Brilliant shots. And kudos to you for lugging that lunch box around with you on a hike. Tripod?

Thanks!

Yes, all were on a tripod except for pic 5, technically. That was at an overlook and there was a rock wall there with a nice flat top that I just set the camera on. I actually took a photo with my phone of that.

I have some more from the NYC trip from a little over a week ago.

1. Jersey City from the 81st floor of World Trade Center building; as are the next three.

2. Brooklyn Bridge

3. The footprint of one of the former towers

4. Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island

5. Central Park from the 24th floor terrace at the New York Athletic Club

6. My view of town as I head back to New Jersey on the ferry to Weehawken. That crazy looking building is actually a movie theater, among other things. It's at about 58th Street, or 57th.

Went to Fallingwater today. Have some Germans in town and it was a perfect day to do something leisurely. Then we went down a few miles to Ohiopyle, where the whitewater starts, to have a picnic along the Yough. George Washington, in the 1750s, traversed the Youghiogheny River on a wooden raft but, he bailed (pussy 😂) before he got to the falls shown in picture #3.

EDIT: they are in the midst of a two-year renovation/preservation project.

Difficult to believe that iconic & historic masterpiece of FLW was allowed to deteriorate (as noted by a documentary just a few years ago).

A lot of historical places deteriorated.  Really cool places that could be bought pretty cheap at one time or another, except that it would cost over a million to renovate.

I’m not sure “it has been allowed” because every time I have been there it is getting some work done   I’ll have to research what you said

In one week the water level looks to have more than tripled after a few days of rain. Pretty neat.

Gratuitous Harvey pic on a bench beside Central Park.

The morning on Friday at Bethpage Black. Before all the ugliness. This photo was shot with my phone, is unedited, and looks surreal.

Just a quikie from an upstairs window about half an hour ago and a quick edit. Forgive the little smudge on my lens at the lower edge from my greasyass fingers.

Can't remember if I posted this over the summer. Spent much of May looking for an old coyote's den, then several weeks hidden and waiting for the pups to emerge. One day this momma griz hopped over a ledge at twenty feet away. No bueno. She spent a minute pacing and popping her jaws while I backed away. Luckily she was relatively chill and I snapped this pic once I'd backed up to a hundred yards or so.

The question would have been, “Does PittsburghTiger shit in the woods?”, if i was that close to a mother bear.

I don't know how you held the camera still to get this photo at 100 yards after being at 20 feet.

I got to go up to Colorado to do another round of college visits for my younger one and to visit the older one.

I absolutely love the drive up there once you get out of Texas.  I was blessed with an amazing sunset and this incredible thunderstorm between Ft. Sumner and Santa Rosa.  Pics don't even come close to reality:

Equinox Brewing in Ft. Collins is one of my happy places.  The leaves sure do weird things up there:

PXL_20251011_1907202592.thumb.jpg.0444ecc4545f71f5d627da7449badf42.jpg

Gratuitous mountain pics.  Sorry, they always look good on my phone but turn out to be way overprocessed otherwise.

Short hike to a pretty amazing waterfall:

Dear God, the weather was beautiful.  Amazing to wake up to this but go out by the river, sit in the morning sun, and feel perfectly comfortable at 27deg:

Pics of marginal trout are in the fishing thread, but including this little guy who was very displeased that I was taking up his spot.  He proceeded to dip in the water and scare everything out of the hole (explaining my lack of trophy fish pics).
