I've only been able to upload a couple photos of my recent Peru trip, as the internet here isn't the best. When I get home I will put the rest on my photostream. For now, here is a photo from a mountain pass between Arequipa and the Colca Canyon. It looks a bit darker on flikr than it did oringally..

Sunset with flies.
What looks like a dirty sensor, is actually a swarm of insects.

This one really stands out this time. Nice shot.

I'm awaiting that kind of colors here. I was just up in Blue Ridge, GA, today, and there's not any color there yet. I'm hoping to have time to go again in a couple of weeks. I'll just go with a toned B&W from the orchards instead.
Having three boys that are Star Wars nuts, this looks familiar to me! Especially loved the headless characters appearance!
The surreal effect of the hills going off into the background is great.

That's an iconic capture of US Autumn (Fall for you guys) to me.
A great start to a lazy Sunday morning down under!
It took four guys to mend a hole in the road: two to shovel hot tarmac and two to present 'stop' and 'go' lollipop signs to oncoming traffic...

I've been absent for a while and haven't really had time to do much on the photographic front. I saw this in one of my favourite shops the other day and had to buy it. There are a few more I'd like to get but at £16 a pop I think I'll get lynched if too many appear. Questions will be asked and the answers will not be liked....

Here in Australia, you have to undertake a certificate course to even hold one of those! Then you get paid about $1400 a week for being able to turn a sign around in synchronicity with another guy...
Great Salt Lake
a few months back I made the not-too-bright decision to take a mid-summer, mid-day hike on to the flats of the Great Salt Lake. If you haven't been, it's an awe-inspiring place. But consider going on a less than scorching day - and take lots of water.
