Photos are meant to be shared
I know this is a terrible photograph, taken with my phone, while traveling through Los Banos in Central California. But I thought it funny that he would be telling others to leave but lived here himself.
Ich weiß, dass dies ein schreckliches Foto ist, das ich mit meinem Handy aufgenommen habe, als ich durch Los Banos in Zentralkalifornien reiste. Aber ich fand es lustig, dass er anderen sagen würde, sie sollen gehen, aber selbst hier lebte.
Catching a person’s facial expression can be challenging. I felt extremely lucky getting this image from an elderly lady. I was sitting on a bench as she walked by looking at a bulletin board when I photographed her. Enjoy!
Heute mal wieder etwas aus der Experimentier- und Spielecke. Wie der Titel schon sagt, ist das Thema hier das Malen mit Licht. Wer sich also mal künstlerisch austoben möchte, dem sei diese Technik empfohlen. Obendrein eine sehr entspannende Sache, wie ich finde.
Today something from the experiment and play corner. As the title suggests, the theme here is painting with light. So if you want to let off steam artistically, this technique is recommended. It’s also very relaxing, in my opinion.
Somehow self-explanatory 😉
9 years ago traffic in the center of Pnom Penh in Cambodia was mainly scooters and motorcycles. The proud owners manage the traffic with excited recklessness. The rule of a maximum of 2 on a motorcycle does not apply here . Helmets are the exception and only for the driver. Some examples…..
Greenery spotted on a spring hike. | April 2024
I am spending some time in the Desert on my camping trip. So many wildflowers can be seen when looking at the scenery around.
The Algodones Dunes are a large sand dune field (45 miles by 6 miles) in the southeastern portion of California, east of the present day Salton Sea (currently -236 ft below sea level). Typically, the Colorado River flows south to the Sea of Cortez (Gulf of California). But, once in a while, due to several reasons, the ancient Colorado River spilt into the present day Salton Sea area and a freshwater lake developed, called Lake Cahuilla. The last Lake Cahuilla covered much of the Imperial, Coachella, and Mexicali Valley, and occurred as late as 1450. The most popular theory suggests that the Algodones Dunes formed over thousands of years from the windblown beach sands of landlocked Lake Cahuilla, especially when it’s water slowly evaporated and the aeolian processes picked up the finer sediments in this forming arid environment.
Today, the Algodones Dunes is used by men and women who are in need of driving sand buggies around and around until all beer is spilt or the gasoline tank is empty. Luckily, some parts are closed off for sand buggies. The photo shown here is from the closed off area.
I had a blast photographing at the Fremont Street Experience in Las Vegas, an open Mall with an incredible night life. Enjoy!
