I shot this on a trail atop of White Mountain, Ca. at an altitutde of over 10,000ft. These ancient trees date back over 4,000 years, and the sky was beautiful that day.

Explore #8. Thanks!
These portraits I did for an exhibition, we are raising funds for an Elders center in my area. Here, things are hard for elders, no retirement fees for anyone, so when they have no families they have to live on charity :(
No flash, only natural light. Thanks Pete and Claudio for the tips!!
A sunny Saturday, leisure time on the pool. I am just not interested in hanging on the beach or a pool for long time without some activity so I took my camera with me.
The ball was moving slowly around the pool, moved by water circulating through filters and I was trying to capture entire scene in the moment when the ball would make the best composition in relation to the crocs and the edge of the pool.

Now just a roofless shell after a fire a few years ago, but it appears to have new windows for some reason.
The trace is closing on the 5th wanted to share a last post of it.
Until next time i hope.
All the best to you Kylie! ❤
This is the one place I most wanted to visit on our Southwest trip and the extra special part of it was that I got there on my birthday! It seemed a grueling hike in but much less so on the way out. Hauntingly beautiful and spiritual, this place will stay with me always.
Elva si trova in una posizione molto isolata, lontana dalle principali vie di comunicazione della valle Maira. Le prime testimonianze dell'esistenza di un nucleo abitativo in zona si fanno risalire ai tempi dei romani: è stata ritrovata in zona una lapide romana, attualmente murata e inglobata nella facciata della chiesa parrocchiale.
Il termine Elva si riferisce forse alla "Gens Helva"; un'altra ipotesi si rifà al nome delle tribù dei "Galli Helvi" stanziati sulle prealpi della Provenza.
L'attività che ha caratterizzato nel tempo Elva è stata quella dei "Caviè", ovvero delle persone che raccoglievano e facevano commercio dei capelli.
I capelli delle donne di campagna venivano comprati e trasformati in richiestissime parrucche alla corte francese o inglese.
Elva is placed far from the principal communication ways of Maira valley, in a very lonely place. The first traces of its existence are of Roman memory: it was found in Elva a Roman stone, now a part of the parish church facade.
The word "Elva" is perhaps referred to the "Gens Helva" (Helva people); another possible origin is from "Galli Helvi", a tribe of Gauls who dwelled in the pre-Alps of Provence.
The activity that caracterised Elva was the one of "Caviè", people who collected and sell hair.
Country women's hair was bought and turned into expensive wigs for the French or English Court.
