Starting in Lavita Colorado we drove up towards Cordova Pass on 12 and pulled over to photograph some of the riders on a downhill section of the Stonewall Century ride. This is a 102 mile ride. I like to test my high speed panning skills with cyclists as they wiz by. I ended up with several keepers but this one may be my best.
For those of you interested in the tech side of this; What makes this difficult is keeping predictive focus trained on his head while panning steadily to match his speed in order to keep him sharp at a slow 1/50 sec shutter speed. This will give you a nice blurred background emphasizing his speed.
Taken at Bull Run park. We were amazed at how comically muscular Jackson and his horse are portrayed! They appear in SuperHero style...to include the fist on Jackson's hip.
Final Post of 2018 - This is a place I was excited to visit over the summer and it did not disappoint. I plan on visiting again in 2019 to do star trails with the front of the church pointing directly to the north star. I hope you all have an amazing 2019
Stonewalled in Kansas -
The church was built from 1899 to 1901 with the first Mass on Christmas day 1901. Due to declining population at the parish, it was closed on August 6, 1967.
On October 12, 1998, the church was destroyed by fire. The cause of the fire was suspicious and only the limestone walls remained.
This is a 2 shot composite of an actual scene depending on the time of year you visit.

In the summer of 1861, enthusiastic volunteers in colorful uniforms gathered to fight the first major land battle of the war. Confident that their foes would turn and run, neither side anticipated the smoke, din and death of battle. Nearly one year later, both sides met again on the same battlefield with the Confederates winning a solid victory bringing them to the height of their power.

Once used to protect orchards in Rancho Olompali, this stone wall doesn't really serve for much other than a nice framing for photographs. It's now part of the Olompali state park, the original settlers here were from the Miwok tribe which named their village, Olompali, which roughly translated, means Southern village.

A portion of artist Kara Walker's reconstruction of an equestrian statue of Confederate Gen. Stonewall Jackson, now on display as part of a "Monuments" show in Los Angeles. The Jackson statue, erected in Charlottesville, VA, a hundred years ago, was at the center of protests, including the infamous and deadly "Unite the Right" rally in 2017. The statue came down in 2021.
I'd meant to post this image at the time but as with many things they get put onto the back burner and ultimately get forgotten about until you stumble across them one day again... I found this one today and decided to post it.
This was shot on the tiny remote Island of North Ronaldsay in the Orkney archipelago, this was the single biggest sea storm I have ever seen, the sheer sense of it was amazing as it moved along the coast, an added bonus was it also being sunset so it gave this great effect of the golden illuminated sky appearing anywhere where the dense black cloud had a gap for it to shine through making the sea appear to be on fire, an absolute spectacle and not something I'll ever forget witnessing.
Of note: the sheep that can be seen sheltering in the foreground are totally unique to this tiny island, mainly living off seaweed washed up onto the beaches. You can't get too close to them either, they aren't keen on humans it seems! - I don't suppose they see many living here!

The Stonewall riots (also referred to as the Stonewall uprising or the Stonewall rebellion) were a series of spontaneous, violent demonstrations by members of the gay (LGBT) community[note 1] against a police raid that took place in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. They are widely considered to constitute the most important event leading to the gay liberation movement[1][2][3][4] and the modern fight for LGBT rights in the United States.[5][6]
