Fremont Peak

Fremont Peak, 13,751 feet.  The wide-angle shot makes the mountain look much smaller than it is. 

Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability at Dawn: Dual Widescreen Wallpaper

Working on this soft pastel taken at City of Rocks Idaho, I noticed the beautiful example of a Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in the clouds.  For you non-geeks, its the "breaking waves" formation at the center of the frame.  Check it out at

Ahhh, Science!  It even happens to artists!

Edit:  Blogspot got me again!  If you want the full-size 3840x1200 version, get it here:

Another shot from the same session.  Just playing around with getting the light and background about right.

Dippy Z: Nissan 350Z Wallpaper

I haven't worked on any automotive stuff for quite a while, so I figured it was time to try again.  This 350 Z is "Dippy" because I got rid of all the bright aluminum and chrome highlights with Plasti-Dip spray.  Awesome stuff for emblems and detail work, but I don't know yet how long it will last.  I certainly do like the Anthracite trim color better than aluminum.   

Oh by the way-- download size is 1920 x 1200, if anyone wants to use it as wallpaper.

Bad, Bad Weather

Believe it or not, these clouds were right over my house!  Seriously!  (Though I might have played with contrast and color balance just a wee bit ;-)

3840x1200 if you were looking for a threatening background wallpaper.

Spring Weeds

It snowed today. Must be time to go back through my shots from spring I never processed and see if there's any wheat in all that chaff. I kinda liked these weeds... Wonder if Laura knows what they're called.
