Every once in a while something changes
And she's changing me
It's too late for me now, I am altered
There is something beneath
She's not acid nor alkaline
Caught between black and white
Not quite either day or night
She's perfectly misaligned
I'm caught up in her design
And how it connects to mine
I see in a different light
The object of my desire
Ooh, let's talk about chemistry
'Cause I'm dying to melt through
To the heart of her molecules
'Til the particles part like holy water
If anything
She's an undiscovered element
Either born in hell or heaven-sent
Either way I'm into it
The Alkaline Ponds are interesting bodies of water east of Mammoth Lakes, California. At our previous workshop we spent a morning and evening here. This view is as we left our vehicles and walked down the depression to one of the ponds.

With landscape elements like this - blue water, white alkaline deposits - and warm morning light, any bird would look great. That most of the birds present were American Avocets put it over the top for me, and I ended up working this relatively small area for a couple of hours (with one 15-minute break in the car to warm up, as the morning was much colder than it looks).
This pond is part of a larger wetland area along the margins of Chaplin Lake, which forms critical habitat for migratory birds. The saline waters produce huge numbers of brine shrimp, which in turn feed countless shorebirds, waterfowl, gulls, and other migratory species en route to their breeding grounds.
These avocets were easy to photograph, as they quickly accepted my presence while I alternately sat and lay flat in a not-too-damp spot near the shore. Part of success in wildlife photography - or any photography - is recognizing when you're onto something good. This may seem obvious, but it isn't always so. For years I watched my students misjudge a situation and spend too much time in an unproductive location or walk away from some fantastic light because they didn't see its potential. There is no substitute for experience, but sometimes a little nudge or hint from a good instructor can serve as a useful guideline.
The other side of that - and the difficulty in teaching any of the visual arts - lies in not wanting to interfere with real creativity. It's good to experiment with unpromising materials, and it's good to fail, because that's how we learn. Years ago, someone asked me, "How do you teach photography? CAN you teach photography?" My answer was, "I don't know." I can certainly teach exposure and depth of field and how to behave around wildlife and being aware of the light. The creative part? That is our personal journey. We do that part alone.

The hillsides are covered in Goldfield Wildflowers. Great grazing pastures but the water can be deadly to livestock because of the high Ph levels.

Lake Nakuru (Kenya) is one of many shallow alkaline (soda) lakes in the Rift Valley of Africa. The lake's abundance of algae attracts the vast quantity of flamingos.

When you head west out of Death Valley on state Highway 190 you'll cross the Panamint Mountains and snake your way down into the alkaline flats of Owen's Valley.
Owen's Valley was ground zero for the California water wars, which were the inspiration behind the 1974 movie "Chinatown" starring Jack Nicholson.
I like to travel where the stars have been.

Alkaline is a band from Amersfoort consisting of three members; guitarist Jelle Koller, singer and bassist Sem Hartogsveld. Jelle came up with the idea of starting his own band after high school, and he needed several people for this. He knew Sem from the school band and drummer Kevin Dohmen joined later. They mainly play Punk & Rock music.

Echinops setifer or higotai (scientific name: Echinops setifer) is a perennial grass in the family Asteraceae, native to Japan, the Korean Peninsula and China. The leaves are narrow and pinnately lobed (jagged) like thistle leaves.
Echinops setifer is a perrenial, growing to 1 m (3ft 3in). It is in flower from July to September, and the seeds ripen from August to October. The species is hermaphrodite (has both male and female organs) and is pollinated by Insects.
Suitable for: light (sandy), medium (loamy) and heavy (clay) soils, prefers well-drained soil and can grow in nutritionally poor soil. Suitable pH: mildly acid, neutral and basic (mildly alkaline) soils. It can grow in semi-shade (light woodland) or no shade. It prefers dry or moist soil and can tolerate drought.
