A very long, long trip up there but it was worth it. I want to shoot it again or find some elsewhere. I got them in the morning with a sun star coming through.
Interesting point about the Bristlecone Pine; like the Sequoia, they don't exist anywhere else on the planet.
What do you mean, it's not cheese? We know that it's American cheese since 1969!
During an eclipse of the sun, the remaining light will seem strange. Where ever you are, observe THAT!
You might think of Great Basin NP. And Death Valley that time if year. Zion NP, Bryce, Joshua Tree NP. Should have good weather, and not too crowded.
As an "Old Guy," an with a little experience with old pick-ups, I will opine: not earlier than 1941 and not later than 1946. The 46s were mostly a continuation of the 1942 model year because of the interruption caused by WWII.
Several times I asked the hotel for an adapter. They let me use it for free.
When I was very little, we had a 29 coupe that was that same shade of green! Wish i had it now!!

Great picture. But, Palouse Falls is nowhere near Palouse, WA. :-)
But it IS in the Palouse Country part of Washington!
Some rather interesting effects on the left side when zoomed. Care to enlighten me? Looks like there were others with the same intent of a photo after the storm. And some circles or a set of circles, of sunlight. I still like the photo!!!
One of your normal, good shots, Regis!!! (I hope I understated that correctly!)
Very NICE!!! I camped near the base of the falls in the Summer of 1955. Didn't have a good camera then, sigh!

I'm wondering if TLR users thought the SLR was going to take over. We now have mirrorless cameras with excellent specs producing excellent photographs.
In 1958 my dad bought a Roliechord, little brother to Rolieflex. He didn't think a 35mm would do what he wanted. In 1959 i bought a Richoflex, which I still have, both of those cameras were very good for a lot of newspaper work. At least what we were doing. After I got out of the Army, I bought an Exacta VX iib. Took a lot of good photos. In the mid 70's I bought a Pentax Spotmatic, took a lot of photos with it, too. After I got married, We, (now), got several point-n-shoot toys before we got a Canon T2i. Our (my) experience is that the TLR & the SLR are handled differently and for different purposes. The DSLR is more stable in MY hand and with my age and hand stability difficulty, I get lots better photos with the DSLR. Best of luck to you all!
Regarding the cooing sound: the roadrunner belongs to the cuckoo family, so not surprising.
