this is one of the roads leading up to the east bay hills. last winter’s record rain has damaged a section of this road and the city has closed off that section to traffic. that’s great because there are a few scene spots on this road that have no pullout. now i can just walk up anytime and take the photos i always dreamed about. that’s exactly what i did. i started the day thinking i need an escape from the craziness that invades our space so much these days. but as i walked uphill i didn’t seem to be able to escape from the crazy tweets of the day. the fact that there were two guys arguing loudly about the tweets didn't help. anyways when i came to the damaged section of the road i saw a crack has opened up in the right lane and a section of the right lane looks like it may slip off the side of the hill. as i inspected the crack i noticed how this road is very much like our country. there are two sides to this road but they go their separate ways as though one has nothing to do with the other. and like this road, the extreme right is ever ready to go over the cliff and take the rest of us with it. and like the median our president seemed determined to keep us divided with his steady tweets. the phrase divided nation kept echoing in my head and i felt rather glum. thing about hiking is the rhythmic movements do strange things to our brains. as i followed the median the pairs of markers began to look like staples (yes I know it’s strange). and a new thought popped into my head. what if the median is not the president? what if the median is us? the extreme edges may define the boundaries of the road but the center is where the bulk of the road is. the two lanes have far more in common than they think. they share the median don’t they? and it’s only the edges that have a habit of getting lost in the weeds, prone to breakage. the center is reliable, solid, sane. if we all act like staples, stapling the two sides of the road together, the edges can split off, but with courtesy and consideration for each other the road will still be serviceable. and that gave me hope. and with that thought, staple anyone?

still experimenting with the new toy camera... I think running them through a K. Miller Photography action is the best outcome so far...

This is a LeMans II Corner Pullout by Kesseböhmer.
We stopped at a little pullout overlooking this wide meadow at the foot of the Sawatch Range in the distance, because we thought it looked pretty, and I was curious about that little notch in the mountains. A sign at the pullout told me that the Continental Divide follows this ridge, and that there are two "Fourteeners" in this image. Mt. Antero tops out at 14,269 feet above sea level just to the left of the notch, while Mt. Princeton hits 14,197 feet to the right.
A second sign offered some unexpected information. Like much of the rest of the country, Colorado has had a very wet year, and everything was an unnatural sort of green. This makes it easy to forget just how precious a resource water is out here, and how fiercely people have fought over it over the last century and a half. But this meadow illustrates the situation well.
Colorado is subject to typical Western water law, which gives rights to water to the first people who used it. Some of these rights trace back generations to the very first settlement, and people pay huge amounts of money to buy old, established rights. If you're a real estate investor, you have to be really careful about buying cheap land in Colorado, because it might not come with water rights.
This meadow was all part of a ranch that established its rights to 1,900 acre-feet -- about 619 million gallons -- per year way back in 1868. But the ranchers sold their rights in 1986 to a company called Western Water Rights, LLP. And in 2008, Western Water Rights, LLP, sold the rights to the city of Pueblo, 85 miles away. So now the ranches are dry, and Pueblo has enough water for a hundred-thousand or so more people.
This kind of horse trading would be common in Colorado, except available water rights are getting harder and harder to find. Some municipal water manager was happy with himself.

July 26, 2019 - I decided my kitchen needed a facelift. This all started because my dishwasher detergent cup no longer locks it broke in late June. The dishwasher was in the house when I purchased it in 1995. It is probably 30 - 35 years old so it was time to replace it. I was just going to replace the dishwasher however the previous owners put a new tile floor in which blocks the dishwasher from being easily replaced. I was never content with my kitchen the only work I have done to it was to replace the original drop-in oven which didn't work when I bought the house and the matching harvest gold exhaust hood was replaced with a white exhaust hood. I painted the walls yellow in 1996. The oven I bought in 1995 died in March 2018 so the oven is only a year old. I also replaced the kitchen faucet last August. I thought about just maintaining the faucet but decided to upgrade to a faucet with a pullout sprayer.
I engaged KitchenSaver to replace the cabinet doors and drawer fronts, countertop and sink. I want the kitchen to look brand new so hired a contractor to strip nearly 100 years worth of paint off the pantry and basement doors, door frames, window, window frame and sill and repaint the woodwork and walls. The contractor will also be installing wood base since the base was removed by a previous owner. I am also installing a Subway tile white backsplash which will go up to the bottom of the wall cabinets and on either side of the window.
I am a retired architect and it was fun getting back into design. I knew exactly what I wanted and took me no time at all to select everything.
I am going with an Arts and Crafts oak cabinet and drawer fronts. The wood stain is nearly a perfect match to the house woodwork and my furniture. Door and drawer pulls are bronze/copper in the Arts and Crafts style.
I also bought new light fixtures for the kitchen and dining room both with a bronze finish. KitchenSaver will be installing five dimmable LED lights below the cabinets and above the sink.
I decided to add a recycling/trash cabinet and pantry cabinet to fill in the dead space between the refrigerator and wall this necessitated the removal of the existing quad outlet that the refrigerator is plugged into. (no outlet behind the refrigerator) In order to do any electrical work in my house I had to bring the existing electrical circuit breaker panel up to current codes. Which meant I needed to replace the existing electrical circuit breaker panel. I had a duplex outlet added behind the refrigerator. With the new circuit breaker panel I now can use the microwave oven and toaster oven at the same time. What a concept! I also replaced the old fashion knob and tube light switch which controls the basement light. The old switch scared me and wasn't safe.
New window treatments for the backdoor and window. I wasn't able to find a blind which matches the Sherwin Williams Indian White SW 1035 paint color so I am going with a Levelor Cordless Cellular blind that is an exact match to the Sherwin Williams Koi Pond SW 7727 wall color.
One last improvement the contractor got paint stripper on the existing oven exhaust hood so I replaced the hood with a new black hood which matches the oven.

Some of the white rocks get that way thanks to plenty of bird guano, but this one looks like actual white rock, possibly marble? Striking contrast against the deep blue of the Pacific.

Text der Gedenktafel:
"Es brach der Bomben Schlag zwar vierundsiebzig Stuffen,
doch unter bänglichen und glaubensvollen Ruffen,
bewahrte Gottes Huld durch seine Gnadenhand,
so Haus, als Volck und Gut, für Einsturz, Tod und Brand,
hat sich denn Gott zu uns so gnädig wollen neigen,
So soll auch unser Danck zu seinem Thron aufsteigen.
Den 19.Juli 1760"
Die Gedenktafel erinnert an die erfolglose Belagerung Dresdens durch die Preußen im Jahr 1760; dabei wurde die Innenstadt von Dresden beschossen und abgebrannt. (Quelle: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dresden )

We stopped at a pullout either in or near Glacier National Park to take some pictures of the scenery when I noticed this large bird (I think hawk or eagle) almost playing in the high winds that we were having. I took a couple of shots, but I really liked this way this one turned out with the bird soaring above the landscape of river, trees, and mountains.
This is one that I definitely think looks better large and on black

The pullout at the top of the big switchback provides an amazing viewpoint. Looking down along Highway 93, just East of the Columbia Icefield. This is one of my favorite spots on the whole Highway. I find the road building through these mountains to be pretty amazing.

Just around the bend from the East Fork pullout at milepost 418 looking east. There's a hint of blooming rhododendron at 5000' the third week of May. This area was devastated by ice storms in the winter of 2010, but the spring greening is helping considerably. See more at Internet Brothers Blue Ridge Parkway Gallery.

Along South Lake Road, Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains, California
Taking a break in a pullout I have used many times over the years on what now had become a mostly cloudy morning. It always amazes me how quickly things change up here in the Sierra (the weather, the flowers, the creek and stream flows as well as the leaves.) There had been zero cloud coverage for the past two days - not one single cloud in the sky. Just yesterday I joked with a Game Warden and asked if he had any influence or connections that could possibly send in some clouds. He just laughed.
Once again, this morning started off with clear skies. As a matter of fact, I was up early this morning and photographing around Twin lakes with a cloudless star filled sky. The first clouds appeared in the southeastern sky a couple hours ago and I was hoping to be able to put them to use. Pretty ornamental clouds. The kind of mid-day clouds that add that special touch to an otherwise boring blue sky. The kind of clouds that make it a lot easier for a landscape photographer to choose to include the sky in their compositions.
Like I said earlier, things change fast up here in the Sierra. For the past couple of hours the pretty ornamental clouds have been on the war-path and have now become what looks like a threatening layer of dark gray cumulus clouds ready to drop some serious rain on all things below.
For me, the current conditions and existing cloud cover proved to be somewhat of a blessing. I was sitting on the cargo bed of my SUV enjoying a cup of coffee - taking a break - slowing down - replenishing the creative juices - pretty much sitting on my butt doing nothing but looking out across the road at this wonderful stand of aspens.
A few minutes prior these trees were in full sun and the entire stand shined brightly. Now, with the sun mostly blocked by dense cloud cover there was a completely different look and feel to this wonderful stand of aspens. The entire scene felt more intimate. Evenly lit, with little pops of light on the tree trunks and a good mix of different colored leaves. The strong graphical lines created by the tree trunks seem to add just the right amount of contrast and additional interest to this image. This was a very enjoyable place to be and the bonus was - these trees are right on the shoulder of the road! It don't get any easier than that.
