Took a walk on the High Line during a cold(15ÂşF/-9.4ÂşC) January evening. Was the emptiest I've ever seen.
This is Fisherman's Terminal in Seattle and is home to the North Pacific Fishing Fleet. This was taken from the memorial area which honors those lost at sea.
The Milky Way as seen from Simmesport, Louisiana. Nice dark night after the moon went down (3am). Shot on a Canon 600D with a Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 MF lens.

Wanted to get in one more visit before this place was fully renovated although it seems the work has been halted for some time. It's changed so much since my last(pre reno) visit years ago. Most of the spaces are pretty much gutted. It still has that abandoned feel but its fading.
Lenin's head, with a little Mao balancing on top of his head.
This huge Vladimir Lenin popped up overnight this past weekend at La Brea and Fourth St., outside a building owned by Ace Gallery (a Banksy appeared on and was removed from a wall there in 2010). The piece is "Miss Mao Trying to Poise Herself at the Top of Lenin's Head" by the Chinese artist brothers Gao Zhen and Gao Qiang and it caused an uproar at the Vancouver Sculpture Biennale in late 2009. Blog Fairfax By Night first spotted the sculpture and explains "With a vivid chrome finish, the metal sculpture is constructed from horizontal sections that were purposefully staggered...As such a well know person, the artists' decision to give his face a chrome finish takes the focus away from Lenin, and to the sculpture's context by allowing the reflections to highlight the immediate surroundings instead of Lenin..." In this case, of course, that's a slightly blighty intersection on a drive-through section of La Brea.

We took a quick road trip to Arches. First day was rained out but the next afforded us a couple of hours before we had to head out.
Behold the beautiful sunrise view of Dhampus, Pokhara, with the majestic Machhapuchhare (Fishtail) mountain in the background.
Created fairly recently (2005), Ojito is one of New Mexico's lesser known wilderness regions, occupying 11,000 acres of the high desert west of San Ysidro, bordering the Zia Indian Reservation. This part of the state lies right at the edge of the Colorado Plateau, a vast area of layered sandstone rocks of different colors, and as with other nearby sections also protected as wilderness such as Ah-Shi-Sle-Pah, Bisti and De-Na-Zin, Ojito features beautiful eroded rock formations including hoodoos, caprocks, cliffs and solidified dunes, together with petrified wood and other fossils, plus occasional petroglyphs and ancient ruins. Unlike the more well known areas further northwest (all within the San Juan Basin), the Ojito Wilderness is more overgrown and less remarkable at first sight, as the interesting locations are generally small, isolated and take some effort to find - most of the region is a rather nondescript mixture of bushy flats, twisting ravines and low mesas, not much different to the land at either side, which is similar in appearance for a hundred miles or more in some directions. Perhaps the single most impressive site in the locality is just outside the wilderness - the San Ysidro Anticline, where the sandstone strata have been pushed up to create a 3 mile long band of colorful ridges and ravines.
