Day 284: Silverton!

Sunday, October 12, 2014

The northern terminus of the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad. Downtown Silverton.

Interesting. What […]

The Green River Overlook, a four photo panorama. A sign to identify things […]

The lunar eclipse made it to Moab!  It was cloudy in the evening and the moonrise was almost nonexistent…but I had to get up about 4:40 this morning and I found the eclipse trying to hide behind some more clouds… (1/4s f/4.5 ISO6400 200mm -1/2 stop Canon 7D) (1/2s f/8.0 ISO320 300mm 7D) (0.3s f/8.0 […]
