As a Suburban line trains reverses east to put itself away in Metra's yard at Blue Island a train for Joliet tears west under one of at least 5 searchlight cantilevers in a 2 mile stretch. Also seen peeking out from between the twin through trusses is an outbound Illinois Central Electric Blue Island branch train.
This was taken west from Hover Street up the Burlington RR branch to Lyons and the cement plant and toward Golden Ponds when I walked across the street. The status of the cement plant is questionable now. It has quarry and gravel pits itself that are probably all wet today. I was told the water was up to the car's windows, left, yesterday Two rivers converge in front of Broley. Some folks are convinced the river ought to be moved back. Darwin should chime in on that idea. I was sitting at my place and spoiling to get out during a brief respite. I walked over to Hover Street and on down to the bridge at 3rd Avenue to look over the mess. I didn't get a block down the street before catching a couple of shots of the sky before walking all the way down. The bridge was closed the last time. I was told that the water was topping the bridge yesterday. Some of these bridges were recently rebuilt to accommodate the walking/biking path and were thus larger spans and built with recent design concepts. Parks designs saved a lot of the town. They are water parks now.
Good news though: the two gals who camped and were stranded near the Keyhole[www.14ers.com/routemain.php?route=long1&peak=longs+peak] on Long's Peak were apparently safe from the floods, chuckle. I have been up there and it is reasonably safe from flooding. The bread and milk may have been gone from the Estes Safeway when the gals got down! Estes Park was completely cut off with #34 and #36 wrecked and #72, Peak-2-Peak closed. They designated Trail Ridge over the Divide as emergency vehicles only. The Safeway truck was unloading at the time and got stranded so it emptied everything at the Estes store. What a stroke!
Yesterday I almost got knocked over by another storm and I had to run to retrieve my cap. I heard more Chinook helicopters on the way to evac Lyons, Colorado. etc. I woke up to lightning, thunder and a rain storm at 5:30 this morning. I heard Lyons is three islands now. Broley is an island. [http://www.flickr.com/photos/rockypix/sets/72157630174540860/]
Haystack Rock, along Cannon Beach along the Pacific Ocean in Oregon. The rock is 235 feet tall, and some claim that it is third tallest intertidal structure in the world. If it looks familiar, it's been used as the backdrop for lots of movies (like Kindergarten Cop and the Goonies).
My brother was much more adventurous at rock hopping than me - better balance, footwear and not a DSLR around his neck!
First time visiting Smith Rock in Central Oregon. I definitely plan to go back for a longer period to further explore the park, one morning doesn't really do it justice.
Tänzerinnen sind in der Rockmusik nicht üblich, da Rockbands klassischerweise aus Sängern, Gitarristen, Bassisten und Schlagzeugern bestehen. Es gibt auch rein weibliche Rockbands oder Bands mit Tänzerinnen, aber diese sind eher die Ausnahme als die Regel.
Female dancers aren't common in rock music, as rock bands traditionally consist of singers, guitarists, bassists, and drummers. There are also all-female rock bands or bands with female dancers, but these are the exception rather than the rule.
Hanging Rock (formally known as Mount Diogenes), in central Victoria, Australia, is a distinctive geological formation, 718m above sea level (105m above plain level) on the plain between the two small townships of Newham and Hesket, approximately 70 km north-west of Melbourne and a few kilometres north of Mount Macedon, a former volcano. Best known as the site where a party of schoolgirls disappeared in February 1900 in the fictional story Picnic at Hanging Rock, Hanging Rock is located within the Wurundjeri nation's territory.
Hanging Rock is a mamelon, created 6.25 million years ago by stiff magma pouring from a vent and congealing in place. Often thought to be a volcanic plug, it is not. Two other mamelons exist nearby, created in the same period: Camels Hump, to the south on Mount Macedon and, to the east, Crozier's Rocks.[citation needed] All three mamelons are made of solvsbergite, a form of trachyte only found in two or three other places in the world. As Hanging Rock's magma cooled and contracted it split into rough columns. These weathered over time into the many pinnacles that can be seen today.
Hanging Rock contains numerous distinctive rock formations, including the "Hanging Rock" itself (a boulder suspended between other boulders, under which is the main entrance path), the Colonnade, the Eagle and the UFO. The highest point on Hanging Rock is 718 metres above sea level and 105 metres above the plain below. Hanging Rock is located within the Wurundjeri nation's territory but they exercised a custodial responsibility on behalf of the surrounding tribes in the Kulin nation. It was a site of male initiation and as such entry was forbidden except those young males being taken there for ceremonial initiation. After colonial settlement the Aboriginal people of the area were quickly dispossessed and forced out of the area by 1844. However one last initiation ceremony was held there in approximately November 1851 by a Wurundjeri Elder from the Templestowe area in the Yarra Valley. This ceremony was also attended by two young settlers' children, Willie Chivers, 11, and his younger brother Tom, 7, who were being cared for on a daily basis by the tribe after their mother had died. Their father went missing after looking for their mother. (Wikepedia excerpt)

This was not easy because of the exposure difference between the upper and lower parts of the shot. I did two HDR images, balanced the exposures by eye, converted them to TIFFs and then ran the stitch in Photoshop.
See the ghost bird? It flew in on one of the upper frame exposures.
Directly above the rock is huge Celebrity Cruise ship that had just pulled out of Victoria harbor about 30 minutes previous. The 28mm wide on the G10 makes things small in the distance.
This is the thing about HDR. It gives you a better chance to convey a moment the way you enjoyed it with your eyes, adjusting exposure on the many parts of a scene, taking it all in. It is just photographic technology, not the "bastardization" some camera purists make it out to be. These same purists might be shocked to learn some of the darkroom tricks of their heroes. Photography does not end the moment the light hits film or sensor. At least, not for ME it doesn't ;-)
Sentinel Rock on the right with Union Point on the left emerging from the clouds with a fresh dusting of snow reflecting off of the Merced River on a cold, cloudy, snowy February afternoon, Yosemite National Park.
I love music. So much.
I wanted to try to express how much, and jumping seemed to fit. I just got the new Broken Bells CD in the mail and it's made me super happy. I had it blaring during this shoot to inspire some moves. Hear the inspiration.
Also, pretty excited about my newly painted wall. We painted our living room wall this red yesterday. I looove it!!!

"WHAT'S THAT?" Danger Ted demanded, keeking out from his winter hibernation quarters in his Big Pal's jacket .
"What's what?"
"That scary thing over there with the HUGE teeth."
"Oh that, DT. that's just a rock that the people in Millport paint to look like a big crocodile."
"A rock painted like a crocodile! And why, BP, was I not informed of this?"
"To tell you the truth, DT, I was wondering why you had never demanded to see it before."
"INVESTIGATE AT ONCE!"
Once he had decided that the Crocodile Rock was not scary a all, Danger Ted insisted on enacting a daring "saving a damsel bear in distress" scenario.

The Dome of the Rock (Arabic: مسجد قبة الصخرة, translit.: Masjid Qubbat As-Sakhrah, Hebrew: כיפת הסלע, translit.: Kipat Hasela, Turkish: Kubbetüs Sahra) is an Islamic prayer house, it remains one of the more popularly known landmarks of Jerusalem. It was built between 687 and 691 by the 9th Caliph, Abd al-Malik making it the oldest extant Islamic building in the world. The Rock under the Dome was the first praying direction for Muslims before Mecca. Next to the Dome of the Rock lies the congregation building of Al-Aqsa Mosque both lie within the vicinity of what Jews and Christians call Har ha-Bayit (Hebrew: הר הבית) or the Temple Mount.
