High tide and a buttermilk (or mackerel) sky when I ventured out for some some fresh air at lunchtime
A section of Manhattan’s High Line at 10th Avenue and 16th Street. Between 1934 and 1980 an elevated portion of the New York Central Railroad brought freight trains directly into the Merchants Refrigerating Company Warehouse in Chelsea. The building is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

This was taken in Flagstaff, Arizona on a beautiful fall day. The sky was actually just plain blown out white. The trees are all just yellow so I really enjoyed being able to add a bit of orange to this one and making it look like a storm was on the way.
This was one of my entries in the club's recent photo contest that featured high key shots. Took this while visiting the local zoo and it didn't really matter if I took it in color or black and white. Just had to use a little help from my camera's hi-contrast grainy filter. I really liked how it turned out. So did the club.
It's highly recommended to give your heart a little loving every day,and not to count on others to do it for you, and once you have then you are well prepared to pass that loving around ... quite simple ...
With all my heart ... have a great weekend people... xox

Inside Toton depot high up on the jacks are class 20 locomotives 20132 (D8132) in Railfreight livery, with 20171 (D8171) in the more conventional Rail Blue livery.
20132 is still on the mainline (October 2014) still wearing the same livery too.
20171 was withdrawn this month and was cut up 08/91 by MC Metals Glasgow
16th December 1989
A couple of weeks ago, Dave and I spent an evening pouring over maps, exploding all our paragliding and camping gear over a room, finally composing our gear and a plan to carry us for potentially many kilometres over the wildest landscape that I had yet flown in New Zealand.
The next morning we set off at dawn for the start of our journey: Kidds Bush, near The Neck of lakes Wanaka and Hawea. Allowing 2.5 hours to ascend the spur, I was surprised when we reached a suitable launch in under 90 minutes; a perfect start, allowing us more time to soak in the view, prepare our kit, and assess conditions. It also allowed more time for the nervous anticipation to brew. The view was already inspiring: intense aque-marine water of Hawea set against rugged spurs leading to lofty peaks. We intended to fly straight in to the heart of that rugged landscape, and although we had a rough plan, in reality we had no idea where we would land, or sleep, later that day.
Kit prepared, final routines executed, we pulled our wings in to the air and soared over the warm easterly face of the spur above the Sawyer Burn track. Soon we we working small bubbles that helped us slowly ascend towards our first milestone: Sentinel Peak. The going was really slow, no classic thermal that takes us in one exhilirating journey to cloud-base. Instead, a metres here and there, using each little gain to push further back on to higher ridges, all the while making sure we had a safe glide out over the mainly forested gully below.
Finally, we found the stronger stuff, and reached the clouds above Sentinel Peak; now, in theory, the world was our oyster. In practice though, the sky didn't look so great in our desired direction - the north-east - so we followed the west side of the range, chasing the better-looking clouds, making good progress past Makarora. Our slow start meant that we didn't have as much of a usable day left by the time we got up to cloud-base, and after a few hours we noticed the climbs becoming weaker, harder to harness, so we started looking for options. My priority was to avoid having to hike in the morning: land high, sleep high, launch with minimal exertion the next day. We pushed past one attractive hill, with a flat top, steep northerly face, and some tarns, to try its neighbour to the north. If we got a climb off it, we'd push a little further north, if not, it seemed possible to make it our home for the night.
The climb never materialised, so soon enough we were lining ourselves up with a flat-topped ridge that was slightly worryingly strewn with rocks and scree. Dave aimed perfectly on top of the ridge first, and I was glad for his advice that the wind was coming straight up the face, making my choice of landing spot much easier.
It wasn't quite 6pm, so there was plenty light left. Once packed and fed, we had plenty time to do nothing but soak up the landscape from our lofty vantage point, nobody in sight, and the only human noise being the distant traffic on the Haast Pass. 30km from where we started was a lot less than we thought we could have potentially flown that day, but it was our first attempt at vol-biv flying, and we accepted that it was a small step to bigger things. With a view like this, there was really nothing to be disappointed about.
Messing around with that crazy high resolution mode on my Olympus PEN-F yesterday. These shots don't really make huge sense for its application, but it is neat to think how large I can print these 80MP monstrosities. Might have to try that just for sake of SCIENCE.

Photos taken for work from the CIML Metro Conference volleyball tournament, featuring East, Hoover, Lincoln, North and Roosevelt high schools from Des Moines along with Ottumwa High School. The Roosevelt Roughriders won the conference title for the 5th year in a row. I look to shoot sports, but for me volleyball is the hardest one for me capture.
Sunrise High Sierra Camp is one of the five High Sierra Camps in Yosemite National Park. These camps provide day hikers food and bed without the burden of heavy backpack. You can hike in one of them and return the other day, or try to finish the loop by staying one night in each camp.

Circa 1972. She was another friend in German language class. I recall that I knew her brother first from junior high school, but didn’t realize that they were siblings until high school.
