Hill Near Mesquite Flat, Dusk. Death Valley National Park, California. March 29, 2011. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
Dusk light above a hill near Mesquite Flat in Death Valley, backed by a large alluvial fan from Tucki Mountain.
At the end of this day I was shooting from the top of a low hill in the Valley east of Stovepipe Wells, and there were interesting subjects throughout almost the entire 360 degree panorama around this elevated position. With this in mind, I had chosen to use the long 100-400mm zoom so that I could have some flexibility in composing elements of this huge scene.
I was mainly working with things that were in the large arc to my west (dunes and Cottonwood mountains and base of Tucki Mountain), north (the main Valley and transverse dunes), and east (the mountains running along that edge of the Valley) since the further subjects of the lower Valley were more or less out of sight beyond the alluvial fan that appears in the photograph. But I kept being intrigued by the low, dark hill on the flats below the similar hill on which I was standing. There is a row of them stretching from near the Devils Cornfield area up and across this alluvial fan. As the evening light transitioned towards post-sunset light I saw that the glow from clouds (a bit of which is visible in the distance above the Black Mountains) was lighting this hill and the surrounding flats in an interesting and colorful way.
But I had a little problem. I was still working a number of subjects and once and I really needed to keep shooting that 100-400. 100mm was still too long for this scene, but I didn't have time to remove it and put on a shorter lens. I figured that I could simply change the camera to vertical orientation, very carefully level the tripod, and include the whole scene in four panning vertical frames that I could stitch together later. People often do this so that they can produce extremely high resolution image, but that wasn't my goal at all. In any case, it worked, and not only did I manage to get the shot that needed a wider lens, but as a bonus it is a very high resolution shot.

Went for an awesome ride today after dropping off the kids at school and had a 2hr+ window. On the last downhill section I suddenly noticed that something wasn't right with the tire. Sure enough I had a flat. Had to hike out and carry the bike out the last 2km. Wouldn't have made it to pick up Maya so I called a friend if she could grab Maya and I raced to go get Lucy from her school.

Calebs Flat Stanley is dwarfted by Giant Steam Locomotive in Kingman, AZ. These steam locomotives were used until 1950's. The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe bought a total of 65 Northerns, in four batches, all from the Baldwin Locomotive Works.
The first group of 14 were delivered in 1927 (road number 3751), 1928 (road numbers 3752 through 3760) and 1929 (road numbers 3761 through 3764). These locomotives burned coal and had 73" drivers. They were later rebuilt by the AT&SF to have 80" drivers and were converted to oil burners. The first was rebuilt in 1938 and the last in 1941. This group was known as Class 3751.
The AT&SF used its 4-8-4s for passenger service. Since its main line stretching over 2200 miles (Chicago to California), the AT&SF had a real need for excellent motive power.
Convinced that the Northerns could handle its needs, AT&SF ordered 11 more in 1938 with 80" drivers (known as Class 3765 and included road numbers 3765 through 3775) with another 10 ordered in 1941 (Class 3776, including road numbers 3776 through 3785)
The last group of 30 were built in 1943 and 1944. Wartime shortages of material resulted in ordinary metals being used for their construction. As a result, they were the heaviest Northerns ever built. They out weighed their nearest rivals by over 2000 pounds. This group was known as Class 2900 and included road numbers 2900 through 2929.

A hangglider pilot friend John took me up for a ride. Chris, also a plane pilot, decided to flyby us when he saw my camera. He made many beautiful passes around me. We just fly freely like birds...
On my way back from White Heath, IL I got a flat on the front tire, 15 miles from home. Fortunately I had a spare tube and 2 C02 cartridges.
Flat topped hills (called Karoo Koppies) are highly characteristic of the southern and southwestern Karoo landscape.

For Eric's birthday this year, we decided to stay in a hotel overnight in Wendover. On our way then, we decided to stop off at the Bonneville Salt Flats where we played around for a bit before heading to our hotel.
