Evolution Basin, Kings Canyon National Park, California.
This is another in my JMT series. It is a panorama best viewed in its large size. Please view my other JMT images in my JMT set.
This is a stitch of two singles made with a Nikon D7000 and Tokina 11-16mm.
As the John Muir Trail snakes through Evolution Basin it passes many crystal clear lakes and tarns. Aster, Paintbrush and many other wildflowers adorn their shores. Here is Mt. Huxley (13086') at left and at photograph center is Mt. Solomons (13034'). Just to the left of Mt. Solomons is snow-covered Muir Pass (11955') and the famous John Muir Hut.

UP 7964 (GE-C45AC) 5000th Gevo leads KLTG3-14 with a friendly crew on board at Clinton, Iowa just about to cross the Mississippi River.
I've had the catback system for awhile now. Just got the middle system installed which I bought used from someone.
It's a full titanium system that drops about 50lbs from the car and adds about 30 whp give or take (I didn't dyno my car).
The system itself is a work of art and it sounds great. Also worth noting that BMW uses this system (well a catless version) for their M3 GT4 cars.
For FGR's Monkey Mondays.
OK, OK, they're not monkeys, they're apes, primates, neanderthals, whatever, to-mah-to, to-ma-to. I didn't have a monkey handy!
(And not to screw the 365 Project up completely, I took this.)
Very subtle differences between the 2011 GT-R and 2014, but of course the changes are more than skin deep!

Little shoot with this awesome Evolution VIII
Car has quite a stance.

3 AB800's used. (1 Camera Left / 2 Camera Right)
Thought I'd share the evolution of one of my Graffiti images. Taken just before Xmas on Leake Street this piece by Parlee had been tagged which distracted the eye from the artwork.
Image one is the RAW file straight out of the camera (yes I know, not very straight but it was a very cold, wet and windy day and I was already soaked so didn't have the inclination to take my time over the initial set up).
Image two is the initial edit, still showing the tags.
Image three is the final edit.
Edited mainly in Lightroom with the final collage pulled together in Photoshop Elements.
This is as an experiment to see if I could get a painting-like image without resorting to PaintShop's built in brush-stroke tools. The image is quite low resolution because my orangutan photo was so small - but I got so fascinated by his expression (which is so recognizably human) that I had to do something wih him!
OK Not a very original idea, the old head-swap chestnut - but am I bothered?
Anyway...
The orangutan is a baby and lives at Twycross Zoo. The human is me. Multiple contrast tweaks, burn-ins, colours adjustments, blurs and sharpens etc. later I got something decent. I then merged it with a photo of a screwed up / straightened out piece of white paper for the over-all texture.

Better call with some resistance
Better way to feel no shame
Better call with some persistence
That way you feel nothing at all
Better call on evolution
Better way to make a revolution...
The Land Rover 2A is a clear descendant of the Series 2 designed by The Rover Car Company as the successor to The Series 1 which commenced production in 1948.
One of the most distinct exterior changes is the adoption of the curved waste line to accommodate the vehicle's wider track.
Underneath the vehicle has a purpose built 4 Cylinder engine with a common block for both petrol and diesel variants.
This waste line was carried through until Land Rover ceased production in 2015 and is still present in the contemporary Defender.
Externally a Series 2 has a flat vallance which is different to the curved vallance used by the 2A + a myriad of other evolutionary changes.
When Rover ceased production of the P4 Car this left them with an unused surplus of 6 cylinder engines which were fitted to Series 2A LWB and Station Wagon models for both home and export markets.
Hi my name is Andy and I am a newly rebuilt and restored Series 2A 109" 6 cylinder Land Rover.
I was first made in a factory in Solihull, Birmingham, England in 1969.
I had a hard life and worked very long hours for many years and eventually fell into disrepair.
One day some men came and took me away to Scotland where, where I was taken completely to bits. I got a new chassis, and my engine was taken to bits and re-machined. All my body parts and galvanised components were taken away and re-galvanised.
I don't remember much about it, it was like I had a very long sleep, and the one day I woke up and realised I was being put back together again with lots of new nuts and bolts and hundred of shiny new rivets.
Now I look like I did when I first rolled off the factory line 52 year ago.
I belong to Mr Hugh and my Doctor when I was being operated on was Mr Graham who put me back together again with great precision and attention to detail.
I am running in at the moment and can only go about 50 MPH.
My favourite drink is petrol and I drink a lot of it particularly when I am thirsty and working hard going up hills.
Mr Hugh has told me that he plans to take me on lots of adventures which, I look forward to sharing with you.
At the moment I am holiday down at St Abbs in Berwickshire, Scotland, which is very beautiful and has lots of boats, and people and seabirds.
I might even get some work on films and on the telly. I imagine that happening to me after all this years.
I feel like I am the luckiest Land Rover in the world.
The first time I went out, I got very hot and I lost a lot of oil as my main crankshaft oil seal failed, however Mr Hugh took me back and got me fixed, so I am all right now and looking forward to all my adventures to come.

SEX, PHYSICS
and
the EVOLUTION of MAN

SEX, PHYSICS and the EVOLUTION of MAN
I remember when I was a kid I went around "the townhouses" asking all the housewives if I could have the cardboard their new pantyhose were wrapped around; hot pressed and glossy on one side, dead flat on the other, rounded corners and perfect for drawing in this skipping dashed way with the new black marker I had discovered. These new EVOLUTION of MAN drawings remind me of the joy I had drawing when I was young and the hopeful wide eyed vision I had for the world and Canada. Canada a beacon of light and progress guiding the world into the future was written on my face. I don't see that look anymore or better to say I see people trying to keep an idea of that face, but glimpsed underneath I see contortions and ticks at the way the world is; an exasperated wince quickly covered up as if to reel in an escaping beast of disillusionment and disbelief.
These new drawings are on a painted fresco like surface, dead flat, skipped and dashed with archival ink they are meant to be studies for an envisioned visage of what we hide underneath our beautiful ones.
The EVOLUTION OF MAN series is accompanied by works from the 2001 "Visions of Photonic Love" exhibition and other related works about the emergence of light at the beginning of the universe and its connection with the orgasm. These works arose from interviewed discussions with physicist Dr. Howard K. C. Yee at the University of Toronto and the subsequent video "notes on a nameless film".
"an attempt to describe the indescribable boundary between the known and unknown universe through interview and visual obliteration; at certain levels of complexity all visualization degrades into mathematics" was written on the DVD sleeve.
This video was awarded "One of the Best Filmmakers Under 25 in Canada Award" which came with a $2500 prize and a trip to Ottawa to meet with the Governor General and Minister of Arts and Culture with 10 other so awarded filmmakers. It was to theirs and my great disappointment to inform them that I was 37 at the time. The exhibition that was derived from this video was originally showed at Edward Day Gallery and then expanded for the Scope Art Fair in New York. Only 4 of these black works remain from the original exhibitions with some studies, other related works and the instigating videos they form a lovely stage backdrop of lust wandering for meaning, reason and purpose in the universe. They were originally accompanied with the phrase:
"Out of the blackness emerged joyous information to wet our lips; but in cruelty its beauty only left us wanting for more as its image slowly faded away."
I believe to approach hard strange and elusive ideas you must use peripheral vision and Newtonian half measures; random cultivation is the path to expression and enlightenment.

An oil painting (160 X 130 cm) on evolution both physical AND spiritual.

I'm in a very creative and inspired 'state' of mind at the moment, tee hee.
I really had fun with these in Studio Indigo.
LYSIANTHUS , unfurling in front of your eyes.
Originating in the West Indies, Mexico, and Central and South America, the flower is known botanically as Eustoma grandiflorum.
The common name comes from the Greek words lysis, meaning 'dissolution' and anthos, meaning 'flower'.
Colours include white, light and dark pink, lavender and deep purple. Double and single-flower varieties exist.
THANK YOU, M, (*_*)
