Steptoe Butte is a famous landscape photographers paradise. I'd never been there before but had heard about the place for many years. I was not alone. Vans full of workshop photographers descended upon the site and stood tripod leg to tripod leg. I shot the sunset the day before and tried again this morning for the sunrise. Unfortunately the sunrise was at 4:59 am so I had to get up at 4:00 and get my wits about me to face the inevitable herd of shutterbugs. And, in fact, they were already lined up waiting to capture the magical orb ascending above the horizon. Well, it wasn't particularly dramatic so immediately after the sun hit the cloud line it was back on the bus for them. But about a half an hour later the sun started peeking through the clouds at various places and only myself and one other person were there for this interesting effect. Patience sometimes does pay off.

The beach always reminds me of holidays and we are about to leave for a short break. Hopefully the sun will shine as in this shot from last night at Largs.

This image was taken on June 1st 2008. This was the day that I had recieved my first DSRL. I had been shooting with a Panasonic Lunix before this, that I absolutely loved.... but, I had decided that I needed a true DSRL with the flexablilty of lens changing.
A week or so before this image was taken I had ordered a brand new Canon 40d with a 50mm 1.8 prime lens. When this baby arrived I was so excited. Taking pictures of everything. We were hanging out in the back yard when it looked like in the distance there were some cool clouds hanging around. I decided to head over to the nearest bike bridge to see what it looked like. So happy that I decided to do this. I remember coming back from the bridge and looking at the pictures I had just captured.... and I just smiled. I had witnessed one of the better skies I have seen. It was an awesome day and and awesome feeling.
Photography has some great personalities. It can bring you way up and it can bring you way down. Those times that are frustrating only make those godspeak times that much better. That's why we keep on heading out!
I had posted another similar image from this night about a year ago. Not sure which one I like better. The sun was coming out of the clouds more on this one..
Hope you like!

With lovers and friends, I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life, I've loved them all"
The strong rays of the sun shine brightly through the clouds above the island of Maui, Hawaii. The photograph was taken by Skott Reader at Iao Valley State Park. This peaceful 4,000-acre, 10-mile long park is located in Central Maui just west of Wailuku,
OK, I admit it; I am a science fiction GEEK!! I grew up watching sputnik, moon landings and space shuttles. I watched Star Trek, Star Wars and the X-Files. I read books by Phillip K. Dick, Ray Bradbury and Arthur C. Clark. To this day if there is a movie about an alien invasion, UFO landing, or giant insects eating Cleveland Ohio, I am getting the popcorn and drinks out because it is going to be good times for Jack!!!
I always thought this would be a great sci-fi title for a novel or short story!!! If I had any talent, I would write it myself!! Lol

Since the Middle Ages the chateau in Arc-en-Barrois has belonged to princes, royal families, and French nobility. During the 1789 revolution part of the chateau was destroyed and later confiscated during the First Republic. At the restoration of the monarchy in 1830, King Louis-Philippe (1830-1848), member of the Orleans family, resumed ownership of the chateau and its vast forests. The King later transferred the property to his sister, Princess Adelaide d'Orleans. Between 1844 and 1848, Princess Adelaide rebuilt Château d'Arc-En-Barrois into its current form to serve as a hunting lodge. During World War I, the chateau served as a temporary English hospital, under the supervison of Miss Bromley-Martin. Later on, during World War II, the chateau briefly served as a local Nazi headquarters. In 2001, the chateau was bought by a Dutch shipping magnate who completely renovated the building to convert it into a Luxury Hotel.

根據89年大修的「農業發展條例」以及90年發布的「農業用地興建農舍辦法」規定，如果是八十九年以後取得的農地，土地面積必須大於756坪，二年之後才可以申請農舍。至於農民資格的認定，由於稅法已經取消「自耕農」的身分認定，身分證也不再加註職業登記，是以農民資格的認定大多由地方政府及農會自行處理，但是幾乎都沒有問題，也就是說，任何人只要完成農地過戶，設籍兩年以上，再提出無自用農舍證明即可申請興建農舍，不需要建築師簽證，而這麼低的門檻與簡單的程序，正如彭作奎當初所預言的一樣，開啟了一扇通往未知命運的大門，所以八年來農舍申請案大增，以偏遠的花蓮為例，94年核發農舍建照171件，95年核發農舍建照152件，96年核發農舍建照194件，97年預估也會超過150件，如果以這種每年150件以上的速度去化農地，每案又都是89年以後取得的新農地，就表示每年至少會有37.5公頃的農地興建農舍，當中即便有20%的農舍確實供作農用，仍舊表示每年會有30公頃以上的耕地消失，至於宜蘭就更熱鬧了，農發條例修正前曾在宜蘭置產的投資者，都在95年雪隧通車的那一刻舉國同歡，如今單單三星鄉一地每年的農舍增加量就已破百，壯圍、五結一帶則是滿目瘡痍，其他鄉鎮更不用講。這些如雨後春筍般長出的農舍多為「假農舍」，與農業生產毫無關係，大多只是作為都市人的假日別墅而已，若能與當地農村相安無事倒也罷了，偏偏「假農舍」帶來的問題不勝枚舉，包含污染農村環境、加速農地碎化、影響農地日照等等，當然最糟糕的還在後面，因為這些專為伺候都市人而分割的農地，一旦興建了房舍之後，根本不可能再變回真農地，「假農舍」對於土地的殺傷力就如同不可逆的化學反應一樣。

Rusty old plow and trailer deep in the forest of Ojibway Park in Windsor Ontario. They've been there so long the trees have grown into and over them.
A little drama over the sea at Brighton! Just minutes later the clouds parted and the blue sky returned.
The sunset might not have been so colourful the other night, but the golden light beamed between the buildings was awesome!
On this day in history....
The light was not kind to photographers.
The haze was dense, the clouds were non-discript and the contrast was high.
But we did get a brief light show over the Riggindale valley.
Northern Arizona has made a lasting impression on me. It is no wonder ancient native civilizations populated this area. This view is from the Tuzigoot pueblo that was built 700-900 years ago with a sprawling 100 room complex atop a hill in this area.
