The bullrider photos are favorites from 2025. Not because they are technically perfect, but because they capture the spirit of the moment. Details like the rodeo clown poised to jump in and pull the cowboy out from under the bull's hoofs. The dust kicked up by the bull. Cowboys watching from the railing.

In lots of ways, I prefer watching the ladies at the rodeo. Calf roping and barrel racing are my favorite events. Catching the fast-moving action on film is fun!

I had one frame left on the roll I'd shot the rodeo with the night before. Let's just say ASA 3200 film isn't ideal for daylight photos. But I like her friendly grin. Such a nice girl.

Posted a while back (without tags, so betting few saw it). Curious to see if it reaches a wider audience with tags.
Enjoyed photographing the rodeo. First attempt at action photography. Not a fan of the off-brand 400mm f/8 reflex lens. Live and learn.

I just found this group while searching Friendica for ham radio content. Doesn't look like it's active. But I thought I'd post here in case any hams undertake the same search I did.
I'm an Australian-US dual citizen with a US license (Amateur Extra class). I live in Belgium and go back to my place in Utah during the summer. I'm a keen SOTA activator. I also dabble in digital modes, mainly VaraC.

I wouldn't say that this experience has made me a great fan of Kodak Colorplus. Maybe my exposure settings were off, but I feel that the blues in particular are undersaturated. What do people think? Did I just overexpose these? I've tweaked them a little in Lightroom.

Another view of the menhirs near a domen outside Wéris
I'd like to come back after the crop in the background is harvested and see what this scene looks like with an empty field.
How do people feel about this composition? It doesn't follow any of the standard "rules".

Neolithic menhirs in rural Wallonie. These are located near a dolmen. They cause you to ponder and imagine.

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks is an American fraternal order and charitable organization founded in 1868 in New York City. In mining towns, such organizations were important, because life was tough and men needed a support network when they were toiling far from home.

Structure used to store ore at a mining operation before shipping it to the mill for processing. These old timber ore bins are scattered across the West.

Much as I like strolling the cobblestone streets of Europe, admiring architecture from centuries ago, there's something about the American West that draws me back. Wild. Rugged. Still untamed. Hoping my new mineral exploration venture comes together soon. Want to spend more time there.

Guess what camera I shot this with. Film was Agfa APX 400. Testing a thrift store find in Saint-Vaast, Belgium.

Went to #Neuschwanstein Castle today. Overrun with tourists. You'd think seasoned travellers like us would know better.
Protest monument in Budapest
We came across this informally constructed Holocaust memorial by Liberty Square. It was assembled by Hungarian citizens angered by the Orban government's attempt to rewrite history with its Memorial for Victims of the German Occupation. The government monument's message is seen by some as portraying Hungary solely as a victim of Nazi Germany, ignoring its complicity for the Holocaust.
As Americans, we are seeing a Federal government bent on suppressing history.

Fun activation today. But I learned a couple of things: catching a lift then hiking the rest of the way to the summit beside the piste is harder than you'd think, and paying for parking and the lift makes for an expensive activation. Still, it was nice to get into the mountains again after months in Belgium.

Doudou: annual festival in Mons, Belgium, centered on a religious procession of St. Waudru's relics and a folkloric battle between St. George and a dragon. This little sculpture on the stair rail depicts the dragon puppet forming a key part of the festival.

I haven't bothered with Friendica for a few months because I don't have a lot of connections here and it didn't seem that active. Giving it another try. Basically, Friendica, Pixelfed, Bluesky and Mammoth haven't lived up to the hype for me. I still keep going back to Facebook because that's where everyone else I communicate with is.
Anyway, yesterday I hiked 4 miles up the canyon near my house, gaining about 3,400 ft in elevation. I reached alpine meadows on sunset, then hiked back down, mainly by the light of my headlamp. I took my wife's old Canon EOS 500D DSLR and took these shots. I love the way the setting sun lights up the aspen and dry, yellow grass. The hazy shadows of mountain ranges in the distance at sunset is something I never tire of looking at.

It's not just a job, it's a fucking adventure.
Clint Eastwood's character wasn't talking about mineral exploration geophysics. But he should have!
Here's me (wearing the keffiya) in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia, training a local operator on EM data acquisition with an antiquated GDP-32 multi-function receiver. Probably one of the toughest jobs I've ever done. Six weeks is a long time to spend out there, particularly eating the local food. I got sick, frozen, nearly stranded by a navigationally-challenged driver and dodgy 4WD, rode a camel, ate lots of horse meat, drank fermented camel milk and Mongolian vodka (quite good, actually), did a lot of hiking, had the bus ride from Hell between the Chinese border and Ulaan Baatar via Dalanzadgad, and experienced the culture.
We got back from a 1 week trip to Morocco last night, flying out of Tangier. This photo is from the Saadian Tombs in Marrakesh. Islamic art is wonderful!
This was our first trip to Morocco. We'll be back. The architecture and decorative arts are beautiful. The food is wholesome and tasty. The hospitality of the people is warm. The landscapes are varied - from the Sahara to the Atlas Mountains to the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts. At no time did we feel threatened, though you can definitely find trouble here if you are unwise. People selling stuff in the souks can be a bit over the top, but it's easy to deal with and they are generally more polite than sellers in other places we've visited. Just go. It's a great place for an adventure.
Natalie and I spend our weekends exploring the region around our place in Belgium. We've been living here since August 2024, temporarily leaving our home in Utah while Natalie works for the US government. Now our kids are semi-independent, it's our time to have an adventure. #midlife #midlifecareershift #midlifeadventure
The ruins of the Abbey of Villers-de-Ville (from 1197 CE), a site of the Cistercian Order, are spectacular. Well worth spending a morning exploring.
