Road to…I'm not really sure...

Actually the camera shows more that what was really visible...it's been like this in Frostburg since I got here...

Shadow Art [stilts]

OK here is one silly pict...having just received some shadow art from a friend I just had to reciprocate :-) 

Sandia

It rained all week here in Albuquerque...whoda thunk you'd need to BYOA (bring your own ark)? Up on Sandia peak all that rain came down as snow. You can sort of see it in this picture, along with a token balloon.

Panoramas

These were taken with Photosynth and cropped. I will probably put the originals on the pano site. Here is the link.

Mass Ascension Progression

These pictures were taken over a two [cold] hour period. Went from just a few to quite a few.

It's on fire!!!

Well, no not really….just an artifact of HDR processing.

there be aliens in Albuquerque...

count the black dots :-)

If you look close you'll see lots of em :-)

Heidelberg

Successfully made it to Germany and settled in with my relatives. Visited Heidelberg castle today. Nice weather if a tad hot. Took some panoramic photos with photosynth. Enjoy :-)





This is looking from Heidelberg castle towards Heidelberg. Kind of hard to see the town, but you can see the weather was nice :-)






Abusing the panorama application...a section of Heidelberg castle.




Here a piece of a tower just fell off...

Some pictures from Yuma, AZ

Imperial Dunes in Southeastern CA. The southern part is difficult to get to without an ATV...so only one picture worthy of the blog...

Just some mountains east of the Imperial Dunes...my token autostitch photo :-)

The "Center of the World" in Felicity,CA. As recognized by Imperial County CA and the country of France. France? Center of the World? Really? A line from Field of Dreams comes to mind...If you build it they will come... And yes I know it's really "he" not "they"...

It's 10 minutes fast....it could be easily fixed....wouldn't take that much effort...

We already were getting the evil eye for not paying $3 to see the "Center of the World" so not sure if they would have understood the benefit of fixing their clock :-)

Look! It's a tree...

And finally, no this is not a Stairway to Heaven...but apparently a piece of stairway from the Eiffel tower....

Dayton Air Force museum

Cathedral Caverns take two

Went to Cathedral Caverns today for the second time. Still a very cool place. Only had the iphone 4 with me, so that's what you see below. First image is autostitched, the rest are raw HDR images without any post-processing. Not bad for a cell phone camera :-)
