Milky Way rising behind the Watchman
Zion National Park, Utah
Usually, light pollution is unwanted. Here, however, the lights of nearby Springdale, Utah nicely lit the face of the Watchman, without obliterating the beautiful galaxy in the background. In addition, you can see some "airglow", the greenish light near the horizon, which is nature's light pollution.
This is another of the many great shots from my recent super-banzai SouthWest trip with +Phillip Colla

Monument Valley; Approaching Dawn
After staying up almost all night taking photos of the MIlky Way over one of the sandstone formations in Natural Bridges National Park, +Phillip Colla and I made the two-hour drive back to Kayenta where soft beds awaited each of us. But wait; there's more! How about the blue hour as dawn approaches at Monument Valley? A totally unexpected bonus that we hadn't planned for.
Almost makes up for the flat tire in Hurricane.
Almost.

Antelope Canyon
I'm still recovering from my and +Phillip Colla's Super-Banzai 2013 SouthWest Roadtrip; 4 days, 1,400 miles, and very little sleep. We hit several great locations for nighttime star shoots, but Antelope Canyon is best in the middle of the day, when the only star that's visible is our Sun, and it's almost directly overhead. Only at high angles can the sunlight penetrate down the narrow slot canyon to the sandy canyon floor below, lighting the dust particles in the air, turning them into a beautiful sunbeam, and providing the beautiful glow to the canyons sculpted walls.
This photo may be cliche, but this is truly one of the most beautiful places on Earth.

The Wave, North Coyote Buttes
+Garry McCarthy and I made a mad road trip, driving 1400 miles in four days and shooting some amazing nightscapes in locations both familiar and new. We'll have some top images to share in the coming days. We did visit some of the more traditional locales too, including the Wave seen here in late afternoon light with some monsoonal clouds. Cheers, and thanks for looking!

The one that got away.
From the clouds in the sky when I left work, it looked like the sunset was going to be a typical May Grey. So, I went home. So did +John H. Moore and +Sairam Sundaresan and probably a lot of others. What a mistake. This is a shot from the Del Mar beach cam, shortly after sunset.
Oops.

I am very honored to have had all eight of the photos I submitted to the San Diego County Fair's juried photo competition accepted for display. It's a pretty tough task; only about 30% of the photos that are entered are displayed. If you're in town in late June/early July, make sure to check out the exhibit; there are always a lot of great photos to see.
Here are the shots of mine that will be displayed -- hopefully with a ribbon or two!

Because +J. Rae Chip wants a photo of me for her homies album, here is me being tasted by my GF's new rescue dog (tentatively named Finn). Apparently, I am savory. He, on the other hand, is very sweet. Hopefully he has not jumped the extra barriers we put on top of Karen's fence by now (which is probably why he ended up as a rescue in the first place).

WTF? Today, I looked over into the "You May Know" section of my page and 2 of the 3 names in there were in my circles. At least, they used to be. I never deleted them, and they both have me circled, so I'm pretty sure they had nothing to do with it. So how, and why, are people being deleted from my circles??
Edit: Before adding three people back, I had 666 in my circles. After adding them, I still have 666. So is G+ ejecting someone from my circles for every one I add?? (And let's not get into the satanic ramifications of that number. . .) ;)

Mercurial Moon
Tonight's setting Moon, led by Mercury, above the Giant Dipper in Belmont Park, San Diego.
Mars was just below Mercury (the bright "star" at the bottom), but was to faint to see through the horizon's glow.) The crescent on the moon is lit by the sun; the rest is lit by reflection from the Earth. This is two exposures; the moon is from a different shot, at a higher ISO/faster shutter speed for sharper details.
