Mt. Kunyit is an active volcano in the Kerinci Seblat National Park, Sumatra, Indonesia. The trek to the crater takes about six hours, and passes through beautiful cloud forests and beside fumrole volcanic vents. In the middle of the crater lies a bubbling hotspring, and what locals call "Taman Dewa" or "The Garden of the Gods." It has a spiritual, mythical place in local folklore, and is the site where local hero Depati Parbo meditated to supposedly gain invulnerability to Dutch bullets during the war for Kerinci.

The Niners won a nailbiter battle against the Falcons tonight. While I was listening to it on KNBR radio (680 AM), it was filled with emotions. The ups and downs of many seasons. The highs of almost winning to the lows of, "did i really hear the offside kick work?"
The story here was that I couldn't really get close to CandleStick. SFPD blocked off the road, so I had to settle for some other shots.
This shot will never be created again. This was shot on highway 101 with the roads being closed off to the exit sign of Candlestick, while the lights and Monday night football brighten up the stadium.
Though I never went to a baseball, or a football or any live event, I felt a little bit of the Bay Area vibe tonight.
The Pendung Semurup waterfalls, approximately 15-20 meters in height, can be found on the eastern hills near the town of Semurup, and are reached after an easy, roughly one hour hike through relatively flat farmland and agroforest. Be prepared to get your feet wet wading through a few mountain streams on your way there! See more detailed descriptions here: www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.599289883456558.1073741...

This is from my tenure as the Artist in Resident at Petrified Forest National Park. Taken during an "off the beaten path hike" out to the ancient clam beds, an amazing part of the park wildnerness area that many visitors never take the time to see.

The festivities surrounding a Kenduri Sko festival in the village of Koto Renah, Kerinci, Sumatra, Indonesia. Close to midnight, villagers in the community of Koto Renah, Sungai Penuh, Kerinci gather to perform a dance in honor of their ancestors. During the dance, commonly performed throughout Kerinci during Kenduri Sko events, possession by ancestral spirits is common (sometimes taking the form of an ancestral tiger). On this night, cycles of dancing, singing, possession, and exorcism by the local "dukun" or shaman continued until 4 am.

Century Farms and Small Town Charm Along The Elkhorn Scenic Byway in Baker County Oregon
Spent a beautiful early summer day exploring small towns and century farms along the Elkhorn Scenic Byway in Baker County. Baker County is home to more than two dozen Oregon Century Farms and Ranches and the Elkhorn Scenic Byway and back roads along the way, are a great way to explore this working landscape of the American West.
Small towns along the way like Haines and Baker City offer visitors a glimpse at small town Americana at its best.
This scenic byway circles through the Elkhorn mountains of Northeast Oregon beginning and ending in Baker City and passing through small towns like Sumpter, Granite, and Haines. The drive is incredibly scenic with wide open panoramic views across the Baker valley, high alpine forests, and following pristine rivers and creeks along the way. In the winter Anthony Lakes is home to Oregon's highest base elevation ski resort. In the summer the pristine alpine lake is a fishing and camping destination. For more information about the Elkhorn Scenic Byway or other Baker County backroads and Scenic byways visit Baker County Tourism’s website www.basecampbaker.com
Big Horn Sheep in Burnt River Canyon in Baker County
A beautiful Fall day exploring the Burnt River Canyon and watching wildlife between Durkee and Unity in Baker County Oregon .
The Burnt River Canyon near Durkee is always one of our favorite drives for taking in the majestic scenery of Eastern Oregon and watching wildlife along the way. Saw lots of wildlife this trip as colder temperatures have pushed lots of deer down into the canyon. We were excited to spot a few Bighorn Sheep in rut during this trip

...or maybe a Red Giant Flying Squirrel (Petaurista petaurista)? Bukit Tapan Road, Kerinci Seblat National Park, Sumatra, Indonesia.
Brightly patterned butterflies flew around this park freely. This particular one was very bold, kept flying near me, and landed very close by and wiggled its antennae, as if studying me. I am watching it, fascinated.

One of the lesser known historic buildings in Scotland but nonetheless this magnificent Tower House sits on the summit of King's Seat Hill and was built by King David 11 in the 12th Century then sold it to a relative of his - Robert Bruce - who's family built extensively around it throughout the centuries until the last of the line died around 1715 , when most of it was demolished.
Local mining subsidence cause part of the tower itself to collapse in 1955 and it's owners Historic Scotland have done extensive rebuilding work with the aim of getting full public access again. Today , you can only see the tower from the outside
