The view from Misery Ridge looks like Godzilla decided to take a nap face down.
On this night, Michael Shainblum and I decided to hike high up on Smith Rock to take in this spectacular vantage point.
With sheer drop offs everywhere, we had to tread very carefully because we planned on hiking back in the dark much later that night.
We both had a good feeling that we'd witness a special sunset and you can imagine our delight as the clouds began to glow with the light from that setting sun.
For about thirty minutes, the two of us were in nerdy raptures as the light just got more and more intense.
At that point we'd have been happy if that was the pinnacle of our adventure. Later that night, things got even more amazing as a lightning storm crept over the distant mountains.
But that's another story...
Thanks for looking

A Church Ave-bound crosstown G train swings through the curve just west of the station at Smith-9th Streets, Brooklyn. This is the highest elevation on the New York City Subway system, built high above Gowanus Creek to allow ships passage underneath.
It's a height far in excess of what is needed today, but it affords one of the best views of Manhattan from anywhere on the system.

This was my first visit to Smith Rock, so being me I naturally avoided the traditional image and went off the beaten track looking unique compositions. Unfortunately, we had a bit of a tame evening in terms of color, but I really like the mood in this image and the lovely pattern in the foreground rock.

Here's a 360-degree panorama taken at Smith Rock State Park in central Oregon, and morphed into a "mini planet." I like how the giant rock outcroppings become the skyline in this spherical depiction. That's the Crooked river in the center.

It was the jacket that first caught my eye.
I was relaxing with some friends at the Dead Mule Club, unwinding after a long week, and enjoying the spring evening sun with a nice amber ale in front of me. Out onto the deck walks Mark Smith, instantly eye catching with his faded tuxedo jacket and relaxed gait, and I say to my friends, “I’ve got to get a portrait of this guy!”
It was actually a funny coincidence that this particular evening was the first time he’d worn the jacket in about 8 years, and I just happened to be there to capture it!
Mark is 59, and hails from Birkenhead in the northwest of England. He’s laughing at me here because of my string of erroneous guesses as to where he’s from- I can’t place his accent. He’s now living in Carrboro.
If you chat with Mark for awhile, you might find out some interesting things, and you can tell he’s got stories for you. Be sure to ask him about seeing Jimi Hendrix live, or the Beatles for that matter, about how the music scene was back home. Ask him to recommend you some good cyberpunk or sci-fi literature, or what “Ferry Cross the Mersey” is all about, how to grow organic tomatoes. Get him to tell you about how he ended a “which channel to watch” dispute with a pair of garden shears.
What he probably won’t tell you are the things about himself that you might divine from his stories- that Mark is a fundamentally fearless person, adventurous, courageous, and a lover of truth. After all, he has moved to another continent and set up a home, raised kids here, and at age 59 is looking to leave behind a career as a carpenter to go into silk screening!
I saw Mark again yesterday, and he was wearing the wine red twin to his other tux jacket. He’d also cut off all his hair, so apparently I captured quite a unique moment indeed. So if you’re ever at the Dead Mule, just listen out for a deep joyful laugh, or look out for a guy with a twinkle in his eye, trouble in a tux- and you just might get to meet Mark.
The Three Smiths Statue is a sculpture by Felix Nylund, situated in Helsinki in Three Smiths Square at the intersection of Aleksanterinkatu and Mannerheimintie. This realistic statue, unveiled in 1932, depicts three smiths hammering on an anvil. The smiths are naked.
The top part of the bronze statue's granite base is encircled by the Latin text MONUMENTUM – CURAVIT – LEGATUM – J. TALLBERGIANUM – PRO HELSINGFORS A.D. MCMXXXII ("The statue was erected with the help of a donation from J. Tallberg by Pro Helsingfors in the year 1932"). The statue was donated to the city of Helsinki by the Pro Helsingfors foundation, which had acquired it with the help of a monetary donation by the businessman Julius Tallberg. Tallberg's commerce house is situated at the northern end of the three smiths square.
The statue was damaged in a bombing during the Continuation War in 1944. Marks of the damage can still be seen in the base of the statue, and the anvil has a hole caused by a bomb shrapnel.
The Three Smiths Statue is a popular meeting place, the Green League has often located their election campaign quarters next to it and a Peruvian street music orchestra has performed in the area on many summers.

Last weekend I took a short trip around the state of Oregon. Well, actually it was a long trip, but short on time. I traveled almost 800 miles from Friday evening through to Saturday night. As I planned the trip, I wanted to make sure to hit as much of the coast as possible as well as Crater Lake. I finally determined that the best alternative was to hit the coast on the way back allowing me to catch night and sunrise shots on Crater Lake, so that left finding something suitable on the way out. During this effort, I received a suggestion to stop at Smith Rock which not only provided a great scene but also worked out perfectly for catching Friday's sunset. The only bummer was passing all the great scenes with no time to stop, but the end result more than made up for it. For those unfamiliar, Smith Rock State Park is just north of Redmond, Oregon and about 20 miles north of Bend. It's considered by many to be the rock climbing Mecca of the west.
I got to the area about 1/2 hour before sunset and had a planned vantage in the park thanks to TPE. However, pulling up I decided to call an audible for a couple reasons. First, the rock is much bigger than I thought and a shot from the park would be too close. Second, as I was approaching the park I passed a spot off the side of the road that provided an interesting foreground as well as an elevated view of the rock. The sunset that day would have been perfect if not for the mountains to the west being socked in which ended the sunset artificially early. I wasn't complaining though, considering I had just about an hour to find and shoot this landmark, I came away pretty lucky!
Near home- anyone been there? It's definitely one of the greatest climbing areas. And so beautiful, in it's own rugged way.

The type rest has been fixed and the type bars all rest in a nice even arc. Ignore that key on the right side. It's just trying to get some undeserved attention.
Smith Rock State Park, north of Redmond in central Oregon. A very popular destination for rock climbers.
I wanted to submit this to Sierra Club Magazine. I thought it pretty good for a not very experienced or prolific (at the time) photographer. My boyfriend said, "But there’s no people in it." Oy.
And a double oy to myself because I didn’t think it good enough. I never again dated anyone whose television was bigger than his book collection.

Kodak film, I’m sure.
I just converted the second to bw.
lyrics from the elliott smith song "a distorted reality is now a necessity to be free". i designed this tattoo and got it on my 18th birthday.
I'll admit I did a lot of gawking when hiking Smith Rock's Misery trail. Remarkable geological wonder. I found it's varied forms primeval, primordial and awe inspiring.
Crooked river hugs it tightly adding to the beauty.
This is one of the 2 major formations here, with many smaller buttes, spires, hoodoos and oddities including "Monkey Face" (shown in comments).
Smith Rock is one of the Seven Wonders of Oregon.
As it should be.
The weeks half over! Enjoy a wonderful Wednesday.
