Not Exactly Travel

Well folks, it’s been a while since we went on any big trips, but we have several coming up this year.  As always I expect to get lots of good pictures.  You will be able to decide for yourself whether I actually do or not.

In the mean time I can’t just sit around and not take pictures, especially with my new camera sitting around and burning a hole in my camera bag.  Yesterday it was sunny and I took a little ride and long hike and here is what I got.

I rode my motorcycle up to Table Mountain and then I hiked around on top of the mountain for several miles trying to find some good shots.

I was on my way to get some photos of a waterfall that I know about but was interested in finding whatever I could along the way.

This photo was made from the process of combing three photos together that are taken at different exposures.  The process is called HDR for high dynamic range.  Those are Poppies in the foreground.

This is the waterfall I was looking for and it’s called Phantom Falls because it only flows after the rain.  We have had a lot of rain lately.

Here it is again.  Table Mountain can be incredibly beautiful in the spring when the wild flowers bloom but they are just getting started.  I think I might be a week or 2 early.
