In the unlikely event I get through all the translations, websites and emails I just got thrown at me I’ll put the rest of the pics up. In short, an amazing little weekend break.

It’s not easy to capture the sheer scale of the geological goings-on in Zion National Park in a single pic. I tried fisheyes, stitching half a dozen shots into a panorama, then 40 odd shots into a panorama on me iTouch, zooming while shooting and trying to include teeny tiny humans somewhere in the image but I think the only answer is to start saving up for yet another lens… 18mm or thereabouts. Anyroad, hope you like this pic aimed down the valley from a relatively safe vantage point, unlike the ones where I feared for life, limb and camera on the icy stretch 20 feet from the top…
Sounds like some kind of online multiplayer roleplaying game that title…
Anyhoo, barring a radical change the number of times I upload pix, this’ll be one of the last photos from NYC in this blog that has been variously:
Mostly Mexico
From Mexico to (Ala)meda
From Mexico to Multnomah
From Mexico to Maine
From Mexico to Manhattan
and soon to be ‘From Mexico to Salt Lake City, Utah’ or a variation thereof. Thank you for your continued patronage, looking forward to sharing the Utah landscape with y’all 🙂
From Wikipedia: “The Flatiron Building, or Fuller Building as it was originally called, is located at 175 Fifth Avenue in the borough of Manhattan, and is considered to be one of the first skyscrapers ever built. Upon completion in 1902 it was one of the tallest buildings in New York City.”
And now I have captured its soul… mua hahaha, etc.
Connecting the states of Oregon and Washington. It’ll cost you a buck each way. This is a shot looking at Oregon from the driving seat. I don’t think it’s illegal to drive and wave a camera about, but it wouldn’t take long to get across the state line in the event of a high speed police chase…
Still cresting on the photos from the weekend. Hope to get out soon and take some proper ones of the increasingly vehement Oregonian winter.

Mysterious circular mounds of earth from back in the day. In Jalisco, Mexico.
We’re in the middle of moving house right now and deciding the future of this phlog. It’s going to have to be a lot less Mexico and a lot more Alameda from now on… Or should I start another one? Details as and when…
Before I discovered autostitch and various other automatic software I made these things by hand. Well photoshop anyway. Here’s 26 photos making up Santa Tere church on a Sunday in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.
Some of the most iconic monuments in the centre of Guadalajara silhouetted before sunset.
I just got a new camera which has an in-built autostitch function, hence this photo… Taken by the Paraninfo of the University of Guadalajara. I’m not convinced the dimensions work for this photoblog. What do you reckon?
Day of the dead in Michoacán was a crash course in night photography and setting exposure. I never worked out how to lessen the reddish hues that came from candle light despite using every white balance setting available. That said my night there was unbelievable, one of the most moving religious spectacles I´ve seen yet and everyone was incredibly welcoming and friendly. A beautiful Mexican tradition.
One of the most Mexican of festivals is approaching, el Dia de los Muertos.
