As we approach the settlement of Keylong, looking back at where we came from. The thin horizontal lines on the mountain are parts of the road we just came from!
The entry in to Ladakh, this is the Manali-Leh highway.
One of the highest and most rugged highways in the world, the journey on the Manali - Leh highway is one that leaves the traveller gasping for breath on all accounts...dream like landscapes taking your breath away at almost every turn and sheer breathlessness from the lack of oxygen as you cross some of the highest roads and mountain passes in the world.
It connects the Manali valley to Kullu valley, Lahaul and Spiti and Ladakh and is open only between June and mid-September when snow is cleared from the road. Prominent passes that one crosses include Rohtang La (3,978m), Baralacha La (5,045m), Lachulung La (5,059m) and Tanglang La (5,325m). Between Lachlung La and Taglang La the road crosses the More plains, a vast desert like expanse at an altitude in excess of 4,500mts.
The journey along the road normally takes two days and many travellers make overnight stops at Jispa and tented camps such as Sarchu. Alternately, overnight stops can be made at Keylong. Owing to the high altitudes and the low-oxygen air, many travelers experience breathlessness, headaches and nausea or in some cases even acute mountain sickness.
The highway was designed, built, constructed and is maintained in its entirety by the Indian Army and is capable of supporting the heaviest of their vehicles. This journey is often referred to as the ultimate challenge for riding and off-roading enthusiansts and attracts bikers from all over the world.

Elitch Gardens, Denver's downtown amusement park, stuck right between Speer Boulevard, the South Platt river, and the BNSF and UP railroads' Joint Line... literally a stone's throw from Sports Authority Stadium at Mile-High, and even closer to The Can (the Pepsi Center Sports Arena) ...
Not a 'real' secret... Any serious photog in the Denver Metro area has figured this one out... And if you are one and don't know, well then here you go... I reveal a little secret in the note I put on this image... :)
11am.. Sunrise in Reykjavik is very long, and begins around 10:45 at this time of year. This gave me plenty of time to take advantage of the dawn skies

I take EDM (Electron Displacement Machine) drops weld them together forming two city blocks. The block is about 18 inches long, 7 inches tall, and 4 inches deep. But weigh around 20 pounds. I always say they need a train to go around them.
