Mount Washington is a deeply eroded volcano in the Cascade Range of Oregon. Made mostly of mafic (rich in magnesium and iron) volcanic rock like subalkaline basalt and basaltic andesite, it has a volcanic plug occupying its summit cone and numerous dikes.
The wilderness area is not heavily used, though it has a number of hiking trails. Wildlife is sparse in the region. Vegetation is mostly limited to pines and shrubs.
With an elevation of 7,795 feet (2,376 m) above sea level Mount Washington is located in Deschutes and Linn counties.
This image was taken on the east side of the mountain which has a different look than the more popular north side images.
The George Washington Bridge is a double-decked suspension bridge spanning the Hudson River, connecting the New York City borough of Manhattan with the New Jersey borough of Fort Lee.
Washington Square Park in the heart of Greenwich Village, New York City. The arch, constructed of white Tuckahoe marble, stands 77 feet tall and was fashioned after Paris's 164-foot-tall Arch de Triomphe. Towering in the background, at right, is One Fifth Avenue, a beautiful Art Deco building where I used to stay whenever I ventured into the Village.
For the number of times I've spent the weekend in Douglas County, it's surprising that there are still roads I've never been down and scenes I've never shot.
I was driving up a hill and entering a cut, and I knew there would be a homestead on the other side. It just seemed right. It was the land and just how they did things.
I stopped at the crest and found a shot, trying out a couple of lenses before settling on the 135mm. I thought for sure that the 270mm would work better - and I used it for a full frame shot right after this.
But for this one, I wanted to show how the three buildings - barn, workshops, and house - interacted with the land. Especially with how the land is farmed now that the buildings are abandoned.
When these were inhabited, there would have been a lane carved up to the house and into the barn. There might have been a path or walkway to the shops. But now, it's just a field, maybe newly planted, maybe left fallow for the year.
Still, I fell in love with this little scene and I'm glad I shot it.

Una malinconica immagine della città in cui viene deciso il destino del mondo. Washington è un luogo difficile da comprendere, sembra ci abiti il mondo intero che corre per arrivare non si sa dove. Di Italia ne avevo vista pochissima, mentre era tangibile la sensazione di sentirsi straniero. La salutai senza promettere a me stesso di tornarci, nonostante ne apprezzai le tante splendide attrattive, in primis il cimitero (autentico monumento nazionale) di Arlington, con la tomba del presidente J. F. Kennedy, luogo da visitare almeno una volta nella vita, dove la sosta si accompagna a uno stato d'animo che è giusto non provare neanche a descrivere. Quella malinconia di fondo mi è rimasta dentro, immutata dopo due anni, quasi come un'essenza trasmessa attraverso chissà quali vie da un grande angolo di mondo che per sua natura deve proiettarsi da qui all'eternità.

Multi exposure blend from an SD card out of a sold camera. I had been cleaning out a drawer and wondered what, if anything, I had on a few cards.
As a final stop on an incredibly long day, I could have done worse. The clouds were sparse, but available. The breeze swayed the canola, at nearly peak yellow. The sky deepened to dark blue. The sun was sinking and I had hours to drive.
I should have captured this in color. I did with the Mamiya, but that's not this.

The final photo that I'll share from the new issue of In This Land is... this.
Everything really fell into place that day! Pretty much all of the photos in the zine bear that out. It's rare to have such a day.

The Washington Monument, designed in the simple shape of an ancient Egyptian obelisk, was built in honour of George Washington. Constructed between 1848 and 1884 it was the tallest structure in the world at the time of completion, until the construction of the Eiffel Tower in France in 1889. The monument however remains the world's tallest stone structure and the world's tallest obelisk, standing 554 feet 7 11/32 inches (169.046 m) tall. It has an aluminum apex, which at the time of casting was the largest piece of aluminum in the world with Aluminum being relatively unknown having a value similar to silver. The slight change in shading of the marble at 46m (150ft) came from a halt in construction between 1854 and 1877 due to lack of funds and the civil war with construction eventually resuming from a different source of stone. National Mall, Washington DC, United States of America. Took this shot this evening, so its a rare post for me to share the day it was taken!

The sun came and went, but mostly faded in and out of varying grays. Once in a while, the rocks would catch it and they would shine.

The past weekend was one of rain and mud and photographs taken in both. The roads pushed my skills and my tires beyond comfort. At one point, I found myself sliding sideways down a steep hill. Fortunately, I was able to crawl back down.
But that wasn't this hill. This hill also saw me unable to pass due to mud. I was joined for a short while by a large truck with tires bigger than my own that turned around here due to conditions.
And while I stopped here for the same reason, the company I found and the scene all around me led me to stay rather than return right away.
For the next hour, I photographed the buildings and the home, the cows and the road. The rains continued until they stopped without my notice. And when I looked up, I saw a bit of blue sky for the first time all weekend.
I have no reservations about shooting in the rain, and I'm not sure why anyone does. I'm not talking monsoons or some great deluge, of course. Just normal rain. If you take some small precautions and aren't shooting with anything that has a circuit board, you and your camera will be fine.

I'm not sure what that is at the owl's feet, but I think it's a rodent of some sort. No amount of zooming and moving Lightroom sliders around cleared it up enough to be sure.
