Taken at Pebble Beach in Marathon - this was on Tuesday October 26 the day before much of the storm hit - Thunder Bay was already getting hit with this storm...the sun broke out for about 5 minutes and the light was awesome - this is pretty much as shot (minor contrast adjustments).
OMG! We so totally had to buy this diaper cover when we saw it....we were so highly amused. Here is what it says:

Dogwood week 38: Shoot a landscape from a low point of view. Struggled to find foreground interest this week. No red leaves yet in my neck of the woods.

I'm probably stating the obvious here but a half decent landscape picture does very much depend upon good lighting.
I've seen this view several times and on each occasion it looks different. In the morning, when the light is colder and in the opposite direction, the mountains look mysterious. In the summer, when the sun is high, they look flat.
Yesterday, in the warm light of late afternoon, I think they looked their best.
I only had a narrow window of opportunity because half an hour earlier or later and the scene looked very different.

Project 365 (123/365)- Aug. 24, 2010
I have a weakness for yellow vintage VWs. My Dad dropped me off at kindergarten in a '71 Super Beetle, just this shade; at 15, he started teaching me to drive it; and at 27, towards the end of my last year of grad school, I had to put her out to pasture.
I've never seen a truck like this one, and I certainly couldn't just walk on by.
Well I started the Mexico photos with a shot of coral from Puerto Morelos National park, so I thought its appropriate to finish up my Mexico set with this photo. Also from Puerto Morelos. I hope you enjoyed the photos from Mexico as this is the last of them. Not long until spring and then I will be outside getting new photos again. Until then I'll probably post some oldies to keep my stream going.
BILLY CONNOLLY: MADE IN SCOTLAND FROM SCULPTED STEEL BARS, AND HUNG FROM A WEE BUILDING IN ANDERSTON.

Made in Scotland from girders … not quite, but a sculpture of Big Yin Billy Connolly has been created in metalwork to signal the completion of the first phase of a landmark McBains Cooper project-managed residential housing project in his home town of Anderston, Glasgow.
The sculpture, made from steel bars by renowned north-of-the-border artist Andy Scott, is hung high on an elevation of the first phase to be completed.
And while Glasgow’s most famous son couldn’t make it to the unveiling of a ground level commemorative plaque marking the occasion, a big crowd of locals and media did.
Property and construction consultancy McBains Cooper are project managers on the five phase residential rebuild of Anderston, working with client Sanctuary Housing, and the sculpture of Billy Connolly is high up on the elevation overlooking Glasgow.
Such was the attention to detail during the project as a whole that the team even designed one apartment specifically for the needs of one family, and the gratitude and delight of the residents at that sort of effort - plus the overall finished product – has been clearly signalled by how well kept the whole area is.
“We occasionally get celebrities turning up at launches and openings, but it’ll be nice to drive past the sculpture of the Big Yin every day and be reminded that we played a part in putting Anderston back on the map – after Billy Connolly did it first time round,” said Alan Hannah of McBains Cooper.
The project involves the demolition of a number of 1960s housing blocks in the Glasgow suburb, but has proven to be a massive logistical challenge for the McBains Cooper and Sanctuary teams.
“The key issues here are that the work is going on in amongst a number of schools and nurseries, while also being surrounded by occupied homes – so not only have the logistics of getting into the sites been taxing the grey matter, there has also been the issue of moving families out and into nearby accommodation, and then into the completed Phase One apartment complex,” said Alan Hannah.
“But we know we’ve got it right, firstly because the local residents were surveyed and asked what they wanted and needed in the area – a target we delivered against – but secondly because you don’t have to go far through the area to see how well-kept and looked-after the communal areas are.
“This is one of those incredibly complex but equally incredibly satisfying projects that’s clearly making a vast difference to life in Anderston. And with the Big Yin looking down on us, we wouldn’t dare get it wrong.”

After sitting patiently for a long macro portrait session the beetle finally had enough and did a short hop into my lens hood in preparation for take off from the top of my camera.
