While driving along the Kings Canyon we realized it was only a couple hours to sunset. Importantly we had not decided any place where we wanted to get the sunset. For a change it was drizzling all afternoon and I was thinking of getting some nice post-rain clouds for the sunset. We finally decided to drive back to Sequoia and get the sunset at the Moro Rock. It was about an hour away from the Kings Canyon National Park.
As we arrived at the spot after climbing like 500 stairs, we were greeted with this awesome view. This is the west side where all the magic was happening.
The stairs go right to the top, an exasperating climb but completely worth the effort. At times a bit unsafe as the railings are absent, but no biggy! Excellent place to watch stars if you stay late on the top. This was taken from about half climb where there is a small balcony put out to watch the wavy valley.
The windy roads down the valley looked tempting. I instantly wanted to get the light trails of the cars driving back from the NP. I stayed up late and tried many exposures before I was sure about the settings. About 20min after the sunset I started to see the trials in 3-4min exposures but still the top of the photograph was too exposed. Had to wait a bit more for the light on the top to get less intense. The worry was the valley can get too dark! This was my third and final shot with a 6min exposure after the sun was completely down. Eventually, I realized its only a 15min window when the light is right to expose the shot right and get the trails distinct enough to stand out of the scene. The lights in the back is Visalia and Tulare.
Will post a few more shots from a day before.

Walking down familiar streets in our neighborhood, I was stunned to see a group of seedpods moving in the breeze. Upon closer examination I found that the covering of this plant was quite hard with sharp thorns. It was then that I realized I was looking at the remnants of a Nigella flower.
I can hardly wait until next year when I can study those incredible flowers more closely. This is a good reminder to get out there and walk around your neighborhood....and pay attention to your surroundings

Thanks for looking! Isn't God a great artist?
I realize that this is not a great picture, but I am posting it because I find it interesting. In the original it actually looks like the sun is pouring into the room and over the desks. In B & W I find it just looks a little more spooky!
Have a nice evening =)
I have decided to upload smaller size versions of my photos because I have become aware that some people think it's ok to steal our photos.
Tom and I realized, albeit reluctantly, that Saturday evening was going to be a lost cause up at Crater Lake as the clouds continued to roll in. We made the painful decision to bail on Crater Lake and to head South in an attempt to get a sunset on Siskiyou Lake by 5 PM. We drove straight down and arrived in time, but the clouds had moved in faster than we had anticipated and the sunset was a bust. Feeling somewhat dejected, we continued our drive South to a Travel Lodge in Redding and called it a night.
We were both up by 3:45 AM on Sunday morning and looked outside to find that it was already pouring. Our thought at this point was to head East in an attempt to drive out from under the clouds and grab a sunrise. We headed first to Lassen National Park where it was already beginning to snow, but we realized that we were out of luck with the sunrise as well.
Tom's suggestion was that we just head North up highway 89 to Burney Falls. I had never heard of these falls before, but Tom said Teddy Roosevelt had proclaimed them to be the 8th wonder of the world. We both rolled our eyes as we got out of the car about an hour later. We were in the middle of nowhere, and didn't seem to be near any sizable mountains, so how impressive could these falls be?
But as we neared the gorge, we could hear the roar of these falls growing stronger. It was still pouring down at this point and Tom and I seemed to be the only lunatics shooting this early on a very rainy Sunday morning. As we approached the first overlook, we both just stopped in our tracks. And then we both shot non-stop for the next 90 minutes. The leaves surrounding the falls were still changing and the challenge at this point was to frame these falls in a compelling way as they were HUGE. Not quite Niagra, but still far more impressive than what either one of us was expecting.
If you happen to be driving out on highway 89 (not sure WHO is out driving on highway 89 as it was pretty empty for miles while we were driving) you might consider stopping by McArthur–Burney Falls Memorial State Park. The falls are literally in the middle of nowhere and you'll have to keep an eye out for the sign, but well worth a stop. Especially on a very rainy Sunday morning in November.

I have to tell you...I have plenty of such sunset - during my holidays - everyday I rode my bike up to the hill to see it. OK, part of the trail I walked next to my bike.. But still I was dead tired when I was gripping my camera (I often realized I left my place too late) but the view alwas rewarded me.

Thanks for Viewing.
I just realized that I haven't kept a promise I made a few weeks ago.
And I had promised you the picture of a beautiful historic building that everyone in the city of Lübeck knows, the salt storage. Well, here it is.
It consists of a series of storage buildings built between 1579 (far left) and 1745 (far right). You can see the different architectural styles of the individual parts very well.
Despite the name, not only salt was stored here, but also cloth, grain and wood.
But it all started with salt. This was mainly needed to preserve fish caught in Norway (we're still talking about the 16th century). Pretty impressive.
Soeben habe ich realisiert, dass ich ein Versprechen noch nicht eingelöst habe, was ich vor einigen Wochen gegeben habe.
Und zwar hatte ich Euch noch das Bild eines wunderschönes historischen Gebäudes versprochen, was in Lübeck jeder kennt, den Salzspeicher. Nun, hier ist er.
Er besteht aus einer Reihe von Lagergebäuden, die in der Zeit von 1579 (ganz links) bis 1745 (ganz rechts) erbaut wurden. Man kann sehr gut die unterschiedlichen Baustile der einzelnen Teile erkennen.
Trotz des Namens wurde hier nicht nur Salz gelagert, sondern auch Tuch, Korn oder Holz.
Mit Salz jedoch fing alles an. Dieses wurde hauptsächlich zu konservieren von Fisch benötigt, der in Norwegen gefangen wurde (wir reden immer noch vom 16. Jahrundert). Schon ganz schön beeindruckend.

About the location:
Last night I was lazing around the house, not really motivated to do anything. At around 2:00am I realized that sunrise was only a couple of hours away so I checked the Yahoo weather map conveniently located in the titlebar in Flickr, and it was showing a thin cloud layer to the west moving around 5 mph in my direction. This location is only 35 minutes from my house so I decided that I would stay up through the night and get a super early start. I always face a difficult choice on my way up into the mountains. If I head west on Hwy 138 then I have only this view without any backup locations, but if I head east I have several other options but no view that includes the city, so I have to feel pretty confident about the cloud coverage to head west but I could feel the light coming on this morning. This is a view over Lone Pine Canyon road, the city in the distance, because of the angle looks like one but is actually 3 cities, San Bernardino, Redlands and Beaumont blending together and leading up to Mount San Jacinto in the background.
About the shot:
This was shot using a technique in which you trick the camera into thinking something it's not seeing. I first set the camera to spot metering and metered the sky. Then it set the camera to underexpose by 2 stops switch to manual focus and refocus on the city lights, then I light painted the foreground with a couple of lights at a WB of 5000k.
Thank you for taking the time to visit and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! :)
If you have any questions about this photo or about photography in general, I will do my best to help, just post a comment or send me a Flickr mail and I will respond as quickly as possible.
Mikey: Don’t you realize? The next time you see the sky, it’ll be over another town. The next time you take a test, it’ll be in some other school. Our parents, they want the best of stuff for us. But right now, they got to do what’s right for them because it’s their time. Their time! Up there! Down here, it’s our time. It’s our time down here. That’s all over the second we ride up “Troy’s bucket.”

“Yesterday, Day of Recollection, realized again above all my need for profound and total humility—especially in relation to any work I may do for peace. Humility is more important than zeal. Descent into nothingness and dependence on God. Otherwise I am just fighting the world with its own weapons, and there the world is unbeatable. Indeed, it does not even have to fight back: I will exhaust my self and that will be the end of my stupid efforts. To seek strength in God, especially in the Passion of Christ.”
“On the night watch, hurrying by, I pushed open the door of the novice’s scriptorium and flashed the light over all the empty desks. It was as if the empty room were wholly full of their hearts and their love, as if their goodness had made the place wholly good and rich with love. The loveliness of humanity, which God has taken to Himself in love, and the wonder of each individual person among them. This is of final and eternal significance. To have been appointed by God to be their Father, to have received them from God as my children, to have loved them and been loved by them with such simplicity and sincerity, without nonsense or flattery or sentimentality: this is completely wonderful and is a revelation...”
- Thomas Merton, The Intimate Merton (December 11,1961)
Well I believe there's something watching over you
They're watching every single thing you say
And when you die they'll set you down and take you through
You'll realize one day
That the grass is always greener on the other side
The neighbor's got a new car that you want to drive
And when time is running out you want to stay alive
We all live under the same sky
We all will live we all will die
There is no wrong
There is no right
The circle only has one side
We all try hard to live our lives in harmony
For fear of falling swiftly overboard
But life is both a major and minor key
Just open up the chord
But the grass is always greener on the other side
The neighbour's got a new car that you want to drive
And when time is running out you want to stay alive
We all live under the same sky
We all will live
We all will die
There is no wrong
There is no right
The circle only has one side

So this is my first attempt at drawing a full head of hair, so of course I had to pick a target in motion cause I like punishment lol. I always try to do a bit of hair editing on my pictures but I realized just how different is it drawing it all from scratch. Thank you tutorials!! I also painted the fur over the furs she wore because I figured why not go full out if this is going to be so obviously edited anyways. I like the way the fur turned out better than how the hair did though. Gonna do more practice, it's not terrible for a first try but I know I can do better. Practice number one.
Long rant over!

Realized almost too late that there was an active isolated cell to the south of me. By the time I got my gear set-up it quickly died on me. But not without getting one decent snap before it did :-

do you realize
that happiness makes you cry?

I didn't realize this species had this color under its wings where it is normally hidden. I leave it for my flickr friends to guess what kind of bird this is.
Later Update: the winner is Carol who correctly ID'd this as a tufted titmouse.
Just realized that this photo is exactly one year old to the day :-). I haven't planted any fresh bluebells on my balcony yet this year. However, I have overwintered last year's plants and think that the relatively mild winter did not freeze the plants, so they will recover in the next few days. Our winters are getting warmer and shorter, and some plant life is adapting.

Upon realizing none of the Class 1s were providing anything more than 1 train in the area, it was obvious that this was the move. Thankfully, there was a red leader on point this day, instead of the yellow 60Ms that have been ruling this train for a while now.
However, with the addition of two GP59s (and constant rumors of repainting the 60Ms), red leaders just may become the norm again in the near future.
Early in 1914, moreover, we realized that it would be impossible to free the Saint Anna from the ice; at best, we would drift until the autumn of 1915, more than three years after we had departed Alexandrovsk.* If we stayed on board, starvation would become a real threat by January 1915, if not sooner. In the darkness of the long polar night, a struggle against hunger carries no hope of salvation. During this season, hunting is out of the question, as all animals are in hibernation. The only certainty for those trapped in its realm is that "white death" lies in wait for them.
