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.

Day 52 - 365
We had a fabulous, FABULOUS holiday in Scotland, and I normally don't put up a photo from a particular shoot unless I have processed them all.
We have been back a fortnight and I am still ploughing through them as I took over 5000 shots!!
Scotland's decision to say no to independence was the excuse I needed to start posting.
The inscription on the front of this Royal Marine Commando statue is "UNITED WE CONQUER" and I would have put up a front facing photo, but this particular one is my fave.
I thought United We Conquer was very apt for Scotland's historical decision.
The Royal Marine Commando's were formed late in WWII and the chaps that were chosen for this unit were literally dropped into the Ben Nevis Range (where the UK's highest mountain is)to start their intensive training.
The statues actually face the point where they were dropped off and I believe the Royal Marines still use this area for training.
We were here on a Summer's day and as you can see it looks very menacing.
I have been all over the World, but the weather in the Highlands of Scotland changes faster than anything I have seen.
As well as the statues there is a memorial garden for those that have served with this unit. It made me cry seeing all the youngsters that have fallen.
Anyway, I am back and with some gorgeous shots to be posted of the Highlands.
Pompeii was founded in the 8th century B.C. by the Oscans, a tribe of peasants and shepherds. By the 6th century B.C. the area was under Greek influence. About 400 B.C. the city was conquered by the Samnites. Rome conquered Pompeii in 80 B.C.
By 79 A.D. Pompeii was a city covering 160 acres with a population of 20,000. Sixty percent of the inhabitants were free and 40% were slaves.
Prior to the eruption of Vesuvius, Pompeii was a thriving city. Then it was buried with so little warning that Pompeii was literally frozen in time.

Thanks a lot for watching and leaving a fave ★
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!
I got extra ambitious and shot two images yesterday while out exploring with my camera. I am always telling myself that I want to start practicing shooting multiple images during a shoot. If not two seperate pieces, at least a sister image to accompany the main concept.
This is my favorite concept that I shot yesterday. I have been wanting to use this abandoned barn structure as a back drop for quite some time. The most 'entertaining' part of the shoot was watching a car that was leaving the parking lot pull over near where were shooting and, presumably, watching what I was doing. People do the strangest things around photogs.
I hope everyone has had a very creative weekend. xx

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.

The Gold Castle must have been conquered by the king of the Red Castle, because it appears that its walls were breached and its interior plundered. Imaginary tale, of course; this natural rock outcrop is 60 yards south of the formation I call the Red Castle (see photo), near Pinnacle Valley Ranch on the Paria Plateau, Arizona. Drone image; dimensions of outcrop about 48x30 yards.
Part of the ruins from Bomarsund fortress on the Ã…land islands in the middle of the Baltic Sea. It's guns were obsolete by the time it was completed and the Russian garrison was rather easily conquered by the superior field guns of the French and English in the Summer of 1854. The victors destroyed the fortress to prevent it from being improved upon as it commanded a strategic point on the shipping route. A lesser known part of the Crimean War.
Mireille and I went to an exhibit on my favourite things in the world.. high-heeled shoes! :)
There were so many cool shoes.. from all the great designers. And shoes that were more than a 100 years old.
"and so she will rise from the water
with power laced in her breath
but mercy in her heart that doesn't beat
because she's something from the earth
a creature with no name
and only one general care
the purity of our eyes
and the love in our veins
and how our actions affect
today tomorrow and yesterday
because she's more than present
she's past and future
with all the strength she holds
she's lacking no virtues."
