The big one is Everest, to the right are Nuptse and Lhotse....all I can say is... it was pretty cold.
If you like this kind of stuff, you should check out Kristin Harlia... I would place a massive bet that she will hold the record for climbing all 14 of the 8000m mountains in less than 6 months. She just summited Everest and Lhotse within 8h! An absolutely amazing athlete.

Flower macro image I shot years ago. Back when I always had a camera hanging off my shoulder.

Only the second Del Norte County, CA record of Brown Thrasher (showed up yesterday, at a friend's house, where the first county record occurred 20 years ago).

I recall the helicopter camera filming this F40-on-deck and me thinking "Monaco. Where else ?"

Been twice to a Monaco F1 race weekend: bling-bling circus on another level.

Imagine a tow cable snapping...

Japanese daisugi technique for growing cedar wood, adapted from bonsai methods. Rather than cut down the tree, the tree is trimmed so that a new trunk grows from the cut. This technique dates from the 15th century.

I wonder how accurate it is.

United States/Canada border (Point Roberts, USA and Tsawwassen, British Ontario, Canada). I might have broken Canadian Immigration law when I was working in Tsawassen by taking this picture. I had re-entered the US at the border check point but when taking the picture I might have put the edge of my left shoe on Canadian soil.

The US-Canada border runs through this tiny library. The Haskell library straddles two nations, with one foot in the US and the other in Canada.

Solid gold MTB. And what would the rider carry in the Swarovski crystal bottle?

I can understand why the crankset is so small. That bike would be soooo heavy.

Not to take away anything at all from those men, but about six weeks later, halfway around the world the U.S. Army and Marine Corps landed on the Japanese-held islands of the Marianas. Demonstrating the incredible industrial and military strength of the Allies.

The summer of 1944 was quite a turning point in world history.

The wife and I recently returned from a 2 week trip through Europe, and one of our stops was in Venice. I took these with my iPhone, so not quite professional but the lighting was very cool.
