G+ Photowalk May 4-7: Yosemite National Park
G+ Photowalk May 4-7: Yosemite National Park - A World Heritage Site, one of the world's most incredible landscapes - Lunar rainbows ("moonbows") - waterfalls at peak flow - dogwood trees blooming by the Merced River - Spring wildflowers - reflections in Spring pools & the Merced River - full moon night landscapes The second photowalk in my series this Spring, again coinciding with the full moon to maximize shooting opportunities, will be to Yosemite National Park. This is one of the most spectacular landscapes in the world, and with lunar rainbows and night, full waterfalls, and wildflowers and trees blooming, this is arguably the best weekend of the year to visit. Feel free to RSVP or ask questions here, or for more information in a post which won't get buried, I've set up a post under a new Yosemite page at this link, where I'll maintain all the latest logistical details: https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/116372553458318494396/116372553458318494396/posts/ct...
Fantasy. I love old trees...
ReplyDeleteJohan, Good point, but the ark was too small for the millions of species of plants, so there must have been a force field around them. Any science fiction fan can figure that one out! What I can't figure out is why the bible says the sun travels around the earth, which is explained by some people by saying that that can be true from our point of reference, but clearly that point of reference requires the galaxies 14 billion light years away to greatly exceed the speed of light to travel around us every day, which physics (god's rules) apparently does not allow. So if god did inspire the wording of the bible, surely that blatant error of the sun travelling around the earth (and the apparent impossibility of other galaxies doing the same) seems to be a clue not to take the bible too seriously or perhaps not to trust too deeply people who have dramatically changed their interpretation of the source material over the past 2000 years. The Crusades, the widespread burning of women (as "witches") in Europe, the Spanish Inquisition, the sacrificing of animals to appease/please god (Why did he change his mind on that point, shouldn't churches be serving lamb and goat every week?), there's so much I have yet to understand. I sure do find peace though in nature, in "god's creation", whether that's by some miraculous process or the product of my brain's own endorphins and dopamine as I hike out into it carrying a copious quantity of camera gear on my back.
