I spent all last week in Portland at Drupalcon (tech conference). But we did manage to get away for a couple of hours to see the Japanese garden. Here is he first of many photos I took there.
Some grasses at Mack Lake in the Little Lakes Valley in Eastern Sierra. And some clouds, too. And rock, of course. Lots of rock. And trees.
We hiked through Panther Meadows on our way to the little summit of Gray Butte at Mt. Shasta. In person, it was interestingly beautiful on account of these strange little pines. In digital, it is rather more strangely beautiful in terms of the color. This was the first time I actually found myself in the mountains with a polarizing filter on the camera. It seems to have done things to the color that I was not expecting and can’t seem to control well. This was especially so in the meadow here, for some reason. Nonetheless, I found these shots interesting.
Soon after arriving at the vacation house, we were settled in and ready to go explore and figure out where we were. We headed out on foot, going south along the gravel road until it came to a gate and paved road. Just beyond a stand of pines to the east, a house stood, with debris and equipment, including a backhoe, strewn around. We passed through the gate and took a right, walking up a gentle slope away from the house. A couple hundred feet in, we came to gravesite. We huddled to confer. We decided to turn around; we were getting hungry, anyway. The girls led the way back. Mt Shasta stood guard in the distance.
Experimenting with different processing approaches on a batch of photographs taken during the Sunday’s annular eclipse.
