Early morning view on Mokulua Islands ("mokes") midway through the Lanikai Pillboxes Hike.
Oahu, Hawaii.
My first attempts with a macro lense. I liked how the compostion worked out which makes it even more annoying that the beetle's eye is not in focus :-).

I went to summit Mt. Si with my hiking buddies Ryan and Travis after work today. It was an ass kicker! It was 3,900 ft at its highest point. The elevation gain from the trail head was 3,150 ft over 4 miles. That's pretty steep in my book.
There were a couple of setbacks on our trip to the top. I almost fainted 15 minutes into the hike. :D I'm not sure what it was, but it wasn't fun.
We had to hurry up to the top to catch sunset which was our main goal, and we got there just in time. We roughly had 5 minutes before the sun dipped into the horizon.
We waited until the end of the nautical twilight, around 9:20ish at night to hike down. It was so much easier and took us half the time.

Conquer your fears
Fears once towering, now subdued,
Turned from foes to allies true.
With every step, we rise and learn,
For in their flames, we cease to burn.
They guide us through each unknown night,
Shedding doubt to spark our light.
What once was dread, now wisdom clear,
We conquer all when we face our fear.

AMTK #165 assaults the 3.5% grade of Raton Pass at Wootton with #3, the westbound Southwest Chief for Los Angeles.
The history of Raton Pass as a route over the Sangre de Cristo Mountains dates back to 1822, when the Santa Fe Trail opened up, linking Missouri with Santa Fe, then controlled by Mexico. The crossing has played host to Stephen Kearny's "Army of the West" during the Mexican-American War, which laid claim on New Mexico Territory from Mexico, and Union forces during the New Mexico Campaign of the Civil War.
After the Civil War, Richens L. Wootton opened a toll road over Raton Pass and made drastic improvements of the crossing. Wootton's toll road would last until the railroad arrived in the late 1870s. The AT&SF beat the Denver and Rio Grande to Raton, nearly resulting in bloodshed between the two companies. By 1880, the Santa Fe had reached Albuquerque, and by 1885, Los Angeles.

This is a Black & White conversion of a previously posted shot, specifically this one:
This is an Edinburgh Fringe photo from 2006. It features two of the incredibly talented performers from an Italian group called Kataklo (composed of former Olympic gymnasts).
I was fortunate enough to be invited along to photograph the show by Angella Kwon, the show's producer. This was taken at 3200 ISO with a shutter speed of 1/20 second (hand held...but with image stabilisation). The Canon EOS-5D is a very impressive camera.
If you like this, you may be interested in the rest of my Kataklo set.

Thanks a lot for watching and leaving a fave ★
Built in the early years of the Cold War the Conqueror battle tank weighed around 63 tons. It was soon realised that an equally big vehicle would be needed to recover them so as a result 28 of these Rolls Royce Meteor powered Conqueror ARVs were produced.
The fierce climb out of Ballarat towards Warrenheip Junction is of little concern to veteran locomotive Y112, as it and K153 (out of view) storm their short shuttle train uphill towards Lal Lal.
All the colours that we saw they touched us
all the trails that they made we followed
we can be just like all of the others
we have to be just like all of the others
All the spaces they made for us
are all filled up
and they will deceive us and they will desert us
but all our colours will always be with us
and all our colours they will always be with us
All our colours will always be with us
Today's shot takes us to Disney's Animal Kingdom For a shot of Expedition Everest. I've seen this shot done a few times, so I decided to try it myself. It's amazing what you can see from up there. In the distance you have the Disney Studios, Epcot, The Swan and Dolphin and the Contemporary. Have you ever taken any photos from the top of Everest? Have a magical day!
