Some have been wondering about posting pix from the Phoenix photo gathering. Here is the link to the gallery. Lots of pix to process so if you went, add a few of yours. If you didn't, have a look. It was a great time. Thank PJReed and wife for hosting 5 1/2 exhausting days :)

Too cold for us warm climate dwellers.
I drove up to Oklahoma this week and as usual, I dragged all my camera gear with me. I purposely found time to look for photo opportunities and the first night there I was rewarded with a pretty nice sunset on Hefner Lake. The first two shots are from that lake. Who would have thought there was a lighthouse in Oklahoma?
The third shot is from a very remote ghost town in the middle of nowhere Oklahoma. Even with my car's GPS, a Garmin handheld and Google maps with lat-long coordinates, I still had a hard time finding this place. This town died in the 50's and this particular gas station had a brief moment of glory with a cameo appearance in the movie Rain Man with Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise. The pumps showed 47.9 cents for regular and 48.9 cents for Eythl. Being a deserted gas station I decided this needed to be processed differently so I processed it to accentuate the ghost town nature of this long since dead and forgotten building.

I wouldn't have believed a lighthouse in Oklahoma either (we have never been to Oklahoma).

FS is back up and running a bit late. Thank you lnightng7 & Lorima for your Challenges this past week.
I'll set the stage here for these three photos. Shot this morning over in top of a waterfalls and it was sub-zero temps with a -30° windchill factor and the spray from the high river was being blown over towards me and it was freezing before hitting whatever it hits as you'll see. This type of weather needs a recipe...cold, high water and strong winds which will create ice all over and I was out ther with a ski pole and cleats on my boots and a sack of photo stuff
