my nest in the sky
the arizona heat beat down on it so hard
i couldn't sleep at night
the insulation was obliterated
i was defenseless against the vortex energy
coming at me from all sides
the courthouse and cathedral to the south
saddlerock beaming directly toward me,
and completely basked in the 30 mile diameter boynton canyon vortex 10 miles away
i am sitting here crazed, barely among the living
scarcely able to watch james bond movies during my waking hours
many feng shui cures were added
i swear you can't sleep with such powerful energy

Luckily there was some drainage for the area, although not nearly enough. All the stairways in the temple complex turned into waterfalls. Made for some treacherous footing.
Vortex.
This shot is SOOC (straight out of the camera). No Photoshop tricks here.
I'd like to thank Dennis Calvert for showing me how to make the circles.

We're atop a ridge of dunes, but in front of us is 300 foot deep Vortex Crater. Unique on this world, there is nothing where the ends of the two abutting dunes overlap, only a crater bottoming out at ground level, constantly scoured out by a vortex of wind.
NASA visited here In the 1970's to study this phenomenon because similar wind craters are found on the dunes on Mars.

I didn't even know you could see the sky through the trees here. . I was out trying to catch shots of the lightning bugs and this is what I got on my first shot. I thought it looked cool, like all the world was spinning towards that break in the trees. Plus I actually got a lightning bug too!

Part of a photo competition between mates that was themed 'Household' but there wasn't any strict judges so I got away with some unhousehold like shots.
Point straight up and capture.
I had put on my Sigma 10-20mm ultra-wide lens before I left work for the day. I'm always thinking about the next photo of the day, what will it be. Today, I felt that I needed to get some of the old ultra-wide.
The sky cooperated with my intent. This lens is made for great skies. I started casually capturing and cavalierly so. Shoot from the hip, hand down low, see something and point and grab, I took about 5 frames before I got to my car.
Then, just for good measure, I rolled down my car window, and pointed straight up.
As soon as I saw the frame on the back of my camera, I thought this might be the one.
I love the multiple layers of various clouds, against that deep sky blue. The kicker is the lamp at the top of the parking lot light pole, which is at the center of what looks like a vortex of clouds.
Layers of light.
Taking the moment and a leap of faith, that something good would be there. I sure am glad I had the inclination to go wide tonight.
