climbing the bridle path up to mountain Lafayette in New Hampshire this weekend. I'm just getting into the alpine zone and the frost is covering everything. I never made it to the top, the conditions were too dangerous (ice, -26F windchill, 30mph winds,etc)

A recent trip to St Augustine, Mission Nombre de Dois. Site of the first Mass on Sept 8 1565, a day after 8 Spanish ships arrived to claim for Spain and colonize.

Another from the trip to St Augustine. Hadn't planned on a photo (plan was escaping the heat to an air conditioned setting) but then was the hand held low light challenge. St Photios Greek Orthodox National Shrine.

Thought about this for the WPC but a bit obvious given the imaginative entries already submitted. Had a couple of hours near a reasonably local waterfall (not the one with the shopping cart by the way) so expect a few more posts. Comments always appreciated.

The Korean War Memorial in D.C. . I find it much more impressive at night . Unfortunately , for me , it's much harder to get a good image . Tried , in previous visits , to use a 50/1.4 and 35/2IS handheld , or with a monopod using ridiculously high ISO's . This time I finally got smart and brought a tripod and release along .

SL2 , 15-85@29 , f8@30sec , ISO 200
The slow shutter speed took care of a small group of tourists moving in the back , save for one guy with a cell phone who was dispatched into the ozone via content aware fill .

The MTV Moon Man. (This larger than life statue was originally created for the MTV Music Awards...now overseeing a surplus yard.)

I only had an f3.5 lens at the moment. Had me wishing I had gone with the 1.7 prime instead!
