I think it's impossible to take a bad photo at the Amphitheatre...

Gannaga Pass

Tell me you did it on the bike, please! 

 

Only problem I had there was that going up I was bleeding through the eyeballs and couldn't see the view. Then going down I couldn't take my eyes off the road.....until the wind made them tear up so badly I couldn't see the view or the road.......that's what guardian angels are for!

I have signed up for, or joined, a FB group that has a 52-week challenge for photography.

 

It starts today and any level of photographer (beginner, intermediate, expert and pro) can take part.

 

If you are interested, here's the link:

No I did not.It was scorching hot and two punctures later and no water at the guest house because the porcupines had eaten the pipe did not leave me in a pleasant frame of mind

Turns out I was using the 2016 version of the 52-week Dogwood Photo Challenge, so I decided to follow both challenges.

 

Here are the links to the 2016 challenge and the current (2017) one:

very cool indeed, Scott

Scott is the name of the bike you can just see below the words.

 

Andrew: you could try turning the torch around and tracing the frame, fork, wheels, etc. of the bike in a similar vain to the light painting. I think it would look really cool, even just worth a try
