After a disappointing couple of days in Bryce Canyon, I moved on to my next location which was to be Kodachrome Basin National Park, which is located between Bryce Canyon and the Grand Staircase Escalante Region of Utah. I found a great site in the primitive campground at the back of the park, I think I like this campground better than the front campground because of the dirt road leading in to it. This prevents most RV's from attempting access and is a much more serene environment, although the front campground has free showers but they can be used by all visitors, so I seized the opportunity. :)
This is the Bryce View Campground and is named so because its view overlooks not just Kodachrome Basin but also Bryce Canyon, which can be seen here off in the distance with a spectacular sunset in progress. Wouldn't you know it, the day I leave Bryce the sky explodes over it. Bah!! I guess a fourth trip to Bryce is on the itinerary in the future. "If at first you don't succeed try try again" is what I was taught. :)
I found this tree just off of the dirt road that leads back to some of the more remote formations in the park. It sits perched atop a red stone formation and stands only waist high. I tried to get a POV and composition that portrayed this tree as much bigger and an alternate composition capitalizing on it's stunted nature. I ended up liking this one better.
I am considering this to be an FDR image "Full Dynamic Range." Not an HDR image. HDR is usually associated with software designed specifically for that purpose. The problem with these software solutions is that by the time you get something you like, they introduce strong haloing properties and unpleasant artifacts which give it a fake unnatural look. By blending exposures manually you control what aspects of each exposure will be included in your final result, leading ultimately to a "Full Dynamic Range" image. Maybe we can start differentiating the two different types of processes. Have you ever had someone ask "Is it HDR" I like being able to say "NO", then again, if they have to ask then I'm getting close to real looking FDR photos.
Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great day everybody!! :)

Tras dos dias y medio en el dique seco por problemas de la computadora, como se dice por ahi, volvemos con las fotillos a este inmenso foro de flickr. Teníamos fotos. Lo que nos fallaba era la logística. Esperemos poder seguir dia a dia en esta fase 0.
Contemplamos la pista peatonal y antiguos senderos en La Galea, sobre los acantilados. Sobre las 21 horas del dia anterior, el cuatro del corriente mes, una violenta y repentina galerna obligó a paseantes y ciclistas a sujetarse con fuerza a las vallas del campo de golf. El temor a que los vientos superiores a 100 Kmts. hora los arrastrase al abismo del acantilado estuvo presente unos momentos.
Bueno, sin ningún percance, solo con el susto, la cosa no tuvo mas importancia.
Las nubes en esta bella imagen hacen todo el gasto.
Muchísimas gracias a todos los amigos de flickr por sus amables visitas, comentarios y premios a estas imágenes.

"hey little apple blossom
what seems to be the problem
all the ones you tell your troubles
to they don't really care for you come
and tell me what you're thinking
cause just when the boat is sinking
a little light is blinking
and i will come and rescue you
lots of girls walk around in tears
but that's not for you you've been
looking all around for years for
someone to tell your troubles to
come and sit with me and talk awhile
let me see your pretty little smile
put your troubles in a little pile
and i will sort them out for you
i'll fall in love with you
i think i'll marry you"

This is an image I likely wouldn't have posted, but after an interesting conversation with Flickr friend Flaushi & Friends on a swan she captured out on the ocean, I decided to share.
I had heard there was an owl at the lake not too far from work, so I decided to take a second trip (first trip was unsuccessful) after my shift to look for her. My daughter and faithful Border Collie, Bandit came along on the adventure.
After looking for a short time I spotted her out on the docks and walked around the shore trying to find a half decent angle to photograph her. In the meantime, a pair of mute swans swam over to see if we had brought them any goodies. I ignored them at first, since the owl had my full attention, but one of the two was quite persistent. He (or she) came right up to shore, stood up tall and was almost beak to nose with Bandit. Bandit was quite entertained and went into his usual OCD dance bouncing up and down on his hind legs and licking the ice at his feet. The swan wasn't at all phased and stretched out his long neck with an expectant look on his face. When he finally decided I had nothing for him, he swiftly ruffled his feathers and turned away from me. This was captured as he swam away glancing back with a look of disgust at my insensitivity for showing up empty handed.

The rook (Corvus frugilegus) is a member of the family Corvidae in the passerine order of birds. It is found in the Palearctic, its range extending from Scandinavia and western Europe to eastern Siberia. It is a large, gregarious, black-feathered bird, distinguished from similar species by the whitish featherless area on the face. Rooks nest collectively in the tops of tall trees, often close to farms or villages, the groups of nests being known as rookeries.
Rooks are mainly resident birds, but the northernmost populations may move southwards to avoid the harshest winter conditions. The birds form flocks in winter, often in the company of other Corvus species or jackdaws. They return to their rookeries and breeding takes place in spring. They forage on arable land and pasture, probing the ground with their strong bills and feeding largely on grubs and soil-based invertebrates, but also consuming cereals and other plant material. Historically, farmers have accused the birds of damaging their crops, and have made efforts to drive them away or kill them. Like other corvids, they are intelligent birds with complex behavioural traits and an ability to solve simple problems.

As I was driving by this old barnyard, I noticed a few chickens hurriedly making their way across the yard to the shed. Then I spied the problem. A cocky rooster was purposely strutting toward the hens with just one thing on his mind. All I could think of was that the farmer bought a new young rooster and the hens were not pleased. I wish I could have watched what unfolded, but I was stopped in the middle of a country road (yet again). I can hear the ladies now, “We want old Mr. Doodledont back again.”

Auf Grund vom Problemen beim Triebfahrzeug des Stammzuges aus Hamburg verließ die Oberstdorfer Kurswagengruppe den Augsburger Hauptbahnhof an Aufnahmetag mit knapp zwei Stunden Verspätung. So war der Zug auch an Stellen umsetzbar, welche bei planmäßigem Verkehren noch nicht "im Licht" sind.
218 414 hat mit dem IC 2085 Augsburg Hbf - Oberstdorf soeben den Bf Günzach durchfahren und eilt dem nächsten Halt in Kempten entgegen.
Possibly due to problems further up the track an unscheduled train ran Southbound with a loading of mainly empty flat wagons bound for Brighton Hub. There was no sign of the paper train or even train 36 at Brighton Hub. The loading for the evening's log train was enginless at the freight yard and there was no sign of any activity. However TR units 11 + 01 did give me an opportunity to shoot the train in this nice colourful spot approaching the Hub at Brighton. Rarely is the scenery this green in this area.

"Unstoppable"
You're never gonna stop me
I'm the nightmare you've been dreaming of
Now the day is approaching
Gonna show you what I'm made of
This is just the beginning
Your anxiety is justified
Let me tell you something
There's nowhere left for you to hide
Justice will be mine
You can be certain
That sound of your heartbeat
Like a time bomb slowly ticking down
You won't see me coming
I can end your life without a sound
Hear me now
It's unavoidable
I fulfill my vow
There's no escape
I am unstoppable
(I am unstoppable)
There can be no penance
For the parasite that you've become
There is no repentance
This judgment can't be undone
There will be no mercy
No lenience while I'm alive
Vengeance is coming
Believe it now, you won't survive
Justice will be mine
You can be certain
That sound of your heartbeat
Like a time bomb slowly ticking down
You won't see me coming
I can end your life without a sound
Hear me now
It's unavoidable
I fulfill my vow
I am unstoppable
Don't bother running
It's over this time
You're going to pay now
For all you have taken
Hear me now
There's no escape
I am unstoppable
I am, I am, I am, I am
I am
I am unstoppable
I am, I am, I am, I am
I am
I am unstoppable
I am, I am, I am, I am
I am
I am unstoppable
Hear me now
It's unavoidable
I fulfill my vow
I am unstoppable
Don't bother running
It's over this time
You're going to pay now
For all you have taken
Hear me now
There's no escape
I am unstoppable
(You're never gonna stop me
I am unstoppable
You're never gonna stop me)
I am unstoppable

I will be spending more time tying trout flies at night and less time putting photos on Flickr for the foreseeable future since I am only receiving a fraction of the e-mails that notify me that somebody has faved one or more of my photos. So I'm sorry if I've missed taking a look at your photostream lately. This problem has continued for more than two weeks now with no solution in sight. Concurrently, it takes ages for the pages of fellow Flickr members to load on my computer - another recent glitch since SmugMug took over, which is very frustrating. I hope Flickr gets its act together quickly so I can get back in the daily swing of things. Anyway, here you can see where I tie trout flies and put my photos up on Flickr.

Des friction lights de John Walker aux lucifers de Samuel Jones
Le pharmacien John Walker est celui qui a inventé, en 1827, la première allumette qui s’allume par friction, comme on la connaît aujourd’hui. S’inspirant des travaux d’un physicien et chimiste irlandais, Robert Boyle, il imagine un mélange qui, par friction sur une surface rugueuse, peut s’enflammer. En bon scientifique qu’il était, et ne voulant pas faire connaître le procédé de sa découverte, il refuse de la breveter, se contentant de commercialiser lui-même son produit, et de vaquer à ses occupations de pharmacien, botaniste et minéralogiste. Ce procédé de fabrication des allumettes finit par être breveté sous le nom de lucifers par un certain Samuel Jones. Les lucifers présentaient néanmoins de nombreux problèmes : flamme instable et violente, odeur désagréable. On dit que malgré tous ces désagréments, le nombre de fumeurs augmenta en raison de cette invention. Ils pouvaient enfin déambuler dans la nature, avec leurs cigarettes, cigares et pipes, en toute indépendance.
From John Walker's Friction Lights to Samuel Jones' Lucifers
In 1827, the pharmacist John Walker invented the first friction-lighting match, as we know it today. Inspired by the work of an Irish physicist and chemist, Robert Boyle, he imagined a mixture that could ignite by friction on a rough surface. As a good scientist, and not wanting to make the process of his discovery known, he refused to patent it, contenting himself with marketing his product himself, and going about his business as a pharmacist, botanist and mineralogist. This process for manufacturing matches ended up being patented under the name of Lucifers by a certain Samuel Jones. However, Lucifers presented many problems: unstable and violent flame, unpleasant odor. It is said that despite all these inconveniences, the number of smokers increased because of this invention. They could finally wander around in nature, with their cigarettes, cigars and pipes, in complete independence.

It never ceases to amaze me that people think they have climbed a mountain by parking on a roadside near the top and walking a few feet, I guess that's a sign of ageing, a different generation. In my day few had cars and we walked from the nearest village way below out of sight. At least these people are active, some even run the fells. On Sundays the car parks are full if you don't arrive early. I don't like crowds and would normally try to avoid them but on holiday one has to seize the best weather days.

A herd of bighorn sheep bachelors were taking a siesta this day a few years ago in Yellowstone NP. We tried to position ourselves from many different angles. I wanted to isolate just one for the shot, yet still keep some landscape in the image to show the habitat and tell a story. There were bighorns concentrated to the left and to the right. I found an angle I thought would work and I almost was able to get that shot ... except for the head and body of another nearby. I guess that through my lens, I thought it was a rock ... or maybe just hoping that it was. Too many bighorn, I guess that's a good problem to have, right?
Bighorn sheep are a favorite of mine. Their eyes are hypnotic and never look away. Their curls are a fantastic look back at the encounters that they've been through. Their sense of community is also impressive... that is, until it's time for the rut.
Hope that everyone has a wonderful Wednesday and thanks for stopping by to view.

A new blog post will be published tonight, so you still have time to check out the current one at:
Old infrastructure problem at Albani Falls Dam in Oldtown, Idaho. The gate is just about rusted through, and the others are not far behind, apparently. There is about a 15' difference in water level between the 2 sides, creating quite the rush of water! This is the Pend Oreille River, which carries much of the rain and snowmelt water from the NW Rocky Mountains to the Columbia River, and then to the Pacific Ocean.
Many problems I used a old picture of the Viceroy on a flower , the picture was gloss " BAD " Flash and gloss don't work well together.
