Picture Of The Day

Hey Everybody,

Thanks for your compliments and encouragement for Kyger. Yea... it's a sweet story. Kyger gave me this link to share with you: http://www.mixcloud.com/kyger12/

This is the site where he's been uploading weekly mixes for over a year. Just to let you know... this is EDM and House Music. It can get pretty intense, and it's definitely NOT disco.
It's also not for the "faint of heart." Listen to Kyger's mixes when you're prepared to either "get it up," jump up and down or smash your head into a wall.

It's a new era.

Thank you, I'll check it out.

I am going to listen to it tomorrow on my system. Have to give it a spin at least!

I recently created an opportunity to fulfill one of my lifelong dreams - some call it my craziness - to go hiking in the Himalayas. I had grand plans of reaching Everest Base Camp and photographing Mt. Everest in all her majesty from a nearby lookout. But, as the saying goes, the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry. And so it went - from trepidation and excitement during the preparation for the hike, to disbelief and euphoria of actually being in the Himalayas, to despair, dismay and disappointment of getting sick and having to cut the trip short.

Before I got sick, I was still able to capture some pictures that I felt started approaching the grandeur of the mountain ranges that surely and unrelentingly never let you forget how insignificant I really was and how my conquests of Mother Nature are surely an illusion as she alone holds the key to what I can achieve on any given day.

I'm a novice at photography and post processing. C&C welcomed. I know I need to improve my skills, so anything that can help, I'd love to see it.

Thanks for looking.

Maritan,

Thanks for sharing. Well, your captures are great to me, and sorry to hear that you didn't complete your aspirations of reaching the Base Camp. Kudos for the attempt! The images you presented have great lighting and that takes a good eye to know what to keep and what to toss. and having links to Flickr are cool as we get to see the higher resolutions on large displays.

Note that right now your post on AC of Beautiful and Foreboding is not showing. but clicking the text does show your wonderful photo.

cheers, ed

Ed,

As the other saying goes, "sh!t happens."

I tried and I couldn't make things happen, but like you said, at least I tried.

I think I've fixed the first picture. Please let me know if you see it without having to click on it.

Thanks for the feedback!

Maritan,
thanks for posting those really nice photos!

With all the cold weather pictures thought I would throw this in to cheer everyone up..

Bob, that looks like a nice place to spend an afternoon.

Bob2 · « **Reply #3617 on:** 21 Nov 2014, 02:50 pm »

Yes it is!
We did pack a lunch in the kayak and paddled out for an afternoon of wine, cheese and snorkeling. Not necessarily in that order..

Oh yea, that sounds pretty awesome. Very relaxing.
