This will be my last post on this blog, I am moving to a new Bigger and better Blog. Cooler looking, less fuss and muss. No Stupid Go Daddy Ad ^

It is much more customizable and prettier and I can now post larger 900 Pixel wide image which I think better suit my stuff.

I will keep this old one around just cuz I don't feel like transferring 100 post to the new blog, plus for some reason people in Germany like my Wildflower Pictures

So now if you want to follow all my new stuff, either go to groundupphotos and click on New Blog,..or bookmark this new address

Wall street, Navajo Loop Trail, Bryce Canyon National Park



This is the decent down 550 ft in  6/10ths of a  Mile




In the spring of 2006, Wall street suffered a landslide in which 500 tons of Rock came crashing down blocking the path, They left the debris there but now have natural stairs that take you over the debris field.

This is what it looked like in 2001 before the collapse...and before digital and HDR Photography

        

        

I am pleased to announce that my Photography Tutorials will now be on the Tuts + Network at their newest tutorial site; Photo Tuts +

Maybe...it is I

Well, thought I would go shoot the meteor shower, then I realized I had no clue how to shoot a meteor shower. So after 3 hours and 6 15 Minute exposures...I got two teeny Tiny meteorites, even though I saw about 25

Can you find them in these images?

 

Or this one?



Then the moon came up and ruined it all




So I just shot some tailights]



Oh well, always next year.


Wow these images don't make it small. Time for a new Blog
