The flat hill in the distance is a marvelous formation that can be recognised from miles away. Just to the south of it is located the historic 77 ranch first owned by Peck and Converse. Mike Shonsey of the Johnson County Range War was employed by the 77 ranch. www.wheeler-roots.org/histories/history-shonsey.php

In his book,The long trail from Texas, Ad Spaugh talks of burying a couple children who live with thier mother in a cabin east of Flat Top that took sick and died. They were buried on a pine knoll nearby Flat Top by a crew of sad cowboys.

My Grandmother who knew Ad and sadly recalled visiting with him about the burial. She told me of it before I had ever read the book many years later. Exciting and hard times...

“Salt Flat Reflections” — The lower slopes of the Panamint Mountains are reflected in shallow water on Death Valley salt flats.

 

The experience of making this photograph was perhaps as enjoyable as the scene itself. I was up very early and walking out to the edge of the salt flat a bit more than a half hour before sunrise. From earlier scouting I had a pretty good idea of where I wanted to be. Out there next to the playa it was utterly silent and still, and I was the only person there to witness the morning light coming to the Panamint Range and then the valley.

 

It likely seems counterintuitive to go to Death Valley to photograph a mountain range reflected in still water. But out in the valley, usually a good distance from the roadways, there is essentially always water. It may be pooled and slowly evaporating or, as here, it flows slowly all year long. Here the water is probably less than an inch deep, but that’s enough to produce a fine reflection.

Come down off your throne and leave your body alone - somebody must change

You are the reason I’ve been waiting so long - somebody holds the key

Well, I’m near the end and I just ain’t got the time

And I’m wasted and I can’t find my way home

 

Come down on your own and leave your body alone - somebody must change

You are the reason I’ve been waiting all these years - somebody holds the key

Well, I’m near the end and I just ain’t got the time

And I’m wasted and I can’t find my way home...

In the Flats,in Cleveland.

The salt flats off the Amboy road were covered with water for about a month. It wasn't deep, but was just enough to provide a wonderful mirror-effect.

My hands with my new mani. This was yesterday’s pic, missed posting here. Sigh 😔

Bought a 'pin dish' off eBay ... so I thought, let's do a Flat-Lay !

Another 100 kph shot while enjoying a spell from driving. Occassionally something interesting happened like the tree and clouds.

Have a good day, we are having wind and rain.

The first-generation Ford F-Series is a series of pickup trucks and commercial vehicles produced by Ford. Introduced in late 1947, the F-Series was the first post-war truck design from Ford. The first generation of the F-Series would remain in production until 1952. F-Series trucks were assembled at sixteen different Ford factories. Serial numbers indicate the truck model, engine, year, assembly plant, and unit number. The most common model was the F-1 with a 6 ½-foot bed followed by the F-2 and F-3 Express models with an 8-foot (2.4 m) bed. The first F-Series truck (known as the Ford Bonus-Built) was introduced in late 1947 (went on sale January 16, 1948) as a replacement for the pre-War designed Ford trucks. It had a flat, one-piece windshield and integrated headlamps. It had a wider cab. Options included the "See-Clear" windshield washer (operated by foot plunger), passenger-side windshield wiper & sun visor, and passenger-side taillight. The F-1 truck was also available with additional chrome trim and two horns as an option. All F-series were available with optional "Marmon-Herrington All Wheel Drive" until 1959. Design of the F-Series truck changed tremendously from 1950 to 1954. From 1948 to 1950, the grill was a series of horizontal bars and the headlights were set into the fenders. For 1951 and 1952, the headlights were connected by a wide aerodynamic cross piece with three similarly aerodynamic supports. The rear window was wider in these later trucks and the dashboard was redesigned. This new cab was called the "Five-Star Cab".

This is called flat sea-holly or blue eryngo. They had this blooming in a portion of their gardens at Point Defiance Park. I don't believe I've ever seen it before, but it's certainly quite lovely and different. Hope you enjoy!

As both a photographer as well as a motorsport enthusiast, the Bonneville Salt Flats, home of the Bonneville Salt Flats International Speedway, have long been a place I wished to visit. That wish finally came true along the epic 7,000 mile road trip I took with my friend from Miami, Florida to Seattle, Washington. I liked the combination of blue sky, white clouds, and the glistening white salt surface all around me. I love the patterns of the salt lines which remind me of cracked earth, and I wanted to showcase a perspective of these patterns for miles, with beautiful mountains lining the perfectly flat horizon. I set up my tripod and aimed the camera down. I used Tilt to ensure as much of the scene as possible would be in focus. I took in the beauty of this place. Then I made my shot. Enjoy: The Bonneville Salt Flats. Like no place on Earth.

Plymouth 1963 Flat fish...I have just found my notes and drawings from the Plymouth Marine Biology Field course I attended in 1963! I spent my 21st birthday out on a trawler! (in VERY rough weather, feeling somewhat sea-sick). (this gives away my age...)
