Falling Down Slow

The Swayzey Hotel, served many uses during Bodie’s short life as a boomtown. As well as being an inn, the building was used as a casino and a clothing store.
Probably the most photographed building in Bodie because of its lean.

That’s what the chalkboard menu hanging askew on the back wall was telling the customers. Seems like everything in the mess hall is slightly askew.

Winter Storm's Arrival, Sangre de Cristo Mountains by rwbaldwin

Winter Storm's Arrival, Sangre de Cristo Mountains

Wet Mountain Valley, Colorado.
After a snowy nighttime drive from Denver, I arrived in the Wet Mountain Valley in complete darkness, wondering if there would be any light come sunrise. The snow began to let up just in time for blue hour, and the scene of the majestic Sangre de Cristos was just stunning. All morning it was pick and choose from numerous compositions as the light changed luminosity along the mountain front. The forecast called for more snow, and within a couple of hours of sunrise, storm clouds started to gather just behind the mountains. It was so exciting as I was realizing the this was the best shoot that I had had here. The past few years had only provided hints of what could be, and now this was it! This was my next to last photo of the day, as it took little time for the snowstorm to barrel over the mountains and obscure everything around. It was then time to pack up and head to Salida for a late breakfast. Hope you enjoy this scene, and thanks for looking everybody!

A Cold Wet Weekend In Santa Paula Canyon by nedlugr

A Cold Wet Weekend In Santa Paula Canyon

This is a video taken from some old Super 8 film that I had digitized.
When we were teenagers in High School my brothers, myself and friends would sometimes backpack into Santa Paula Canyon between Santa Paula and Ojai, California.
This video is from one of those weekend trips, it was cold and wet but that didn't stop us from having a good time. In one scene Steve was getting a tick removed while Gary enjoyed watching and eating a burrito.
We hauled a long rope along with us with the intention of using it to do some rock/cliff climbing, but as you can see we ended up not using it.
Not great video, Super 8 wasn't, but my son and I had a good time editing the footage and adding some music from that time period.
I'm posting this so my friends can watch and remember. I hope if anyone else watches it here you enjoy it too.

BTW -
On a different trip to this same area, on a crystal clear sunny day, I saw a mountain lion run across the meadow near the tree shown in the picture above. How cool was that I thought!

Fink - 'Yesterday Was Hard On All Of Us'

This was taken in the near ghost town of Randsburg, California in the Mojave desert during a good drive about.

I used this song just about a year to the day ago, the lyrics seem even more relevant today than they did then.
