  • Tropical Storm in the Sonoran Desert

    It was not a direct hit, but one did cruse by in the vicinity. Some of the outflow made it over here. The result is the magnificent sunset.

  • Petroglyphs on Yetman trail.

    Petroglyphs on Yetman trail.

    Doing a small amount of hiking today on a shortcut on Yetman trail we came across a few caves. One had some really good petroglyphs. There were several other caves most seemed to be shallow. One seemed to be a littl deeper and I did not have sufficient lighting to see how much further it…

  • Grand Canyon NP

    Grand Canyon NP

    We spent a few days up at Grand Canyon NP. Hiked all the paved rim trails except for a short section on the Hermits Rest section. Basically, most everything from Hopi Point to South Kaibab Trail Head. Here are some photos from the various spots along those trails. A lot of the photos are panoramas.…

  • Wasson Peak

    Wasson Peak

    4/26/23 Wednesday, we hiked up to Wasson peak. At 4,687ft it is the highest point in Saguaro NP West. We did the loop trails with a distance of just under 8 miles. King Canyon, Wasson, Sandero, Norris, and then Gould Mine back to the start. I actually though this might be a challenge hike but…

    Here are some photos I took while out at CAC over that Thursday and Friday night. There were a few high clouds but did not deter observing. Most were shot with a Canon 5D Mk4 24-70 L2 30 seconds f2.8 fixed. All but the last two were camera looking north. The meteor shot was from…

  • OsSky Field Photos

    I had a request for photos of the telescopes we used at OsSky. Unfortunately, I did not take any daytime photos of the field. Here are some of the night shots that contain photos that have some portion of a telescope in them. I had to beat them up in Lightroom in order to see…

  • Sunset from April 6, 2023

    Sunset from April 6, 2023

    This was a very wide sunset spanning around about 270 degrees. The vertical component was not as good as a lot of them we get. Worth photographing but not in the top category. The setting is from the wash behind the house. Anyway, enjoy the photos.
