Detail of the main building at Woolaroc—a wildlife preserve and museum near Bartlesville, Oklahoma that was originally established in 1925 as a retreat for oilman Frank Phillips.
Looking up from an early part of Stonewall Peak Trail which leads to a 360-degree view from the peak on the left.
This is about the best I could get at Stonewall Falls in Rabun Co. The sun was out, more than in and when it was in it was only very briefly. It made for a tough time exposing the image. I have not fully decided if I like this shot or not, the composition seems a little off, the falls to me is pushed too far to the right side.
I love the doors, it is a photographic subject that I really like, because they give a lot of play and come in all shapes and colors.
But this was different because I had not seen anything like it. It is actually half door, the other half, given the low light was completely dark. I found in a farmhouse inhabited near Ogassa while I was walking looking for autumnal forest.
I suppose that must be the gates from one corral, but because of the total darkness of the interior, I did not dare to make more inquiries, lest came the farmer with a shotgun and with little desire to parley with a stranger who entered in his possessions .
Normally, they are very good people and eager to talk but now, no longer trust anyone. Me neither. Not going to be that they let go of the dogs.
He had always believed that photography was a safe and risk-free activity, but just in case, I left as fast as I could.
No more to say, a door is a door, just caught my attention textures and contrasts.

Me encantan las puertas, es un tema fotográfico que me gusta mucho, pues dan mucho juego y las hay de todas las formas y colores.
Pero esta come aparte, ya que no habÃa visto nada parecido. En realidad es media puerta, la otra mitad, dada la poca luz, estaba completamente en penumbra. La encontré en una masÃa habitada cerca de Ogassa mientras paseaba buscando bosques otoñales.
Supongo que deben ser las puertas de un corral, pero debido a la oscuridad total del interior, no me atrevà a hacer mas averiguaciones, no fuera que saliera el payés con la escopeta y con pocas ganas de parlamentar con un desconocido que entraba en su territorio. Normalmente, son muy buena gente y con ganas de charlar pero actualmente, ya no se fÃan de nadie. Y yo menos. No vaya a ser que me suelten los perros.
Siempre habÃa creÃdo que la fotografÃa era una actividad segura y sin riesgos, pero por si acaso me fui lo más rápido que pude.
No hay más que contar, una puerta es una puerta, solo me llamaron la atención sus texturas y contrastes.
On the way to cooking class I saw this high wall. It made me think of Kaffe Fassett and his amazing fabric designs.
At the Red Door Inn......

With some recent rains and a couple of cloudy days it was time to do some woodland exploring. The first stop over the weekend was the beautiful Stonewall Falls. This is a waterfall I had always heard of but never taken the time to venture back to. These smaller waterfalls with downstream scenic cascades never disappoint, and I was pleasantly surprised by the photo opportunities here. There were some other water features along the creek, but most of those were hit by a good bit of downfall... luckily the primary falls itself is all clear.
I put together a video of the adventure if you would like to see this waterfall along with some other sights & sounds of the creeks in action.

New window in the wall of the addition to the courthouse building. The reflection is of the older section, which was also the county jail.

Unless you want to live like that

Starting in Lavita Colorado we drove up towards Cordova Pass on 12 and pulled over to photograph some of the riders on a downhill section of the Stonewall Century ride. This is a 102 mile ride. I like to test my high speed panning skills with cyclists as they wiz by. I ended up with several keepers but this one may be my best.
For those of you interested in the tech side of this; What makes this difficult is keeping predictive focus trained on his head while panning steadily to match his speed in order to keep him sharp at a slow 1/50 sec shutter speed. This will give you a nice blurred background emphasizing his speed.
