This is the old schoolhouse located in Round Valley, Idaho.
Reading some history of the area, there was mention of a survey in 1890 that lists one school in Alpha, Idaho (which there really isn't a town there but, they must have had a post office at one time in the past) I didn't see any other old schools around the area so, I'll go out on a limb and say that this is it.
This was a freezingly chilly sunrise at Mammoth Hot Creek. The wind was blowing off the Sierra Nevada, through the ravine and straight into my bones. Damn it was cold. Next time Im bringing my full winter gear.

It is a very beautiful bird with blue and orange color. It is a common winter visitor and passage migrant in Hong Kong. It inhabits between reeds or low shrubs.
You leave the house before you are really awake. You are in meetings all day. Before it gets dark, you make it home. You sit on your back porch. And a Rose-Breasted Grosbeak makes your day.
Heavy smoke from the Rough Fire obscures the sun at sunrise as the cows graze in the pasture along along a steaming Hot Creek. Hot Creek feeds into the Ownes River near Mammoth, CA.
Got in and out of here in a Jeep. My vehicle reported temperatures as low as -13 degrees Fahrenheit, but it had probably "warmed up" by this point to -5.
A beautiful view of the South end of the Long Valley Caldera. The body of water you see is Crowley lake with the Owens river snaking in.

Hacklebarney State Park is a state park of the U.S. state of New Jersey, located between Long Valley and Chester in Morris County. Hacklebarney State Park is a hiking destination year round. It has 978 acres (3.96 km2) and multiple hiking trails throughout the park. Through the middle of the park runs the Black River. The river is fed by two brooks, Trout and Rinehart. The Black River is flanked by massive boulders. These boulders create many waterfalls that can be seen from the trail. At the end of the trail the river lets out into a pond where people can swim. The park is known for its hiking and scenery, especially in the fall when the leaves begin to change colors.
I needed to get down and dirty for this perspective. Without significant snow accumulation, the ponds edge will remain dried clumped grasses. A barren site with no sign of moisture.
The ubiquitous rural barn is inescapable dotting our Alberta prairies, and quick eye candy for photographers looking to latch onto a subject. No two weather the same, nor speak of usefulness or secrets from yesteryear. Shelter from wind, rain, heat and snow.
During the next twenty five years, few will remain, tumbling to knotted rubble, or subject to a farmers reluctant match.
From splinter to splinter, its always great to find stories virtually on my doorstep.
Which led to my thinking about how anonymous these structures live, from construction to final ash. No signs, no markers. Until this location, where I discovered a well constructed museum style sign reading.

Giving a name to a face or a history to a raft of lumber is decidedly personal, and I wish more locations had markers, telling of signs to come.

We have two storms passing through this week, expected to drop 5 -7 feet of snow in the Sierra Nevada. We could have amazing conditions on our way to Death Valley in our workshop starting Wednesday!
Normally photographers separate out the meteors from the background to create a composite image. I decided to try a few composites where I left the stars in. They trace their path through our sky nicely, like a star trails image, without fully eclipsing our view of the meteors.
This image contains a real reflection, as in all of my images (I consider undisclosed faked reflections to be unethical).

This is my preference. I'd much rather camp out on BLM land for the solitude it provides especially here in the Owens Valley. Sure it's nice to stay in a hotel for a shower and a real bed, but out here there are no crowds, seldom a passerby, and oh, you can't beat the views!
Thanks so much for taking the time to look!
A common but colourful winter visitor in Hong Kong. Male has more prominent colour than female. Both sexes have a reddish brown tail and a white patch on wings. You can find them easily on open fields such as Long Valley.
