This hiker has gone well beyond the end of the Blackett's Ridge Trail, but won't go any further unless he's able to sprout wings... he's just steps away from a quick trip to eternity. On the left is Thimble Peak, a familiar landmark that can be seen from many spots around Tucson.
Note that the saguaros are far less dense in this photo than the previous one, and there are very few above my vantage point... Except in ideal growing conditions (getting enough sun & water) they usually don't live much above about 4700'.
I was away the last several days, in the backcountry of the high Sierra Nevada wilderness doing what I like best: being alone and making photographs. It was good to get lost in silence, clean (albeit thin) air, brilliant stars, and untouched wilderness. It was a soulful experience. But let's talk photo... This is one of the Kearsarge Lakes, which are in a basin below 11,832 ft Kearsarge Pass. (Hiking up there with 50lbs of gear was not easy for my old bones) I was camping on the shore, which didn't leave me with much an excuse not to get out of the snug warmth of my sleeping bag to brave the sub-freezing cold and snap a few photos at sunrise. Most of you know I'm more a black and white enthusiast, but on occasion color expresses the moment better. Don't worry, thrilling black and white photos will be forthcoming. After all, I was literally walking in the footsteps of Ansel Adams. Until then, enjoy a little color. _0164216
We were a bit disappointed that the swimming pool of an abandoned hospital didn't have any water left, but we didn't let that stop us going for a swim. It was a warm day and we needed to cool down.
Another very enjoyable day out, and got some good pics.
Thanks Mick for this idea :-)
You're going to get us a reputation for getting our kit off at this rate!!
Okay. The Rollercoaster is cool. But it also needs customising right? So what would you like to see one customised as?
Give me your ideas. And one of them will happen.
Mid Summer and barely a person in sight. Bliss. A three frame stitched panorama of Cuttagee Beach on the NSW Far South Coast. Recent flooding of local rivers has washed a lot of tree branches into the sea, to become stranded on beaches. Branch teepees abound along this stretch of coast, but no sign of the builders today. Imaged with an Industar 10 (FED10) 50mm f3.5 collapsible lens @ f8. Looking north towards Bermagui, with Gulaga (Mt Dromedary) featuring on the skyline.
Noticed a young magellanic penguin calling out for attention at Magdalena Island, Chile. He did not seem too happy and calling for its mother? These particular penguins dig out soil and create their nests.
This guy needs a few more years to fully develop the eponymous "big curl" horns these sheep are famous for, but he's still a great specimen of his breed, and his horn already makes an impressively big shadow in the bright sunlight.

Usually I try build completely original mocs but once I saw this scene I could not resist. It is based off the main setting for the cinematic story trailer. I would have loved to use olive green but unfortunately I have nowhere near enough :P The characters where fun to make even though they may not completely resemble their original source. I don't play the game (because off our old family PC) but I would highly recommend it to anyone as it looks amazing.
Hope you enjoy :D
This is also a chance to try out the new peices from my first BL order. Mainly bley tiles :P
I thought we needed a break from all the wedding stuff, so its back to my old favourite… cloud porn.

A poor patchjob on a 2 window BN SD60M rolls U-MNUCXA0-46T past Fairview Avenue in Downers. Now some of these things aren't the most pretty, but hey most aren't as bad as this!
