I got there early, and I had the pullout to myself so I set up to get ready for sunset. This is a three shot panorama.
The Oregon Coast near Lincoln City, Oregon. Their is a pullout which reachs into the ocean like a spit which allowed me to get these images.
Simon: *strolls in, flip-flops slapping loudly* “Where’re Emma and Z?” *sprawls next to Kumi, yawning hugely* Did they survive kipping on the pullout?”
Kumi (flippantly): “They’re young and supple. They’ll bounce right back from having their spines pretzeled. Probably.”
Simon: “Too right. Better them than us. You do realize if you and Yuri hadn’t dragged your feet on choosing a house for us to holiday in down here, we’d be sleeping in relative comfort right now, yeah?”
Kumi: “Untrue. Mags wouldn’t sleep anywhere but here. She wants to be in the immediate vicinity when Satoru returns. If that wasn’t the case, forget the vacation home, we’d be in a five-star hotel with spa.”
Simon: “When he returns, not if?”
Kumi: *shakes head* “Mags won’t survive ‘if.’ Besides, I find that…I want to see Satoru back safely, too.”
Simon: *arches an eyebrow* “Really?”
Kumi (stiffly): “Believe it or not, even when I severely dislike people, I don’t wish them dead…unless we’re talking about Grandfather. He’s a special case.”
Simon: *throws an arm around Kumi, pulling her close* “And believe it or not, I already know you’re a soft touch, pet. You’re mostly bark, sometimes bite. So where’s Mags?”
Kumi: “She went for a walk. She’s feeling nauseated again and thought the fresh air might help. Satoru going MIA has really screwed up her digestion, plus I think there’s something else bothering her, but she won’t share it with me. *unusually subdued expression* Yuri should’ve come. I’m no good with this kind of stuff. All I do is say the wrong things. I don’t want to kick her when she’s down.”
Simon: *kisses Kumi’s forehead* “You’re doing just fine, Kumi. You and Yuri have different ways of going about things, true, but that’s not to say one is necessarily better than the other. You make Mags laugh. You exasperate her. You make her forget for a couple of ticks why we’re all here. I think you’re exactly what she needs.”
Kumi: *lays her head on Simon’s chest, sighs* “Thanks.”

As Hurricane Kate dissipated, it came through southern California. On this day I headed to the Laguna Mountains. This shot was taken from a roadside pullout. The clouds had dropped and a fog was drifting in and out. I watched it come and go, and tried several compositions. I was drawn to the line of rocks leading to the large tree with the smaller tree beside it and the distant trees fading into the fog. Shortly after taking this shot, the sky opened up in a downpour. Even though I had a rain jacket, I was grateful to have the shelter of my car to retreat into.
This rapid can be seen from a roadside pullout along the Klondike Highway in northern Yukon, but you need a drone to get far enough out to fully separate the islands from the shore.

Still playing with raising the flash up high with only the speedlight pullout diffuser. For Riley's shot I also added a black foamy partial snoot to keep the light from straying upward. Not sure it improved things, however, and ultimately removed it for Toby's shot.
The lack of a softbox does create a harsher light, but as the boys eyes are covered by the hat, the models don't mind.
Note to self - back the cot up a few inches next time.
My "studio" is the spare bedroom - at least for now - and so space is a bit tight.

No matter how brief your stay in Honolulu, one sight you can't miss is the incredible sunset view of Honolulu and Diamond Head from the one of the pullouts on Round Top and Tantalus Drives. It is a 10 mile loop with incredible scenery. Just remember to take your circular polarizer off when doing the wide angle landscapes with lots of blue sky, otherwise your shot will look like mine.
What's this? A thousand unnamed pullouts pepper Highway 16, a little past a trailer park, and across from the river, a blanket of yelloworange leads to a little footbridge, a deck chair, an old skid trail, Autumn resplendent. Bug, usually in motion but calmed after a good sprint, figures out the composition and nests in.

This was an awesome day. We left Egilsstadir early for the drive to Myvatn. We passed a number of waterfalls (with no pullouts or names) until we came to Rjukandafoss - a beautiful waterfall with several sections. When hiked as the trail and had some great views. Nice start to the day. Back on the road to cover what is known as the Big Sky Country of Iceland - pretty much a lot of nothing. We were headed for Dettifoss - a major waterfall on my Bucket List. It exceeded expectations. Absolutely stunning visually and auditory - it is massive. I tried some long exposure with a tripod but it felt like the ground was shaking. Heather let me check out another waterfall about a mile away - Selfoss. If Dettifoss wasn't around, this would be a major destination by itself. Very different than Dettifoss but awesome on its own. I stayed for a bit and just ogled everything. Simply wow. I returned to the car and Heather dragged me off to another trail with very cool canyon views. We heard there was a third waterfall very close by so naturally we went. It was amazing. There were about 2-3 other people at Hafragilsfoss. Good God Almighty - this waterfall was spectacular - and the guidebook said this was difficult to reach with a 4x4 and best skipped. I'm glad we ignored this (the road was actually a piece of cake). Side note - the area around here looked like Martian landscape. We were in Heaven! We reluctantly headed to Myvatn - the Icelandic equivalent of Yellowstone. It was nice but we must be jaded since we live so close to Yellowstone. All in all, a very nice day, and I definitely want to go back to Dettifoss and the other falls.

This landslide of rock, called Fallen City, is found along Hwy 14 in Wyoming. The sign at the pullout says,
"In the process of uplift which created the Big Horn Mountains, faults and fractures formed in the rocks. The thick layers of limestone in this area were fractured parallel to the valley. When a section of the Earth's crust sank, huge chunks broke loose from a layer of rock, resulting in the massive boulder field before you. Because of the geometric shapes of the rocks, the boulders can be imagined as the toppled buildings of a 'fallen city.'"

One of the plans for the new kitchen is to be more organized and have everything in a well-organized space, not just stuff piling up in the cupboards.
Under the sink we now have these two slide out fixtures. One thing I like about the baskets on the left, is that they allow you to get some storage in the vertical space, which was completely unused in our old sink cabinet.

The Kancamagus Highway is a scenic road between Lincoln and North Conway, New Hampshire. There are many pullouts along the way that give access to wonderful views of the White Mountains. This is a view of the Swift river, just off the road. Although most trees in this shot are evergreens, the few colourful trees along the river still give a nice impression of the fall colours in the area.

St. Thomas was so hilly that most homes were on a slope with nothing more than a small pullout to park a vehicle. Next to the pull out would be stairs going down/up to the house.
Jimbobmobile at the pullout of the Carcross Desert. Yes, my car is very efficient on fuel, which is why I like it. May 21, 2016.
Flodman's thistle at the "Man and Grass" pullout at Theodore Roosevelt National Park last Sunday (8-31-2014), with what I think is one of the several species of goldenrod found here glowing yellow in the background (I am still working on id's for much of the vegetation I have discovered in the region).
Lots of people stopping at the pullouts to watch the incredible sunset at Saguaro National Park. I caught this guy just as he was taking a photo.

Monument Valley, along the Valley drive. We stopped at a few pullouts to enjoy the view and shoot a few pictures. The "lemming effect" is funny. We stop somewhere where there is nobody around, get out of the car, and in just a few minutes there are 3 other cars near ours. It happened over and over again, no matter WHERE we stopped.
It's a beautiful drive through the Valley, but the roads are really rough and sandy. I'm glad we have a Jeep, we saw someone with a nice mustang and he had the top down. I guess he felt "cool", but we laughed at him. There was one very sandy hill that put some strain on our car, I bet he had a tough time getting up it. And then the big rocks and potholes probably put a few scratches on his undercarriage :-)
I sorta like this, but I can't decide on the white balance -- maybe it's a bit too warm.

Red Rocks just north of Los Angeles. A really great example of a common planning/design practice in the United States. Find an interesting point in the landscape, put a road through it. Then, on either side of the road, put a parking area. Walk up and consume. It's fascinating to see how commerce and landform merge.
View is from a pullout along the main park road. The mountains are about 20 miles distant. Photo was taken in 2004.
A first for me! Last pullout just south of the Piedras Blancas Lighhouse, San Simeon, California.
Avibase has it listed as Tringa incanus, and Cornell as Tringa incana, so I have both in the tags.
Lots of Fiddleneck along Hwy 46. I wish there were more side roads in this area. Tons of flowers right now. Carpets of orange, yellow, and purple in many locations. Unfortunately the pullouts weren't in the best locations for the flowers.
