid down by ancient volcanoes of the Cascades 20-15 million years ago. This is one unit of the Ellensburg Formation.

NOT MY IMAGE!! This image was screaming for a b/w conversion, so here is my interpretation.

Lately I've been uploading a lot of sunsets from the same beach. Reason is that I've been spending my daily evenings having fun and relaxing on the same beach with a group of friends I met recently. I always carry my Canon G12 with me but on this particular evening I decided to get my Canon 5D MKII and grab some shots with it, and what an evening it was :-)
From an old diary of mine. It consists completely of drawings (ink on paper).
All those sketches have been made spontaneously without much thinking. As it turned out they tended to arrange themselves in cycles. There is a series of Hommages à Gustav Mahler; one set is called "anode / cathode", another one is named "gestures", and there are "alluvial", "cathedral", "sound", current", "traces", and we have quite a number of "stations". And then there are some "formations" (of birds, of stones, of people, of celestial bodies, of fish - that's up to you).
Hovering above this formation drill yard. Not long after sunrise my P4P goes up to notice the interesting geometries.

Found at Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone NP. The tavertine formations in the area create these stark terraces over which the boiling, mineral-rich liquid flows, heated by magma deep in the earth. It is truly a surreal, strange place to visit.

Back from Afghanistan!!!
Gwinnett’s Army National Guard 121st Infantry Unit Military Parade
show our thanks by attending the Military Parade for the Georgia National Guard Infantry Unit, Alpha Company.
Saturday, June 5, 9AM, Downtown Lawrenceville
We will gather on Pike Street, at the back side of the Historic Courthouse.
Please try to be there by 8:45 AM. Bring a small flag!
The unit was deployed to Afghanistan in May 2009, where they spent a year at a base near the eastern border of Afghanistan. In early June, elements of the Company crossed the vast mountain ranges to begin their mission. The Unit’s primary mission during the deployment was to train the Afghan National Forces.
The Unit returned in Spring of 2010. Two soldiers were killed during the mission, 1st Sgt. John Blair and SSG Alex French, IV.
1st SGT. John Blair, age 38, was the gunner on the lead MRAP–a new armored vehicle designed to be resistant to mines–in a convoy of several vehicles. Not long after leaving camp, the group came under attack. An hour-and-a-half long firefight ensued. A rocker-propelled grenade tore through the turret of the vehicle where John was a gunner. 1SG Blair is credited with saving the life of his Staff Sergeant while under attack.
SSG Alex French, age 31, was killed after enemy forces attacked his unit using an improvised-explosive device. (IED).
Canadian Forces Snowbirds demonstration team. This was a Wed. evening show at Fayetteville AR. It had rained about all day and looked like it was going to continue but we made the drive anyway. I'm glad we did, it turned out to be just about perfect.
The first image from my little 2 day trip away!
I spent 2 days, 3 nights away at my holiday house alone as a little photography get away. Normally when people go on holidays they sleep in late, watch movies and just relax. Not me!
Up early for sunrise staying awake all day scouting new locations for the sunset and following sunrise, climbing a 161m mountain for the sunset and walking through the bush in the dark (a little scary, but not that bad)
This is the very first image i took on the first sunrise! The rest of the photos should look pretty unreal once i get to them!

Blue Canyon is really a fantastic place. It is composed of sandstone, carved and eroded by thousands of years of water and wind.
The feature of the sandstone that makes this site so special is the degree of contrast between the chocolate brown and white layers. The brown layers are quite smooth, while the white layers seem to be almost corrugated.
We (Walter, John, and I) planned this trip when we heard that a flicker friend of ours from Italy (Federica) and her nephew (Francesco) were going to visit the Southwest and wanted to see Blue Canyon. Well, it was a no-brainer, and we decided we would all meet in a nearby town and visit this location together.
Since my brother John had visited it on a previous occasion, we knew how to get there, but we had a number of problems -- the worst one being a flooded wash just before the actual location. The water was a couple of feet deep, thirty or forty feet wide, and quite swift, preventing our crossing the wash. We ended up having to drive another couple of hours to come to the site from the other side. Turns out, it was well worth it for all concerned...
