Captivated by Colour (2020) by Camille Walala.
Created for the first ever London Mural Festival in September 2020, Camile Walala reimagined Adams Plaza Bridge with enchanting geometric shapes and every aspect of the colour wheel.
Thirsty Adams may or may not be coming to Slexfix early next year. Keep an eye out for the zany adventures of Thirsty.
Finally was able to see this giant Cascade volcanic peak for the first time last weekend. After a warm, smokey summer, the first touches of fall were showing -- including a fresh white dusting of wintry weather atop the peak from the day before.
For Macro Mondays - Staying Healthy.
Water has many health benefits, it is recommended that we drink 6-8 glasses per day. It has been proven that a glass of water 1/2 an hour before bed and 2 first thing in the morning helps to keep the heart healthy.
Happy Macro Monday!
This 1960 Aston Martin DB4GT, driven by Urs and Arlette Muller, was sporting a set of black wire wheels at the Goodwood Revival instead of its usual Borrani silver set I've seen it with previously, adding a sense of menace to the car that was previously missing. It also looks like the suspension has been worked on as well, with the car sitting slightly lower than normal (although this may be the combination of wheels/offset/angle of shot that give this illusion).
I've struggled to find any information about this DB4GT, so don't know its provenance, although I think its likely to be a continuation/replica given that there were only 75 genuine DB4GT's produced, 6 of which were in the lightweight spec where aluminium was used along with some extensive drilling of solid parts and stripping of luxury items such as the radio, clock, window washer bottle and bumpers.
A number of standard DB4GT's were brought closer to the lightweight spec after they were produced, but its not clear how extensive this was in terms of fitting of aluminium panels or the drilling of the chassis members.
The DB4GT itself is shorter in the wheelbase by 5 inches compared to the regulat DB4, and features closed headlights abd the larger bonnet vent. In keeping with Aston Martins luxury ethos, the DB4GT's were still fitted with leather upholstery and wilton carpets, something I'm sure was soon replaced or removed by owners keen to further improve performance.

Ricketts Glen State Park, PA
One of my favorite falls to photograph in the park and certainly one of the most distinct.
There is a rock ledge that you can walk out on to get a great view of the falls. This was shot from the lower shelf of the rock ledge, very close to the waters edge. The shelf is so narrow my tripod barely fit on it. All I could think of was don't bump the tripod! Anyway, I do like the pov this vantage point provides.
These happy accidents come along every once in a while. In this case, my thumb slipped from the film advance on the RB67.
This was taken in Drumheller Channels / Columbia National Wildlife Refuge (or maybe the state land next to it?).

In a different light, these old wires would glisten and the shadows would play a larger roll.
Throw some better clouds in here, and quite a lovely lil pic.

There is a moment in each dawn in which the light is as if suspended; a magical moment where anything can happen. Creation holds its breath
Il y a un moment à chaque aube où la lumière est comme suspendue ; un moment magique où tout peut arriver. La création retient son souffle.
(Douglas Adams).
“I'd far rather be happy than right any day."
"And are you?"
"No. That's where it all falls down, of course."
"Pity", said Arthur. "It sounded like rather a good lifestyle otherwise.” (Douglas Adams)
Go on now, don't take me with you.

An apocalypse in the literal meaning is an unveiling, and this is what the fog did over Mount Adams. Just as the mountain turned red, a fog bank blew in, tore itself to shreds, and blew out. This would have been a killer reflection if not for the wind; however if not for the wind, there would not have been this lifting of the curtain.
I have shared a slightly different angle of this photo earlier this year, but this one has been sitting in my "maybe" pile since then.

A Ferris flower. :-)
taken with my new 150-600mm Tamron lens and hand held even at 600mm! (ISO of 500)
View in Large screen to see the lights!
Now that the time has changed and it is lighter longer in the evening hours, a trip farther east is in order. This simple hike takes as long as you need it to. It can be done in three or four miles, but you could also wander towards ten.
There are trails in places where trails are needed, but wide open spaces where trails are not.

This view of Mount Adams (the snow-capped volcano in the distance) was taken from Mount Rainier, at about 7,000 feet ASL. The mountains in the foreground are part of the Tatoosh mountain range.

After several years, I returned to the Horst-Heimbigner House to find that the barn had fallen down. But I was able to spend a good deal of time on the grounds shooting it with various cameras. More will follow.

On Thanksgiving, I revisited a few places that I had recently visited before that. It covered many of the places in the latest issue of In This Land.
I'm not exactly sure why I wanted to do this. I think it's mostly because I just wanted to.
But now, looking at the seven rolls I shot (which covered a good many new-to-me places), I'm considering doing another issue of In This Land from these.
In a way, it would be a continuation, and there's enough difference there that few of the locations (and none of the shots) would be the same.
Regardless of what I end up doing, it was a beautiful day, beginning here - as a school house I've never seen before.

One of my favorite places on earth has only ever been open as a day-use park. I had no real complaints. Sure, it would be nice to camp around there, I suppose, but it's small enough for a long day hike, so that's okay.
This photo was taken towards the end of a day in April. A storm was moving in, and though the clouds didn't look so bad in real life, I knew with a red filter, I could bring them out and make them look really nasty.

Yet another cloudy, damp and foggy day here in central Pennsylvania. Nothing better to do than sort through some archived images. Here is one of Adams Falls in Ricketts Glen State Park. I plan on shooting these falls again this winter.
It's a bit of a scramble getting down to this point, so I decided to take a photo while percher precariously on a little ledge. I like shooting bridges from this angle, showing where the bridge meets the land. I did this at Crooked River in Oregon a few years back. Maybe it'll be a thing.
