Again, more textures at play...I liked the idea of balancing the strong detail of the roof grasses against a background with similar character.
Getting hit with flying sods I can cope with, the stones are a different matter. Laurel Bank Classic Moto-X.
A full moon rises over Dolly Sods. Absolutely one of the most beautiful
places in West Virginia be it day or night. Dollu Sods is part of the Monongahela National Forest.
This one is for you Doreen!
Detail of the sod roof construction of several structures in Mills ghost town, Juab County, Utah.
The rectangular wooden beams are obviously old railroad ties but the vertical boards with all of the drilled holes are a bit of a puzzel. I have alternatively speculated that they may have had some railroad function in the 1800's or that they may have been old style wooden behive nesting blocks. Any information would be appreciated.
Mills was settled as a railroad town, it was also known as Wellington in the mid to late 1800's. Many early residents lived in Dugouts or cabins. There was a local general store owned by John Williams, for whom nearby John Williams Canyon was named.

When at the Dolly Sods two weekends ago I was taking some long exposures with the 60D and the 5D. Then as it lightened I was taking the really long exposures with the 60D only ... then using the 5D for shots in the 10 to 1/2 second range as it slowly lightened with sunrise. This allowed me to set up the 60D for the several minutes of exposure while taking the other camera and tripod and exploring a bunch of nearby comps.
In this case as it got brighter I screwed on the 9 stop ND filter and then started the shot. Came back 6 minutes later and stopped the capture. The exposure by histogram was underexposed by at least three stops of light. I nearly tossed the shot then, but kept it without deleting.
I played with it in LR, and have kept the shadows very dark and brought up the highlights so the noise is kept to be bare minimum. I liked the way this dark morning capture turned out, so glad I did not toss the underexposed capture after all.
Thoughts on this dark pre-dawn capture? Too dark ?

... old and quite funny re-post ... well - so I think anyway :))
I think he's actually giving me the finger ...
Josh Johnston leads away from the first corner, Ballymoney Road Classic Scramble, the final round of the Northern Ireland Classic Scrambles Club championship. The early races cut through the vegetation.
Went up there last weekend...very windy but also very warm...ever been in a traffic jam on Dolly Sods? Most of West Virginia and half of Virginia were up there...sheesh.
I’ve broken my feet, so have had the time to trawl my hard-drive for odds and ends of crappy digital footage and edit it together into something.
Sod Only Knows: A Joe Cooke Film
Yellowstone is famous for its numerous geothermal features, most of which occur in clusters. This one, Soda Butte Cone, stands impressively alone along the Northeast Entrance Road. It is most quiescent these days, though once in a while a little mineralized heated water dribbles out of a crack in its side, or a gentle whiff of sulfer-scented steam arises from it. This day its travertine form looked like it was covered with snowy meringue.
While the large tracks of visitors positioning for a good photo of the cone are obvious in the foreground, enlarge the photo to see some much more subtle signs that a small animal has also traversed the snow.

A Long Island sod farm.
Something about this makes me sad. I guess I think they should be growing food.
More than one person has asked for the definition of sod.
Sod is grass that is grown for lawns. Here on Long Island, on golf courses everywhere, and around public buildings, people have landscapers put sod on the lawns because it looks better and doesn't have to be started from seed.
It looks perfect from the day it is put down.
It is cut in mats and rolled, or folded and then put down over topsoil. It has to be maintained and watered everyday in the beginning so the roots take hold.
It is just wasted land and wasted water to me, but I guess someone has to grow it!
Long Island used to grow lots of potatoes. Now it's corn, some crops, sod and vineyards!
