Deliriously happy.
First, we're ditching our parents for three weeks of freedom and second, we're returning to England - we'd been gone almost eight years.
1972, Ruth and I had saved our money (mostly babysitting) and bought cheap student plane tickets and a BritRail Pass. We're seniors in High School but I was at a hippie school where I was told to "check out the women's movement in England" Ruth went to a regular school - I forget what she was supposed to do to "justify" 3 weeks off.
Our parents - not really the kind to worry (we're seventeen with no idea what we'll do for three weeks when we get over there except for a few nights at relatives) - sent us off in high spirits - lots of jokes and cracking each other up - general hilarity at the depot. In contrast, the American girl that went with us was saying an emotional goodbye to her mom who was also teary and worried.
The really funny thing about this was that that reaction was so foreign to us I can remember saying in disbelief "Wait, you're not crying are you?" not to be mean but just amazed!
Remember this, Ruth?
A road trip to Arches, Canyonlands, Monument Valley and the Page AZ area. A bucket list trip and meeting up with friend Collett. See you all in about a week. Till then happy trails to all.
On the way to Phoot Camp, our first stop was at "Slab City", an area known as an "RV oasis", due to the thousands of campers that live and move through the area off the grid in the cooler months. Lauren and I had a "Spin Off" with our 360 spinners. Here's the shot from her perspective.

I'm thinking it would be cool to colour match and join them up for a "720" spinner shot.

The LPG tanker 'Navigator Luga' (18219 grt), the cruise ship 'Carnival Valor' (which I presume is American spelling for 'Valour' - 110438 grt) and a passing seagull off Weymouth, 8th July 2020.

One Canon 580EX flashgun was used on a tripod mount, located at the right top. Honeycomb grid was used to direct and narrow the beam of the light. Contrast was added on post processing to remove unnecessary details, some sharpening on eyes and lips.
