View in FULL size. Rocks slide across the dry lake at Racetrack Playa, Death Valley, California. Some people call this the Devil's Racetrack, but I didn't see no devils! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racetrack_Playa
Nikon D4 | ISO 800 | 500mm lens | f / 4.0 | 1/8000 second. Nothing like a day game to freeze the action with a silly high shutter speed.
We're camped just outside of Hope BC right now and this is what we woke up to. Took the Pup out to do his duty's this morning and he just looked at me and said let's go for it.
This shot is taken where the Hope Slide happened back in early January 1965. Two miles of Highway 3 we're covered with rubble upward of 240 feet deep. Four people we're caught in the slide, they have found 2 of them. The other 2 we're never found.
Funny spend 6 months down south to avoid the white stuff, but sure was excited to see it again this morning

A Mixture of Light and Clouds as we begin a new day and a new month!!! Happy December and Advent! Let us focus on Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love in the weeks ahead
This was a possible contender for the Saturday challenge for 2nd April, ‘units of measure’. Well, there are plenty of units here, though what they’re measuring I’ve long forgotten, if I ever knew! I bought this slide rule in 1965 when I went up to University to read for a science degree, but I never really got to grips with it - and indeed I never really got to grips with the degree course either, perhaps because it was about then I discovered that there were far more exciting things in life! And complex mathematical calculations weren’t really called for during my Customs career, as long as I could work out how much VAT was on something at whatever %age was in force, so the slide rule has remained in the back of a drawer ever since.
And who uses a slide rule these days, with all the calculating power you need right there on your tablet or phone? Though of course a slide rule never needs recharging, so this one’s as ready for action now as it was 57 years ago - if only I could remember how to work it!

took this picture of a great sunset reflection off a white limo that had very little color in it. sliding it with Picasa's Heat Map sure made it pop though. the reflection is of mountains & a city (in blue) and the sky is orange
