Nepal Post 1

I've just returned a few weeks ago from a month long expedition in Nepal. This is the first post of several about my trip there and mainly to share some photographs. This is a picture of some of the first high mountains (6000m+) that we encountered. For more photos and details click here for the flicker site. Keep checking back for updates as I get more photos posted.

Sierra Surise

The morning glow of the sun cast on the Eastern Sierra Mountains near Kersage Pass in the Onion Valley. What a way to start the day.

Snow Day.

Some fresh snow last night made the morning commute off the mountain impossible (except by snowmobile). In my area in only snows this hard a handful of times each winter - but enough today to close the roads for a most of the morning today. I made the most of it and after a day at the 'home office' cut some fresh powder with my snowshoes. For more pictures click here.

Busy as a Bee

Last summer there seemed to be a swarm of bumble bees doing what they do. I took this on a backpacking trip in Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest in North Carolina.

Dark Night at Joshua Tree

Here is a ~20 minute night time exposure of the heavens. Looks like I managed to find the North Star (the only star not moving).

Joshua Tree National Park

Winter at Joshua Tree. Beautiful, stark, and cold (down to 20 F at night). For more images, click on the title.
