Star Trail at holy land
Uncanningly, in this image, I had unfold the unseen to be seen, simplify some common as uncommon. Relocating my creativeness a week ago with beautiful cloudless night embark at Kong Meng San Monastery.
Un-doubtly, our hyper-eye misses so much truth due to over-exhausted-mind keeping momentum pacing the cooperate ladder which eventually tearing apart one's negligence appreciating true beauty from all common ground.
With all effort, we self-create illusion with tons of dream pursuing after what we wish n what we had miss.....our final destination refuse to clam down unlike a new born who one-heartedly, with no complication n confusion state inherit true beauty connection with our Mother Nature .
So far, the universal did not forsake us. but we had somehow forget the universe.
What have we done? Did we achieve what we really desire .
Once more, may you find meaning n peace visioning my photostream and justify beauty for your loss conscious. Recognize us. appreciate what we contribute here at flickr.

My favorite Central Florida trail, a path which travels from pasturelands east of Orlando into the Econlockhatchee River floodplain, eventually following the river for several miles towards its confluence with the larger St. Johns.

I shot this image on Friday night, from my balcony. I have wanted to shoot this for quite some time but II never found the right night to shoot it. Last Friday night the sky was very clear so I decided to set up the camera and let it do its thing.
My balcony faces south, so finding the South Celestial Pole is not hard. This image is created from 512 x 15 second images captured one after the other. Yep, it took a little while to shoot! 😀 These images are then stacked in post processing and what you end up capturing is 7680 seconds, or 128 minutes of time, neatly stacked in one image. The rotation is in fact the earths rotation.
The red streaks are aircraft, following the designated flight paths down to Melbourne or Adelaide. I could remove these but they add a point of interest. If you turn your phone sideways or look on your computer full screen, you will see a faint, straight line just under the South Celestial Pole. I think this may have been Starlink travelling across the night sky, but I haven't checked if this is the case or not.
A week away to shoot some of the Atlantik wall in France with my friend Paul. After a lot of driving and minimal sleep we got to our first location. I used the drone to light the foreground, Mist kept rolling in and out of the dunes but luckily it didn't ruin my 10 minute exposure.

Car light trails on M50 facing North bound at blue hour. Photo taken from Sandyford Road Bridge.Dublin, Ireland. Photo was taken during Friday evening rush. Unfortunately, the traffic in the left lanes heading northbound was very slow moving. The blue light was a police car. It was a dull overcast evening but there was fabulous bright light in the sky where the sun had set. If I had waited until the traffic was more free moving this light in the sky would have disappeared.
It was the first time I used my Manfrotto 190 Tripod for long exposure car light trails. The sides of the bridge here are quite high. With four leg sections the Manfrotto was able to lift my camera high enough to get good shots.

My first ever attempt at a star trail picture. Approx 100 shots stitched together using StarStax (Mac). I used Trigger Trap on the iPhone to connect to the Canon 5D MkII and Tokina 16-28 /F2.8. Shot wide open to get as much light as possible.

I love walking these trails when the trilliums are in bloom. It happens every year in spring. (it was early may this year) I often find them in large patches, but in this particular area, they always seem to take over the forest floor. After doing a little reading, I wonder if it's because there's lots of ants in this area.
"Large-flowered trillium has a fascinating seed dispersal mechanism - its seeds are dispersed by ants through a process called myrmecochory. Attached to the outside of the seeds is a fleshy structure called an elaiosome. The elaiosome is rich in oils and proteins. Ants carry the seed to their nest and feed the elaiosome to their larvae. The remaining seed is discarded in the ant's nutrient-rich waste pile. This symbiotic relationship benefits the ant, which gets a food source, and benefits the plant because the seed is dispersed, is protected from rodents, and is placed in a nutrient rich area in the ants nest where the seed has a greater likelihood of growing."
Trailing the herd while rounding up cattle near Cleveland, Montana.
===========================================
They moved often then,
From warm winter grounds by the river's mouth;
Where mothers gave birth,
On rocky hillsides facing the sunny south.
Up steep trails, they moved,
Over low saddles bathed in late spring showers;
Through canyons with pine,
To mountain meadows with purple flowers.
By green ponds, they moved,
Past huckleberries on the summit high;
Down old Indian trails,
Across barren land with an endless sky.
Through dry hills, they moved,
Down dusty lanes under hot August sun;
To pasture with room,
For mother cows to rest and calves to run.
Behind fences, they moved,
There they fatten with ample time to graze;
No more winter grounds,
It is modern times with different ways.
They moved often then,
Past sumac gullies and high mountain streams;
Before trailing the herd,
Became part of our memories and dreams.

Woody is usually out in front but every now and then, when the snow gets deep, he takes a break and walks in the snowshoe tracks.
Flathead National Forest, Montana.
On this site in 1895, Western scout and showman William F. ("Buffalo Bill") Cody laid out the original townsite of Cody, Wyoming, which was named in his honor. Today Old Trail Town preserves the lifestyle and history of the Frontier West through a rare collection of authentic structures and furnishings. From remote locations in Wyoming and Montana these historic buildings were carefully disassembled, moved and reassembled here at Old Trail Town by Western historian Bob Edgar and friends.
The buildings date from 1879 to 1901 and represent the history of Northwestern Wyoming. Included in the collection are original cabins used by Old West outlaws Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid; a Wyoming saloon frequented by Cassidy's "Hole-in-the-Wall Gang", as well as the the log cabin home of "Curley" a Crow Indian army scout who helped guide Lt Col. George A. Custer and the U.S. 7th Cavalry to the battle of the Little Big Horn in 1876. Currently the collection includes 26 historic buildings, a graveyard and many wagons and other artifacts. Old Trail Town exists today as a memorial to the uniquely American experience known throughout the world as "the Old West".

The Apache Trail in Arizona was a stagecoach trail that ran through the Superstition Mountains. It was named the Apache Trail after the Apache Indians who originally used this trail to move through the Superstition Mountains.
The current Apache Trail links Apache Junction (33.4152°N 111.5807°W) at the edge of the Greater Phoenix area with Theodore Roosevelt Lake (33.6725°N 111.1531°W), through the Superstition Mountains and the Tonto National Forest.
Today, the majority of Apache Trail remains unpaved, turning into a dirt road a few miles up from Tortilla Flat, and continuing as such for nearly the full remainder of its length. The section east of Apache Junction is known officially as State Route 88. It is also the main traffic corridor through Apache Junction, turning into Main Street as the road passes into Mesa, and regains the Apache name by becoming Apache Boulevard in Tempe, ending at Mill Avenue. Prior to the completion of the Superstition Freeway in 1992, the Apache Junction portion of the Apache Trail was part of US Highway 60, which was rerouted to the Superstition Freeway once it was completed.
The Trail winds steeply through 40 miles (64 km) of rugged desert mountains, past deep reservoir lakes like Canyon Lake and Apache Lake. The narrow, winding road is unpaved from just east of the town of Tortilla Flat to Roosevelt Dam; there are steep cliff drops and little in the way of safety barriers. The trail requires caution when driving and it is not recommended for large RVs, SUVs, or caravans. Some large RV rental companies in the US do not allow their vehicles to be taken on this route.

Die Apache Trail Historic Road, auch AZ 88 genannt, östlich von Phoenix rühmt sich großer historischer, kultureller und landschaftlicher Bedeutung. Sie führt über 116 Kilometer von Apache Junction nach Globe-Miami, wo sich die 63 Kilometer lange Gila-Pinal Scenic Road direkt anschließt, die zurück nach Phoenix führt.
Zwischen Apache Junction und dem Tonto National Monument gehört der Apache Trail zu den landschaftlich reizvollsten Routen in den USA. Die abenteuerliche Fahrt ist ein unvergessliches Western-Erlebnis. Theodore Roosevelt sagte bei der Einweihung des nach ihm benannten Staudamms sinngemäß: „Im Apache Trail treffen das Großartige der Alpen, die Pracht der Rocky Mountains und die Herrlichkeit des Grand Canyons zusammen.“
Der Apache Trail folgt einem alten Pfad der Apachen durch die Felsschluchten des Salt River, führt jedoch an der Canyon-Seite höher hinauf, weil der Canyon jetzt teilweise in den Fluten des Salt Rivers und den sich anschließend bildenden Seen ertrunken ist. Kurz nach 1900 wurde er als Versorgungsstraße für den Bau des Theodore-Roosevelt-Damms angelegt. Heute führt er an einer Reihe attraktiver State Parks und kleiner Orte entlang und gewährt Zugang zu den schönen Superstition Mountains.

I'm still not getting out much, but plans are forming for later in the year! In the meantime, as a change from the blue tits, here's one of my old friends dropping by. Briefly. Quick sniff.. "No nuts? I'm off". Still, great to see her around.
After "having found the optimal conditions" for my backyard star trails (ISO100 for 2min), I saw some very nice star trail photos seen on Flickr having quite the opposite settings. I also found that 2-minute exposures tend to give not insignificant annoying pixel noises on later exposures. So I started to test out incrementally higher ISO's and shorter exposures. Somewhere I read that exposure ought to be below 70s to minimize noise. I am sure it varies depending on the camera type, but so far I found it to be generally true for my XTi. Last couple nights, the sky has been very clear with moon setting reasonably early. I was hoping to get exposures as long as a single fully charged battery can afford (currently without a battery pack, my new battery max out at ~140 minutes). To my great disappointment, for the last two nights, the last ~1/3 of my photos were smeared with fog. Last night, I went out at ~1:30am to retrieve my camera. Only to discover with surprise that the night sky was perfectly clear, and it was only my camera lens surface covered with fog. As a result, 45 out of 105 exposure was lost! However, even with the remaining 60 (4200s total - I had to set the timer at 71s in order to get 70s per image), I was able to stitch together a new conclusion that high ISO did produce a more pleasing result (although I am still too afraid to try ISO800). Yes it does capture more sky glows, but the star trails are also brighter and more numerous. Without mentioning too much the downside of late night photo sessions (such as having to wake in the middle of the sleep to retrieve my camera so it won't get soaked with condensation by the morning), I do want to bring up the brighter side: I have met the entire raccoon family living in my backyard while setting up my camera, and they show up at about the same time every night :)
Tech notes: f/4.0; ISO400; 60 shots at 70s each; first quarter moon.

The Deer come in and finally seem relaxed after a couple of weeks since I moved my trail cam out into plain sight. At first they were very aware of a change to their watering hole environment, (location of my Trail Cam). It was funny watching them tip toe around stomping and glaring at the camera. Especially the young ones where it took them a half hour (two steps forward, one step backward) to gain trust to get a drink.
All is well for now, except for a curious bear that wanders in almost every night.
