View of a cleared dirt area on a rise, looking out over part of Camp Lejeune, N.C., and the water and shoreline in the distance, sometime during the Vietnam War-era [circa 1964].

I'm trying to get rid of this. If you are interested flickr mail me and we can work something out.
I'm looking for about $175.
Also have my D60 for sale so I can upgrade to a D200.
This is a grand place, that photographs do not entirely do justice to. Well not mine anyway! The photo is taken looking east across the Ngozumpa Glacier, to the equally stone covered Gyubanar Glacier. Not very pretty as glacial scenery goes, and somewhat reminiscent of a Great War battlefield! The first two peaks on the right are the Kangchung Peaks and the third peak is Nirekha Peak. Everest and Lhotse/Nuptse dominate the distant view, with the South Coll showing clearly between them.
From Rangitoto Island with the lava rocks in foreground. Rangitoto is a volcanic island to the east of Auckland City and the North Shore. Its a forest reserve with a Pohutukawa forest growing direclty from the scrumbly lava. Whilst sleeping, it is not extinct. Visitors take a Fullers Ferry and can either walk to the summit or take a Volcanic Explorer Tour which is good value.
I arrived in Yosemite during stormy weather and it continued through the next morning. I woke up the first morning and looked outside and decided to just sleep in. The storm passed and by the second morning the storm was gone. I looked outside and saw clear skies so I didn't think there would much of a sunrise, but it was my last day in Yosemite so I had to get out and see the park at sunrise. The conditions didn't seem promising so I wasn't in a rush to get to any specific spot and I got in the car about 10 minutes before sunrise. As I was driving near El Capitan, my girlfriend looked out the back window towards the sun and said, "The sky is turning pink!" That got me excited and luckily Valley View was only minutes away. I parked, grabbed my camera and tripod as fast as I could and just starting exposing. There wasn't any time to find some interesting foreground element, and I'm glad I didn't look for one because the color started to fade quickly, less than a minute after I got there. This isn't the ultimate Valley View photograph but it was my first trip to Yosemite and I'm happy just to have witnessed this in person.
The funny thing is that I wasn't planning on shooting at Valley View during this trip. I checked it out the day before and I figured there were so few parking spots that I wouldn't find parking and I'd miss the sunrise. When I shot this one, there was only two other people there. Also, when I checked it out the day before, I didn't even like this spot. The water level was so high that there were no foreground elements except for a few rocks here and there that I thought would surely be taken by some photographer that got there earlier than me. This image ended up being my favorite out of the whole trip.
Ever since I got into photography and saw Ansel Adams' work, I've always wanted to come to Yosemite. Over the years I feel like I've been building up all this anticipation, to the point of thinking a trip to Yosemite might be some kind of spiritual and potentially life changing experience. From all the pictures I've seen and films I've watched about Yosemite, it gives it this grand, majestic, awe-inspiring feel. Part of me was fearing that I had built this place up so much that I would be disappointed when I got there. I have to say, it wasn't exactly how I built it up to be. But that wasn't a bad thing. Yes, the views are breathtaking and the towering granite cliffs are awe-inspiring but what I felt most in Yosemite was how peaceful it was. Maybe it was due to the fact that it was a break from a difficult semester of school, a change from the hectic city life, or the fact that I visited during the park's off season, but that was the strongest feeling I got from being there.
View from my hotel room in Yunding Ski Resort, Chongli. Due north of Beijing, approximately three hours drive Yunding is by far the best ski field in China to date.
