Kee Klamp address the problems of installing a railing in a remote location
I didn't want to make the drive from the Bay Area to Crater Lake in one day, so after reading a bit about Castle Lake and Heart Lake in the Shasta Trinity National Forest, I figured I'd make a stop in the area for a night. As far as driving goes, Castle Lake is relatively remote, yet it was still packed with families and folks from summer camps. Not a bad thing, but it certainly wasn't serene.
I hiked up to Heart Lake, which is a gorgeous little pond tucked above Castle Lake. There too, I encountered a surprising number of people, and an unexpected abundance of Japanese tourists. It was one of the prettier hikes I had done in recent times, and the views of Castle Lake from Heart Lake were wonderful. It's not the greatest vantage point for Castle Lake (you don't need to climb all the way to Heart Lake for that), but I found a quiet boulder and just relaxed with the lake and Mt. Shasta before me.
Wildfires were raging around California and Oregon, so the air was awfully smoky, and Shasta was just barely visible, sadly. Just another reason to head up there again sometime.
Cheers.

Montblanc Elizabeth I writing instrument seriously tempted my pocket book. MAC nixed the purchase.
Limited Edition 4810 and Limited Edition 888
Montblanc's Patron of Art Edition has annually honoured a legendary benefactor of the arts and culture since this special writing instrument line was originally conceived in 1992. This year’s edition is dedicated to an all time great cultural force - Elizabeth I. Regarded the most successful monarch to ever ascend an English throne, under Elizabeth's astute and skillful rule, England "came of age" and, witnessing groundbreaking achievements, was transformed from a "remote backwater" to a globally dominant imperial power. Great battles were won. The New World - or the "Americas" - was discovered and the English Renaissance reached its zenith because of Elizabeth's artistic patronage.

Patron of Art Edition Elizabeth I - Limited Edition 4810
The "best educated woman of her generation..." Elizabeth was "passionately" interested in the arts and her "luminous" court stimulated some of the greatest artistic achievements of all time. William Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe flourished during her reign as did the poet Edmund Spenser, the painter Nicholas Hillyard and the English composers William Byrd, John Dowland and Thomas Tallis.
Elizabeth I was also a gifted writer and the 2010 Montblanc Patron of Art Edition is therefore composed of two writing instruments conceived with sumptuously striking and clever adornments celebrating her intellect and inimitable regal flair. Patron of Art Edition Elizabeth I, limited to 4810 pieces and limited to 888 pieces, will debut in April 2010 and May 2010, respectively. And, as their presentation has always been associated with the Montblanc de la Culture Arts Patronage Award - which annually celebrates contemporary arts and cultural patrons - the Patron of Art Edition continues a story linking a historical figure with future talent.
Elizabeth I - A Legend in her Own Lifetime
Centuries after her death, Elizabeth I (1533 - 1603), is still considered as one of England's "most popular and influential rulers". She was born at Greenwich Palace on 7 September 1533 to Anne Boleyn, the second wife of Henry VIII, although her arrival was greeted with "surprise and displeasure", by the Court. The "failure" to produce a son for King Henry jeopardized Queen Anne’s life due to her husband's obsession with conceiving a male heir. Charged with adultery, she was beheaded in May 1536.
A retinue of governesses raised the young princess Elizabeth and though she was shunned by her father, Catherine Parr, the "remarkable" sixth and last wife of Henry VIII, oversaw the education which groomed the future queen for greatness and the Patron of Art Edition Elizabeth I will celebrate their special bond. Under the Cambridge scholar Roger Ascham, Elizabeth studied the classics, read history and theology and became fluent in six languages - Greek, Latin, French, Italian, Spanish and German. Her love of music and, skill as a musician, developed from the 60 instrumentalists who resided at Hatfield House, her childhood residence. From age 11, she composed prayers and poems and, when jailed for suspected treason against Mary I, her cousin in 1554, she etched onto a glass prison window a two-line verse with a diamond.
Upon ascending the throne on 15 January 1559, Elizabeth's writing focussed on government matters. She wrote powerful speeches, such as that which she delivered at Tilbury in Essex where English troops had gathered to prepare for Spanish invasion in 1588. Brandishing a silver breastplate over a flowing white velvet gown she arrived on horseback demonstrating the "courage and leadership the English expected" of a monarch - but had never been displayed by a female - and declared to the troops: “I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman but I have the heart and stomach of a king and of a King of England, too".
Nine days later, the defeat of the Spanish Armada proved England's "finest hour". Elizabeth's popularity reached a level no "English woman had enjoyed as a public figure" and she attained supreme power comparable to a "biblical and mythological figure". Her grand mode of dress overawed her subjects while the flourishing of her Renaissance court stimulated new literary, artistic and musical achievements. "Theatres thrived", and, as Shakespeare elevated the English language to its highest level of development, England’s literacy rate soared. Elizabeth attended the debut of Shakespeare's romantic comedy A Midsummer Night's Dream. Numerous works were dedicated to her including poet Edmund Spenser's masterpiece The Fairie Queen. Composers William Byrd, John Dowland and Thomas Tallis also toiled at her court.
The discoveries of adventurers Sir Francis Drake, who circumnavigated the world in 1580, Walter Raleigh's exploration of eastern Venezuela in 1594 and Humphrey Gilbert’s conquering of Newfoundland for the English throne in 1583, spearheaded a new age expansion by the end of Elizabeth's reign. Upon her passing on 24 March 1604, the pioneering monarch, it is said, "departed this life mildly like a lamb, easily like a ripe apple from the tree".
The Limited Edition Celebrating the Elizabethan Age
Patron of Art Edition Elizabeth I. 4810
The design and adornments of the Patron of Art Edition Elizabeth I 4810 reflects the life, reign and heraldic regalia of Elizabeth I. Hand engraved on the 18 K gold nib is a bejewelled gold crown which she brandished ascending the throne in 1559. Lacquer barrel and cap signify the spots which appear on an ermine cape, part of the traditional coronation attire which Elizabeth also flaunted. While an ivory coloured Montblanc emblem tops the cap, the clip descends from gold plated Tudor Rose. This "double rose" motif became England’s floral emblem after Henry VII, Elizabeth's grandfather, commandeered it as the symbol of the Tudor Dynasty upon taking the crown from Richard IIII in 1485. The green cabochon embellishing the gold-plated cross upon the clip also reflects the bejewelled cross upon Elizabeth's crown.
Encircling the gold plate band adorning the cap - as well as the cone - is an elegant interlaced pattern inspired by the pretty needlework sleeve Elizabeth conceived for a prayer book she created especially for her stepmother, Catherine Parr, as a New Year's gift in 1544. Entitled The Mirror of the Sinful Soul, it was Lady Elizabeth's own English translation of the French verse originally composed by Queen Margaret of Navarre. A friend of Anne Boleyn, the French Queen gave the original manuscript to her and the religious poem was also a favourite of Catherine Parr’s. Today, Elizabeth I’s handmade book is owned by the University of Oxford's Bodleian Library. Etched by gold plated cap ring is "Video et Taceo" - or "I see and I keep silent". This maxim of Elizabeth I signified her moderate political views and cautious approach to foreign affairs.

This 750 solid gold fountain pen features a barrel and cap in precious lacquer. Hand engraved on its 18 K gold nib is a bejewelled gold crown in which Elizabeth I ascended the throne in 1559. Topping the cap is the Montblanc emblem rendered in shimmering mother-of-pearl. The clip descends from a solid gold Tudor Rose while its embellishment - a princess cut green garnet - reflects the bejewelled crown. The intricate interlaced motif, derived from the needlework cover of The Mirror of the Sinful Soul, beautifies the solid gold cap and barrel. Elizabeth I's "Video et Taceo" maxim is embossed upon the cap ring.
Montblanc de la Culture Arts Patronage Award
Celebrating Past and Present
The Montblanc de la Culture Arts Patronage Award is presented in 11 countries and represents an exemplary bond forged between past and present and, since its inception in 1992, this merit has been directly linked with the Patron of the Art Edition. The prize, therefore, combines a tribute to an historic patron of the arts while acknowledging a contemporary one. By recognizing the importance of private patronage, the award conveys to the public its crucial role in fostering the arts and culture.
Each recipient of the Montblanc de la Culture Arts Patronage Award is chosen by an international jury of artists and receives financial support of € 15.000 in each country for a cultural project of their own choice. Montblanc also presents the honoree and the jury members with the precious Patron of Art Edition. Sought after by collectors around the world, Montblanc's Patron of Art Edition are writing instruments that will last a lifetime. And like every Montblanc writing instrument, these exceptionally handcrafted fountain pens have been created with the highest demand of craftsmanship that has made Montblanc the benchmark for writing culture.
Prized by connoisseurs and avid collectors, the Montblanc Patron of the Art Edition is a commemorative keepsake meant to be passed down through generations. Manufacturing tools, specially developed for the making of every Montblanc Limited Edition, are destroyed at the end of each production run. As a consequence, these intricately handcrafted pens are collector’s items. Limited Editions produced between 1992 and 2000, for example, have sold at auction for sums greatly exceeding their original retail price, ranging from (US) $ 2,200 to (US) $35,000. And nine years after its 1992 debut, Montblanc Patron of the Art Lorenzo de Medici sold at Christie’s in New York for more than six times its initial cost of (US) $1292.00, ultimately fetching (US) $8225.00.

Sooo... I just finished working on a little electronics project to trigger Nikon cameras over its Infrared remote sequence. This board is designed to act as a programmable intervalometer, plain ol' manual remote, computer controlled remote, and access to an easily modifiable program with the ability to upload code over the serial port into usb. Whoa. That was a long sentence. Sorry.
Should I start maybe selling a kit for these? My dad said people might want these. I don't know... It would be good for learning soldering, but I really don't know if I can sell stuff... The prototype was about 25 dollars as I recall, but if I made more, they would be a lot cheaper. Especially for the board. The FTDI usb cable is another twenty. Would anybody want one? It might be possible to sell. EDIT: Well, there's 225 views which is much higher than most of my photos, and no comments, so I guess not. That's okay. Less work for me... (But you just wait to see what I do with it in the future.)
I'm gonna make a little web page for it, for access to code, board designs, etc, and I'll edit this little description soon. EDIT: Seriously... When I get the motivation. 'NOTHER EDIT: I made the little hacked together write-up: etharooni.polorix.net/NikonRemote.html
Well... That made it seem like it was a much bigger deal than it is. It's really not an amazing board, but as this is a photography community, some people might want one.

I got up early today (Wednesday 9/26) and went out on the beach at the north end of Pea Island just below the bridge. If you walk out a ways there is a jetty with a remote automated weather station on it.
I got these out there just before the sun came up.
Another one that looks like HDR, but the light was just right to capture it as a single image.

Maybe Kate Bush is right? www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-28854330
As someone who has been known to take the odd shot at a gig, I'm in two minds as to whether Kate Bush was right to ask fans not to take photos at her upcoming gigs.
Every single one of Ed Sheerans fans has their eyes locked on their phone here and he's standing right in front of them. A happy medium would be great but all it takes is for one person to ruin it for everyone.
My homemade wired remote I made for my Rebel XTi. It's made entirely out of parts from Radio Shack and is MUCH cheaper than Canon's wired remote.
Project box $2.29
Switch $2.99
2x button = $4.58
Cable $5.49
Not shown: Right-Angle 3/32" Stereo Headset Plug, cat no. 274-298, $2.79
Wire + Solder = negligible cost.
Total = $18.14 if you have all the necessary tools (drill with 1/2" and 3/4" bits, soldering iron, screwdriver, needle-nose pliers may be needed for wire manipulation)
In contrast: Canon Remote Switch RS-60E3 = $30.00
On a remote outpost in Svalbard lies an abandoned Soviet mining town called Pyramiden. Occupied from 1927 - 1998, the town once had over 1,000 residents. Swimming pools, offices, schools, dining halls lay relatively intact filled with incredibly interesting artifacts - propaganda posters, film reels, children's drawings, briefcases, etc. Seems as though people left in a hurry.

This shot was taken while on a 2km walk to the brushbox falls at Sheepstation Creek in the Border Ranges National Park in NSW. Its a really pretty walk through the rainforest and palm trees beside this little creek that cascades over the rocks.
For this particular shot I was taking a pano while my friends were on the path and I thought rather than ask them to move I i'd ask them to hold still for 2 seconds and include them into the shot. I think it gives a good scale to the place and gives it a human element.
This small remote church in the wilds of Wales is an absolute delight! It is a very special place and is steeped in history and legend. Parts of the church date to the 12th century but the apse, rebuilt on the original foundations, was only completed in 1990. The church contains what is regarded as being the earliest surviving Romanesque shrine in Britain, dating to the early 12th century. It was destroyed after the Reformation but the stones, bearing a mixture of Celtic and Romanesque style carving, were built into the walls and lychgate. Last century, these were collected and the shrine reconstructed in the chancel. Bones, said to be those of St. Melangell, were discovered in the apse area and placed within the shrine. St. Melangell was a 7th century daughter of an Irish King, who established a hermitage in the area. According to legend, a Prince of Powys was hunting down a hare which took refuge in the folds of her dress. His dogs refused to continue the pursuit and the Prince was so impressed with the beauty and devotion of Melangell that he donated land to her for the establishment of an Abbey. Apart from the remarkable shrine, the church also contains a well-preserved 15th century oak rood screen which bears carvings representing the story of Melangell and, at the north end, a fine Green Man. It is easy to understand how this church, although not having a resident congregation, is still a place of pilgrimage for so many people from far afield.
This is very remote, and not for the faint-hearted without proper maps, or GPS, Sat phone, and remote gear.
We had thought if a World War started, we would not know, but when we got back to Civilisation, where we saw 9/11 on TV and a newspaper...
We drove from Kalpowar out to Cape Melville and camped for a couple of nights. The next day, we followed the beach to the cape from the campsite, www.flickr.com/photos/spelio/4539199295/
and then walked around looking for the graves of the 100s of pearl divers. The pearling fleet was destroyed along with 300 fishermen..
There were a few crosses to the white sailors who perished, but not much to remind us of the native fisherman who perished..
It was one of Australia's greatest natural disasters in terms of lives lost..
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_disasters_in_Australia_by_d...
see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahina_Cyclone_of_1899
Within an hour, the pearling fleet (at anchor) was either driven onto the shore or onto the Great Barrier Reef. Only 4 sailors survived and over 307 were killed. Just before the eye of the cyclone passed overland to the north a storm surge, variously reported as either 13 metres or 48 feet (14.6 meters) high, swept inland for about 5 kilometers, destroying anything that was left of the Bathurst Bay pearling fleet along with the settlement.
We had a great couple of relaxing days here, but it is a day long drive in high and low range 4WD with lots of sand. Fortunately the muddy clay pans were only damp, but there were a couple of abandoned cars in the mud, with snatch straps still attached!
I have all this trip mainly on video and C41 prints.
We arrived back to the camp and our trailers at Kalpowar on 9/11, 11-09-01, in Australia, to hear of the disaster in New York..
We could hear some of the news on the radio, and next morning watched in horror as it was replayed on TV in the Laura General Store.
