STRAIT OF MALACCA – (Dec. 28, 2015) – Gunner’s Mate 1st Class Anthony Rizzardini, a member of the small caliber action team (SCAT), stands watch during a straits transit aboard USS Fort Worth (LCS 3). Currently on a rotational deployment in support of the Asia-Pacific Rebalance, Fort Worth is a fast and agile warship tailor-made to patrol the region’s littorals and work hull-to-hull with partner navies, providing 7th Fleet with the flexible capabilities it needs now and in the future.

Continuing on the adventure in the Canadian Rockies, it cannot be understated the grandeur of nature there. Having been and living in the southern aspect of the mountain chain, it's more dramatic and majestic (and colder). I was pleased on the ability of the M5 and WATE along with the Ultra in Rodinal then Xtol to be able to capture alot of the tonality of the area, particularly since I used a yellow filter (for the most part) for some contrast. I was fortunate to be able to hike to many places where the density of people was less and the ability to capture was more; some absolutely stunning views. I need to come back to do some large(r) format stuff here - an amazing place. I thank those flickeranians who continue to inspire - it's you who help the rest of us look to observe, and not just see.
Soil? We don't need no stinking soil. I never cease to be amazed by these trees which grow so tall in such thin soil -- check those roots!
From the second Yosemite trip, circa 2002: The cameras got a little better but the weather was hot, dusty and smoky this time around.
