Dead Air Fresheners Live at the Dutch House in Portland OR 4/29/2006. Photo by Ilima Considine, adjusted by Ricardo Wang.
Actually, this is the following morning. We arrived after dark. I was hoping to find another cabin here, but, as you can see, there was just one small stone building left.
This is near the mouth of Beveridge Canyon in the Nelson Range on the western side of Saline Valley.
The road leads up to an old mine.
Two Pelicans, Sunset. Pacific Coast, California. September 2, 2008. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.

I've posted photos from this set before, but since it has been a while I'll share the story again. I had taken by son over to Santa Cruz, where he goes to school, and we decided to drive north up the coast in the early evening and look for photo opportunities. Although this section of the coast is always interesting, on this evening the first few places we stopped just didn't present any obvious photographic opportunities. Finally I decided to just head for a roadside turnout that I had visited before. It is located right at the edge of the steep bluffs above the ocean, and large sea birds often fly right along the edge, apparently catching the updraft from the wind coming in off the ocean. You can see the birds coming for hundreds of yards in either direction, track them as the approach, and if you are lucky they will pass by a mere feet from your position. Making this setting more interesting and/or more challenging on this evening, the sun was setting behind a bit of off-shore fog - and as I panned to follow the birds the exposure went from fairly normal light on either side of my position to the intensely colorful and very bright light coming through the fog when I was aiming directly out to see as in this photo.

One last Two Harbors photograph, for now. I have many more from this visit, and will post them at a later date.
This is the usual view of the harbor at Two Harbors, Minnesota. The Duluth, Missabe, and Iron Range docks dominate the view.
Camera: Minolta Freedom 100. 1990.
Andrew Smith made these shoes as a self-portrait as an entry for a competition for Norwich Fringe Festival at the Bally Shoe Factory in Norwich in 2003 when there was a 'Self-portrait in a shoebox' competition. His entry wasn't chosen as a winner because the judges thought they were too 'professional' and he must have had help.
Anyway, they were modelled on a pair of Italian shoes that he had bought in a little shop in Soho, London and the boxes nested like Matrioska dolls. You can see the real shoes in some of the shots
