posting for the sake of posting

amadeus

sometimes I like to post pics from previous trips, events. etc etc. digital pics are already aging. posting them is kind of like setting them free again. to fly like a bird. god it sounds like a lifetime tv movie.

I really don't like Katie Couric, I think that girl should just shut her yap. and thats putting it nicely.

a boring picture of my bike on red dirt in Utah from 2004. loaded for bear but I didn't see any.

amadeus

but the previous picture gets a little more intersting when you, me, or even rabia stops to consider its in Monument Valley. Which is run by american indians by the way.

amadeus

there was a rock formation there called 3 sisters but I never saw it I was just taking pictures of my bike.

amadeus

I'd like to go back there, they had a camping area, I thought, my god, its like camping in the middle of nowhere. who would camp here?

but when you think about it, I'll bet its a pretty cool place to walk around at dusk, maybe a nice cooler full of brews, a cigar. just watch out for the damn snakes would be the only worry. I hate snakes.

amadeus

this ended up being the best shot of the day in my opinion. but you really need to open it up on original to get the full effect.

amadeus

the pictures even become more fun to recall becasue when you think about it, I had just come from here a few hours earlier.

amadeus

the grand canyon is a great place to pause and reflect. something that jerk Bono might want ot do more often before he starts running his stupid yap about how we should spend our tax dollars. bono is equally as pathetic as katie couric.

Very nice series of images, Amadeus.

Whatever made you think that red dirt roads are boring??

They're one of the best kind, along with gravel, brown dirt and black dirt and sandy roads!!:):

Andy

great series, and it makes me look forward even more to this year's shootout at Bryce and Zion!

I agree, except I'm looking forward to riding season.

Nice shots! Boy oh boy does the landscape look exotic to me! So incredibly beautiful! I hope I'll be able to see it with my own eyes some day!

i love those shots of monument valley. i have actually taken several trips to the area, but none recently. i was going through some of my photos and feeling sad that i might not ever have the opportunity to go there again. that area of the country just calls to me somehow, and the deep red landscapes are part of it.

Nice set.
Thanks for sharing.but your comment of Couric & Bono were more enjoyable:D

amadeus

thanks for the comments. I'm thinking this threads not done by a longshot.

since this is more what your used to seeing I can see how the red dirt of Utah might seem interesting. great shot.

Flug - You're on the cover of TIME!! WOW!! With your fellow travellers Katie and Bono

amadeus

moving right along.

I have been there, I am sure. A major nice place to be! (And no one here thinks I have ever been anywhere but the low country of SC). We had a family reunion in the early 80s, it was outside of Durango and my brother had a 4 wheel drive thing. As a matter of fact I actually took photographs there.

That is a nice photograph! If you can I would photoshop it at the top of the mtns so there is more delineation from the sky. Most of the rest of the photograph is so good, the strong foreground interest all the way half way up the mtns. Then the mtns fall away! Someone knows how to do it, I am sure and can help you.

It is such gorgeous country! You look like you had nice wheels!.

amadeus

up the street aways. still colorado.

amadeus

look familiar?

same rabia. different mountains. from the top of mt. washington, new hampshire. on a day you could see all the way to boston and light a candle and not have it go out. no wind. none.

Flug, Mt. Washington is a gorgeous ride. Try it on a bicycle one day (yeah, those days are behind me, but I'll never forget coming down!)

amadeus

right on the mass/ny border, on the mass side. just a tad southeast of albany.

amadeus

died in 1799 at the age of 19. probably from something curable now. who knows.

a bicycle? no freaking way.

we passed bicyclists going up Mt. Evans in Colorado. tallest paved road in north america. 14,200 feet. taller than pikes peak.

god made the motorcycle so man wouldn't have to pedal anymore.
