Johannesburg Inner City is supposedly a dangerous place. I am not sure why, but I did conform with the directions of my black driver who took me around the place and kept the car windows closed. We didn't stop at all and all pictures taken within the Inner City limits were taken through the closed window of a car on the move.
I must say, though, I didn't see anything dangerous outside. I saw ruins of buildings and even some ruins of people, I saw poor people going here and there, but I did not feel threatened... It was a Sunday morning, lots of people were on the streets and on the sidewalks, but I saw no strange transaction, no drugs changing hands, no weapons flashed.
I may be wrong but I saw nothing that might have put my life at risk, if at some point I chose to get out of the car and take a walk around this place, as I so very much wanted to do!
Inner Basin Trail in the San Francisco Peaks at the start of fall color season, 2017. The trail follows Waterline Road for a half mile before turning to ascend into the Inner Basin of the San Francisco Peaks.

My alter-ego believes that I can look at myself in the mirror and say these words above with confidence. I believe it is possible, but it will take time.
I found this quote that sums it up nicely:
"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Early morning hike on Inner Basin Trail, San Francisco Peaks.
2009-05-30: Saturday evening, we were sitting on the front porch after our evening walk, enjoying a cup of chai and watching the sun set. There had been rain during the late afternoon, and heavy clouds had descended over the Peaks, hiding the mountain from view. The clouds had lifted in time for our evening ritual, and we noticed there was new snow on the upper tips of the Peaks. As we sipped our tea, we joked “If we were really motivated, we’d get up early, hit the Inner Basin Trail at dawn, and get some good photos before the snow melts off…”
2009-05-31: …so, at 4:00AM we stumbled out of bed, grabbed some coffee, got dressed, grabbed more coffee and rolled out the door around 4:30AM. We drove up the mountain, and hit the trail around 5:15AM. There was a bit of a breeze making the hike rather chilly. Everything was wet and green, and the aspens created a delectable aroma. Past Jack Spring (1.5 miles from the trailhead) we hit the frost line, and the vegetation sparkled (and the air was noticeably chillier). We arrived at the Inner Basin (the point where there’s a shelter and pumphouse, and all the Peaks are visible) around 6:45AM. We’d expected some shade still at that hour, and were delighted to discover the sun was shining right up through the low point in the Peaks (the north-eastern side, where the wall was blown out during an eruption), lighting up the entire Inner Basin for us. We wandered around a bit capturing various shots, then headed back to attend to our day’s activities.

So I have been on a bit of a hiatus when it comes to photography and the past few months have been interesting for me to say the least. I'v been through somewhat of a personal battle, hence the title of inner turmoil. The death of my Mom was something I thought I had accepted a long time ago. Sadly I was wrong and recent events managed to show me that it is still an open wound I may never be able to fully close. But now I'm back and eager to get out there and shoot again so hopefully I don't need to take a break again for a long time.
I got the Special Edition Aurora Animator Doll today, her release day, from my local Disney Store. I picked out the best of the four copies that they on the shelves. She is $59.95, same as the other Special Edition DAC dolls released so far (Tinker Bell and Rapunzel). I got 10% off using a D23 coupon. She has golden blonde hair, a gold crown with white and red jewels, dark pink shoes and white underskirt. Her gown has sheer sleeves and a wide white collar with gold trim.
She is wearing her pink gown with light up effects. In the Try Me mode (which is factory default), when you press the plastic flower on her belt, the dress lights up with blue lights, then pink, then both blue and pink, with each effect lasting about two seconds. After deboxing her, and switching the mode to the On state, when you press the flower, the blue lights come on for 10 seconds. Then press it again for 10 seconds of pink lights. Finally pressing it a third time lights up both the pink and blue lights for about 10 seconds.
She can free stand fairly stably, but my doll leans to the right because her legs and feet aren't even. So for all but the one shot, I have her supported by a Kaiser stand. Finally I put her back in her box for safe keeping. She is 15 inches high to the top of her head (the website lists her as 16 inches).
She was also released online today. There was a companion piece released today, the DAC Aurora Bed Set ($49.95), but my local store didn't have it.
The Inner Basin Trail ascends from Lockett Meadow into the caldera of the San Francisco Peaks, an extinct volcano and home of the tallest peaks in Arizona. The first 1.7 miles of the trail winds through the extensive aspen forest flanking the upper reaches of the Peaks, joining the Waterline Trail briefly before following a jeep road into the caldera. The trail starts at an elevation of 8665 feet, gaining approximately 1200 feet over 2 miles on its way into the Inner Basin. The trail continues another 2 miles, gaining an additional 600 feet or so to join up with the Weatherford Trail.

(View it Large) Maybe it's just me, but the sky always impresses me more than any building could. Minutes after this picture was taken the sky darkened up as snow threatens the area

The Inner City Church is the oldest Church on the Pest side, and is where Saint Gellert is buried.
The church was built in the 14th century in Gothic Style. The Church has had many renovations, and was almost torn down to build the Elisabeth Bridge.
