Remember 9/11 part 2

When I returned to my folder holding over 400 pictures from the Healing Fields, I wasn't ready to let it go. The day started early with a service in the morning. Every hour taps was played. The Healing Fields is in the landing flight pattern of the airport and in my mind the jets are a major memory of the day. That evening speeches were given that I couldn't hear. (Hearing aides still has many limitations.) Patriotic songs were played on a trumpet. Haunting and beautiful. Finally bagpipes played a last farewell with the audience holding candles standing next to the flags. I hope this series will convey the feelings I had while I cried and took pictures.

Early morning clouds

Traveling gives me plenty of time to stare at the clouds. I tried several photo techniques trying to capture the feel of these clouds. Some how looked like a crumpled quilt, tried adjusting my lens that ranges from 18 to 200. I am still not sure which of the pictures I like best.

Abstracted Night

Fear the dark or drawn in by the mystery of the light. Night time you can choose. These shots are not possible during day light hours. Enjoy.

Forgotten Water Fall

Close up and blown up

I love my Nikon camera and awesome lens. I can take pictures just inches away with amazing results. The closeups are so fun to do when your camera can handle it. The raindrops blowing up the car windows is more difficult to take then I thought. The camera had difficulty focusing on the rain and not the window or the clouds out side. This one looked the most interesting out of the dozen I took.

Its a match

Zion National Park - thousands of pictures are taken there every year by photographers ranging from amateurs to professionals. I couldn't resist matching the park picture with the peaks labeled.

Imagine

Imagine rain falling at the top of the sandstone canyon wall, it seeps down through the rock until it squeezes out drop by drop from 'weeping rock'. Scientist estimate the water takes around 2000 years to travel through the rock. We are seeing water from the time of Christ. Just imagine what water could tell us if it could speak.
