Motivation
A dozen mountaineers made their way to the top of Red Slate Mountain, in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, on a day early in September. The ascent required strong lungs and legs, and the motivation to walk and climb from our base camp at 10,500 feet above sea level, to the summit of the mountain, at 13,136 feet. The rewards included the 360 degree views and a well-earned lunch. The less tangible rewards included a sense of accomplishment, and the joy of conscious existence that came from working our muscles and minds to accomplish a desired goal.

For me, I don't climb a mountain, as George Mallory put it, "because it's there." I climb because I can, because it's a way to prove to myself I'm still alive. No comments yet. All fields are required, fill in the form. Comment successfully added. Comment

The Guardian and his Charges
The nominally friendly Great Pyrenees was bred in Europe to kill wolves. This relaxed Great Pyrenees, watching over his flock in a spur range of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California, is non-the-less ready to drive off potential North American predators, including coyotes and cougars.

Chili Chees Fries!
Part of my dinner at the iconic "The Hat" diner, in Pasadena, during the Route 66 photography workshop. We'll do it all again next year (only I'll probably skip the french fries if we return to the Hat).

We had a great time at the Wig-Wam Motel, Wish You Were Here
Our photography group spent a night at the iconic Wig-Wam Motel, as part of our Route 66 tour. This old truck, which sits in rusting retirement at the rear of the motel, must have been a fine enticement for travelers back in the day.

One Photograph, Two Orchards
Having left behind the mountains, which were still deep in the grip of winter and mantled in snow, our caravan of photographers made its way along rural Plainsburg Road, in the Great Central Valley of California. On the Plainsburg Road, we came across the beautiful almond orchard pictured above, in full bloom, sitting happily in its own irrigated reflection in the warmth of the sun, where spring, not winter, was in ascendency.

A Most Unusual Apartment in the Sunset Hour
Three quarters of the way through a bike ride, I photographed this eye-catching apartment at sunset. The building sits across the street from Paramount Studios, on Van Ness Avenue, just north of famed Melrose Blvd.
