Pacific Vortex. © Copyright 2019 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
Cloud patterns above California’s Pacific coastline.
Almost every time I photograph in this location at some point I turn my camera towards these sky and ocean-scapes that are almost abstract in form. While this photograph was made along the Big Sur Coastline of California, from beside the famous US Highway One, given the lack of definite landmarks it could be almost anywhere that ocean and sky meet.
The light and atmosphere were both fascinating and difficult on this visit. A Pacific winter weather system was approaching, and this can do all sorts of things to the atmosphere. In this case a cloud shield was forming overhead, thick enough to darken the landscape but still allowing some directional light. Below there was a lot of moisture in the air, with dissipating fog banks along coastal hills and offshore haze blurring the line of the horizon.

The lights of the town of Sedona,
as seen from Airport Mesa,
one of Sedona's potent energy vortices.
A vortex is a place, usually on or near an interesting rock formation, where people have reported feeling inspired by a beneficial source of energy. If you're skeptical, that's okay - looking for vortices (vortexes?) is still a fun excuse for a hike.
Airport Mesa, one of the most accessible vortices, is an easy hike from a (small) parking lot. It’s a very popular destination for watching the sunset, overlooking the city of Sedona, as well as providing excellent perspectives on some of the most popular red rock formations such as Courthouse Butte, Thunder Mountain and Coffee Pot.
There are all sorts of energy here and it's good to be wary after dark. I started to take a short hike to a viewpoint for Courthouse Butte when, wearing sneakers and shorts, aside from having to step carefully on loose rock, I nearly stepped on a snake on the path. In the darkening light, I didn't get a good look at the snake but, if it didn't rattle, it certainly hissed. I turned back.
This was a 9 sec. exposure, as I gradually changed the zoom of the lens.

So I woke up from my dream and found that my pillows were gone. I forgot to close my window last night and a vortex/portal type deal opened outside my window. I just hate when that happens!
There are so many burger places in Atlanta now that the once popular Vortex just doesn't seem to have it anymore. But it still does have the most impressive entrance. So after eating there before our big soccer game (that the American way) we decided to shoot it. It is funny how empty the streets of Atlanta become post 8pm, when only 2 hours earlier they are slammed...

Suddenly the world began to spin forming this vortex from which three locomotives and a train emerged. Fortunately the exposure ended before the train could crash into itself. i4s5202 - Happy Sliders Sunday!
Above, in the Clouds, a vortex lurks, waiting for it's moment; when it can grow, gather speed, and suddenly reach down to earth.

A new joint operation - called Operation Vortex - has gotten underway today (Wednesday 19 January 2022) in Oldham to crack down on vehicle crime and traffic offences in the district.
The Tactical Vehicle Intercept Unit, along with officers from GMP's Safer Transport Team and officers across the Oldham District, worked along the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency at a static base in Chadderton, stopping a number of vehicles either committing traffic offences, or vehicle crime.
Two men arrested, one on suspicion of driving while under the influence of drugs, and one for driving while disqualified and remain in custody for questioning, ten vehicles have been seized for being driven with no insurance, and one stolen vehicle has been recovered.
In addition, officers also reported 35 traffic offences for a range of driving offences.
Chief Superintendent Mark Dexter from GMP's Specialist Operations said: "This will become a regular operation across Greater Manchester, where we will strive to make our communities and roads safer, tackling illegal vehicles which we know that are all too often used in crime and cause harm and misery on the roads.
"I hope this sends a strong message to anyone thinking of breaking the law on our roads, that we are watching, and we won't hesitate to take action to remove you and your vehicle from the road."
