I think I must be starting to get restless–I’ve been thinking about summer vacation a lot, and wanting to get on the road. Anyway–here are a couple of pictures I took a year or so ago at The Pinnacles, a national monument in California. This first one is of a picture I ordered a poster sized print of that’s sitting on my table waiting to be matted and framed.
I think it’s going to be beautiful when finished; the only problem is where to hang it.
This next one gives you an idea of why it’s called The Pinnacles.
The real reason I’m posting these is I haven’t gotten any good pictures on the past couple of walks. I don’t know what’s up, but I just can’t seem to capture what I see these days. But I’ll keep trying.

Yesterday we had some perfect fog conditions — ice on the river, snow on the ground, and temperatures way above freezing. I went out with a camera and tried to capture what I was seeing, without much success.
You sure do have some remarkable landscapes in your part of the world!

Yes, we do–but keep in mind that we tend to point our cameras at the best bits. I first figured this out way back when, as a tourist in Switzerland. I remember being disappointed at all the messy-looking man-made stuff, especially electrical wires draped across the landscape. I’d been expecting it to look like the pictures I’d seen. But by picking my angle just right, I could capture loverly pictures of the Alps behind or through all that–and then I realized that all the professional photographers had done the same thing, only better.
