karnaLa, Panvel, Maharashtra, India

I snapped this picture of KarnaLa mountain from a car, travelling at 60 mph. The resultant (unintented) image was blurry lending an ethereal quality to the landscape.

Bright Angel Trail

Bright Angel Trail, South Rim, Grand Canyon, AZ

This trail has many charms:
The usual stupendous scenery and geology of the Grand Canyon.
The specific attractions along this trail (petroglyphs, the resthouses, Jacob's Ladder, Indian Gardens, the side-trip to Plateau Point, the Devil's Corkscrew, among others).
The clear visibility of many parts of the trail, especially from the upper parts of the trail, enhanced by the number of people and mules on the trail, allowing one to see where the trail is going.
The tremendous variety of people one encounters along the trail.

Look to la luna!

It was a cold, cold night in Mounds View, MN with temperature about 7F. The moon looked pretty behind the leafless tree. Shutter speed = 4 sec; Aperture = Auto; Flash = ON. Still couldnt get the black spots on the moon to show. Still wondering how to do that......

Fast Food

I love this picture: Perfect depth of field to accompany the high shutter speed (causes quickly moving objects to be frozen)
