Sutro double

Playing with the "secret" feature of the Trio 28: shooting in between lenses, that gives this in-camera sort of double exposure. With beautiful sunset colors as a backdrop.

Mais les pierres de Stonehenge n'ont rien dit du tout...

 
We crossed the Columbia River not far from The Dalles, on a quick incursion into Washington to see this replica of Stonehenge located in Maryhill. It was commissioned by Sam Hill, a pacifist Quaker,  as a memorial to the fallen soldiers of World War I.

Easter envy

Do you know the story of the rubber frog who wished to be as delicious as the chocolate bunny^(*)?
Ok, I made this one up. But I needed a photo for Pinhole day and I thought this was funny.
Why don't you see more of the bunny? Chocolate envy got the best of me, and my model's ears got chopped off before the shot...

^* Jean de la Fontaine's original fable: The Frog that wished to be as big as the Ox

Double Spring

As much as I like technology and shiny new toys stuff, I have a fascination for all things old or derelict, decrepit and abandoned.
My favorite groups on flickr include the Rusty and Crusty and Abandoned pools.

This gauge, although not that old, was dusty and partially covered with spider webs, on the side of what looked like a forgotten firetruck in Del Norte County.

After the rain

A flashback to Australia for this delicate flower, shot after one of these tropical storms that stop as suddenly as they start and leave everything soaking wet
