While hunting for a composition, I came across this rocky area at Marshall Point. It looked like it had potential, so I examined it further from various perspectives. As in Risk Management, one hedges against the future hoping for the best outcome. And since it is always a crap shoot, we do our best to prepare as best we can.

The sunset may or may not arrive. But 80% of successful landscape photography is being there. After that, having a scenic landscape combined with sunset colours, help with the final result. The rest is in the form of technique and can be found on numerous YouTube videos.

One man’s junk is another man’s treasure.

The remains of "La Fonderie de l'Authion", near Angers, France. Established in 1955, this foundry of aluminium, which once employed up to 220 workers, used to produce pieces for the Car Industry (General Motors, Peugeot-Citroën, Renault, Volkswagen), and it didn't survive the "crisis" of 2008-2009.

A section of the vast Forumile Management Area east of Buena Vista, Colorado. The rounded peaks in the far background are Buffalo Peaks and the Buffalo Peaks Wilderness. The rock formation in the center is called Castle Rock. I often spot Bighorn Sheep near and around it. The area is jointly managed by the US Forest Service, BLM, Friends of Fourmile and other groups.

Went for a walk at Draper Wildlife Management area today. Super early to get the sunlight and try to avoid the super heat.

Cooper's hawk (Astur cooperii) is a medium-sized hawk native to the North American continent and found from southern Canada to Mexico. This species was formerly placed in the genus Accipiter. As in many birds of prey, the male is smaller than the female.

Storage of water in times of extreme drought.

There's a 1958-built GP10 there somewhere.

I stopped by Waste Management's Annapolis Junction plant. A few minutes after my arrival a guy walked towards the silent GP10. I guessed what would follow and got myself in position.

Objectively (my mind tells me) this is not a good thing, but what a visual spectacle.

Sun Valley, CA

3/4/17

WMmaster626, Alex Clemmans and I headed over to Waste Management Sun Valley to check out their fleet. Sun Valley recently received 2 new LNG Peterbilt Amreps that will most likely end up in Palmdale once Sun Valley receives their new CNG fleet. There were also thousands of new black dumpsters all over the Sun Valley yard that extended to where the Bradley Landfill once was active. The Sun Valley staff was great and even started up the Road Commander for us. Thank you WMmaster626, Alex Clemmans for a great day and special thanks to the friendly Waste Management staff at Sun Valley.

Leftover from the era of Big Timber, nearly 380,000 miles of roads riddle our forests. Unneeded and unmaintained roads are leading to a host of environmental problems.
