Park Nights - Park Days!

9 August 05

The sound of distant cars, distant conversation, distant wind. Nothing is more relaxing in my experience than park nights, and a park breeze. Maria Muldaur’s “Midnight at the Oasis” on the iMac, and stars, oh my, so many stars. It feels altogether like the eye of the storm here, its what I have always loved the most about it; oh and yes, there are always the others who live here!

  1. You can’t beat the freebies! The favourite part of my day is usually the walk round the local park. Same park, same 4 square miles every day, but always different. I don’t have a regular time so sometimes the morning mist, sometimes the midday sun, sometimes the evening sunset blow my mind. In a small city so stars are hard to see, but the sky and clouds never fail to fascinate me. There are lots of shades of lush green just now.

    You’ve taken a few pictures of bald trees (as well as the bald eagle:). Is there a pollution problem?

  2. Actually, most of the tragic looking trees are the victims of thermal activity, Yellowstone’s thermal features are always moving and the trees are the victims. They seem to attract my attention as photographic opportunities, they have character out of the ordinary I think.
    Yellowstone is 2.2 million acres, and in ten years here I have bearly scratched the surface. the lack of residual light makes the stars seem so bright, you get the same effect out on the open ocean – very pretty.
