Knowing Carl Sandburg through Connemara
By Don Iannone
Atop the rounded hill
Through the tall dark green pines
White, simple, modest, without pretense
Mimicking the man, the family living there
Seven bedrooms for dreaming
All woven as one on 248 priceless acres
Draped in nature’s greens, browns, blues
Sandburg’s home, Flat Rock, NC
Named Connemara by its first owners
Meaning “of the sea” in Irish
A name the Sandburgs carried on
A national treasure by every count
14,000 books filling the walls
All read by the poet’s penetrating eyes
Seeing through life’s clutter
Coming to rest on what’s most important
His last ten books conceived, written here
That extra bedroom, even the living room, still speak the words
The typewriters, his favorite chairs, even the ashtrays
Still filled with his spirit—
A spirit known to us through Chicago, Grass, A Coin, other poems
I took pictures, but wanted to touch what he touched
And see what he saw, even the pain
Seeing his bed, I marveled at how his dreams came true
Leaving the grounds, I took one last picture
Of the lake before his home
I saw its unwavering stillness
How it reflected everything about it
I knew then why Sandburg’s last years were here
His conviction, strength, dedication
His inalienable sense of being a vehicle for beauty and truth
Seeing these waters, it all became more clear to me
I've noticed before how the skins of onions are interesting to photograph, because of their colour and texture. (OK, maybe it's just me!).
If Mungaman sees this (or even if he doesn't), they're Dave's onions!
Strobist info: Nikon SB910 flash in shoot-though umbrella at left and at same height as subject. Nikon SB600 flash with Rogue honeycomb spot modifier above left and slightly behind, just to give a "hair light" to the topmost onion(s). Using TTL flash for both, with 1.5 stops negative flash compensation for umbrella light. (The spot is so constrained it was just a case of trial and error to decide compensation for that). Both flashes triggered by Pocket Wizard Flex TT5s with a Flex mini TT1 and AC3 zone controller on camera.

Knowing how much I like to photograph nature and everything else, my co-worker Amy pointed out these bird tracks in the snow one morning on the back deck at our office. She also said she made sure not to step in them, because she knew I would want to take a picture. :)

Knowing the nice weather would be coming to an end, I took the kids to Oak Openings one Friday after picking them up at the baby sitters. I had intended to get some shots of them for Christmas cards, but by the time I got them to stop playing on the playground equipment the light had gone flat. I did manage to take this one, though.
Thanks for looking.

Knowing full well that lake Glenmaggie is only at around 30% capacity at the moment I knew I wouldn't get the compositions with water around the trees etc that I normally chase at this location. It did however enable me to drive to trees normally up to 4-5ft under water at their base when the lake is full
Knowing that there were only a few seconds of light remaining, I slid to a stop in the gravel entrance of this drive-in theater somewhere in Southern Michigan or Northern Ohio; I jumped out and snapped 3 quick shots before the sun completely disappeared behind the screen ....it was close.

“Being hurt inevitably breeds feelings of hatred towards your attacker. But when we hurt others, we have to deal with their hatred for us, and our own feelings of guilt. Knowing what it feels like to be hurt is exactly why we try to be kind to others. That’s what makes us humans.” ―Masashi Kishimoto
Knowing I was considering the Wildcard, Omar so graciously offered his beautiful Banshee Rune for a test ride before finalizing my decision. To be honest, this was literally forced on me in the name of sound decision-making - and I'm not one to argue with such an offer! To make the comparison that much better, I took both Banshees out together, so I could try them out on lines one after the other.
With 6" of travel front and rear, a mini-horst-link suspension, and geometry geared toward long distance XC and All-Mountain riding, the Rune is right up one of my alleys. If I was looking for a bike to replace the Chameleon, rather than complement it, this type of bike would be perfect. I was somewhat surprised to feel pedal feedback when standing up to pedal, almost like the bike had oval-shaped Biopace chainrings. However, when seated, the Rune is quite capable of negotiating technical uphill sections.
First, I will admit that even for an XC bike, this frame is one size too big for me. I buried the post quite a bit to ride it down hill. That said, with the same head angle as the Wildcard and BottleRocket - and more rear travel - the Rune is not nearly as comfortable descending as either of them. Slacker seat angle and longer seat tube at the same top tube length aside, the Rune seems not to squat into its suspension travel when you put your weight on it. I found myself skittering down slippery rock sections on the Rune, then walking up and crawling down on the Wildcard in full control. Since this is a condition I run into quite often, my bike needs to be good at this! I carried the Rune down sections that I'm comfortable riding my hardtail down.
The few times I was able to put the Rune in the air, it didn't object. But something about its suspension design makes it a less stable descender than I'm looking for. I'm quite certain that if this bike was a size or two smaller, I could make do, but that brings me back to the point about complementing the Shore-capable hardtail in my stable. In looking for a bike that will primarily be ridden on the Shore, I suppose I am looking for something more towards the "freeride" end of things rather than "All-Mountain". If I were to choose a bike for the Seven Summits and other epics, the Rune would be ideal.
