I haven't been, but I just started a word file called "Pearls", after the comic strip. However, if the house were to go up in flames (too much of that going on around here), the computer would be one of the last things I'll grab...or the first, hard to say. Two days ago we had a string of fires start right outside town and up the highway to the east into the mountains. Seems like a vehicle might have been dragging a chain and causing sparks. We were fortunate that there was no wind and all was contained within 12 hours. Rain in the forecast.
But in the end, I can not get too excited about the application of lables. My second images of branches still has a referent, mysterious as it is. The branches radiate from the lower center of the image, rather than randomly repeatitive like the other. It was taken in 110F temps, much too hot for rattlesnakes. I was out in the open, near a strange colored lake, and surrounded on three sides by 400' walls of volcanic rock. The heat rose up around me and burst through the end of the branches.
The volcanic wall behind the branches stretches over 3 miles and I was in one of four alcoves. About 13,000 years ago the amount of water flooding over these walls equaled the total flow of all the earth's rivers right now....and these falls would have been a meer ripple. And these floods happened many times over a couple thousand years, putting the area of Portland under 400 feet of water each time. How can that not affect ones images? Again, what the viewer finds in the image is up to them, but hopefully I have given viewers a visual push to appreciate the crazy energy in the image.
