Building Mountains

Today was a good day on The Mountain. I managed to do a short hike this morning for some film photography with the Hasselblad. I also captured this image (with the Canon G9) of the MMWD's work building the mountain to meet their vision on the Gravity trail:



This new drainage pipe will eliminate the big pool that used to form on the uphill side of the road when we got a lot of rain. I'm sure it is the right thing to do for the road, but the pool will be missed -- It's always been a sight to see the redwood trees springing out of the big pool.

The rest of my photos are on film. Mostly black and white, but one on Velvia ISO 50. The Velvia is 7 years expired. It will be interesting to see how it turns out. The B&W was TMAX 100, and it is on its way to Dwayne's as I type.

I also got a great 6+ miles running in this evening. 60 degrees and a foggy sunset. Couldn't be better.

On Monday my mountain trail takes me to Botswana. I'm torn. It's a trip of a lifetime --though for business. And, I have to leave my paradise here. More to come on this topic I'm sure...

As you know, tomorrow is Lori's birthday. Of course you knew that... It's a (or should be a) national holiday! It's all about her tomorrow!

Night night!
