A trip out along the Great Ridge from Mam Tor to Back Tor, to try to shoot the lonely tree against a fiery sunset. Didn't quite get the colours, but the clouds put on quite a display. I ended up spending about 3 hours at this spot, getting many variations on this view point.

Last night, I posted a "portrait" of the Egyptian uromastyx, to show what it looks like, uninfluenced by light or camera angle. Now, a few shots showing its more dinosaur-like personality.

after dominating the waves, he is ready to hit the books. i barely recognized him in his ironed shirt and high-water khakies ;) he seems to be doing alright though, a sharpened pencil in hand.

Part of Sage Wyoming ghost town in Lincoln County, Wyoming.
There is not much left of Sage and based on some of the artifacts, it looks like it could have been abandoned in the late 1950's or early sixties. At least the place is appropriately named as it is totally overrun by several varieties of sage which seems quite vigorous and healthy here.
I haven't been able to find out much information about Sage but it was once an important town for both railroading and the Overland Stage which came north to Sage from Fort Bridger.
I believe but can't confirm that there was a "railroad war" around the Sage area in which two railroads had an armed conflict over the right-of-way. One of the railroad companies involved was said to be the Oregon Short Line and the other was perhaps the Union Pacific (now owned by Southern Pacific) since it is their right-of-way that passes Sage.
Sage lies at 6,332 feet AMSL, in the Sage Creek valley about 25 miles from Kemmerer, Wyoming, population 2656, and county seat for Lincoln County.
The Midtown Precinct. 0900 hrs.
Back to business as usual. 'Least I don't have to walk a beat anymore.
Yeah, must be comfortable being Commissioner.
You got that right, Dan.
Still haven't got the place cleaned up, have they? God it must have been...
Jeesh. The last time I was here was 2007, with the reservoir riots. You remember, Foley?
Course I do. Not something anybodies gonna be forgetting, lemme tell ya.
God. The gangs are gonna be at it again soon; I can feel it. And it's not a nice feeling. You know what we found at the docks yesterday, Dan? Two hundred assault rifles, 50 RPGs, and god knows how many submachine guns. Leats we know whose they were though; guess what they had in their pockets?
Ummm...Joker cards?
No, thank god. But they had coins, defaced on both sides.
Ah, shit. Good thing we got that.
Yeah. Also a good thing we've got more Men, and more SWAT. We're gonna need them...

GCPD takes area #54, the GCPD Midtown Precinct.
This is a back exit on our Art Deco Orchestra Hall Building in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.
The vines on the far left are fun to see in the large and the original sizes.
Beautiful signs of decay where nature takes back it's place.
Trees and shrubs grow through and on the roof and windows of the building.
Nature lives on forever, human made objects will be gone sooner or later.
I found this old abandoned hotel on the road from Sélestat to Colmar in Alsace, France.
Een schitterend voorbeeld van verval, de natuur verovert terug.
Bomen en struiken groeien hier door en op het dak en de vensters van het gebouw.
De natuur leeft eeuwig, door mensen gemaakte objecten verdwijnen vroeg of laat.
Dit oude verlaten hotel trof ik aan de weg van Sélestat naar Colmar in de Elzas, Frankrijk.

Feels good.
To just drop back and be ourselves.
By the sea.
Shotgun loaded, dogs on their toes.
Interesting roadtrip, really.
But still.
I feel like singing.
After many months of closed schools, the time has come for kids to go back to their natural place. So every morning they arrive, others on foot, others by bus, by car or... on their magic pencil! Full disclosure, there may be others that are even more excited for the open schools than the kids. You guessed it, it’s the parents!
