Afternoon Oasis

Here is another look at "Dripping Springs Falls".  Quiet, peaceful, timeless.

The Milky Way--The Summer Solstice

Here is another shot of the Milky Way from my Colorado trip.  This was taken just after midnight, one day before the summer solstice.  The exposure is a little long since I was doing star trails, but I like the shot anyway.     

Colorado

I'm back from Colorado after a great time and productive workflow.  I did not see firsthand any of the devastation from the wildfires that have already claimed over 15,500 acres of pristine forest, and cost hundreds of people their homes.  Such a beautiful state to be burning.

My time was spent eating and drinking with friends, trying to shoot without dropping my entire camera, lens and tripod into the rapids of the Roaring Fork River, and making endless attempts at capturing the beauty of the night sky.  I came back with some great shots--two of them will be going into a new law office in Basalt--but more importantly, I returned with priceless memories and a renewed appreciation for the amazing planet we live on.
