Twisted cedar at the Grand Canyon:

This was taken at the Grand Canyon last November. I blessed with an ideal snow for photography while at one of the most magical places in the world.

Nasty outbreak of T-Storms here today. I was driving in and noticed what I first thought was road salt. Then it dawned on me that it was hail that had fallen just before I got there. Glad I was running late.

Stellar image, Dave. That snow was really frosting on the cake, eh?

Not a chance. Between the weather forecast and the fact that today is "Unofficial St. Patrick's Day" on campus, I left the Z safely at home in the garage. Last thing I wanted to risk is some drunk kid barfing on my softtop.

If I can find things to shoot out here surrounded by miles of brown dirt, you should be able to find something of interest in Cyprus. I have a friend who lives near the coast in Massachusetts *and* he lives next to a lake and conservation land. And he complains about not having anything to shoot. Drives me nuts.

you're being too picky then. Sometimes the most boring things can be the most interesting...

It was hard getting the focus right, but I think I did well. Two lenses and a mirror does not make an easy shot.

Now see, that's a cool picture. I think you should try cloning out the lights and the lighten the whole image a bit.

Is this a junk heap under two telephone wires with clouds OOF, or what? I'm thinking there's something that I'm supposed to recognize here, but I'm not seeing it.
