A Cabin in the Rockies
Filed in Automattic, Breckenridge, Canon 40D, Colorado, Houses, Landscape, Nature, Photography, Photos, Sigma 18-200, Sky, Trees, United StatesA small wooden cabin or hut sits in a car park near the houses Automattic stayed in at Breckenridge in Colorado. The original shot can be seen in my Flickr stream or in the Automattic group there. This version has been extensively dodged and burned to bring out the contrast between light and dark. Late [...]

Pumpkins For Sale
Filed in Automattic, Breckenridge, Canon 10-22, Canon 40D, Colorado, Photography, Photos, United States, UrbanPumpkins for sale in the local store in Breckenridge, Colorado. I post this today because Dunnes Stores are selling pumpkins and they’re only half the size of the large pumpkins pictured here! Does anyone actually eat pumpkins? They’re a new sight in Irish shops, and are only ever for sale in the large chains around [...]

Breckenridge Sunset
Filed in Automattic, Breckenridge, Canon 10-22, Canon 40D, Colorado, Landscape, Night, Photography, Photos, Sky, Trees, United StatesThe sun sets early in Breckenridge Colorado, well slightly earlier than in Ireland anyway. Myself and Anthony were working on one part of our secret project, and Mike Adams was working on the other bit, when Michael Koenig jumped up and went outside on to the balcony. I looked up and saw gorgeous red clouds [...]

Tall trees in Oracle
Filed in Arizona, Automattic, Black and White, Canon 10-22, Canon 20D, Houses, Landscape, Photography, Photos, Sky, Trees, United States, Urban, VehiclesThese tall evergreens planted in front of a set of small houses in Oracle were almost gone before I saw them. The scene looked bizarre. Tall trees, tiny houses. I wonder who lives in them? Here it is on Google Maps. Try the Street View, you’ll see two cars pulled up in front of the [...]

It even rains in Arizona
Filed in Arizona, Automattic, Canon 10-22, Canon 20D, Photography, Photos, Rain, Sky, United States, WaterIf you’re living in Ireland, you’ve no doubt noticed that this summer hasn’t been great. Actually, I haven’t. I work at home and looking out my little window at the rest of the world is some days the closest I get to the outside world (almost!) Well anyway, this is to console you if you’re [...]

Biosphere 2
Filed in Architecture, Arizona, Automattic, Canon 10-22, Canon 20D, Landscape, Photography, Photos, Sky, United StatesBiosphere 2 lies in the dusty hot desert in Arizona. It was originally designed as a self contained “world” where scientists stayed for an extended period of time. After going through the tour, there’s no way I’d volunteer to spend my time inside. It must have been very difficult being cooped up in one building. [...]

Rushing through countryside
Filed in Arizona, Automattic, Canon 10-22, Canon 20D, Landscape, Nature, Photography, Photos, United StatesI shot this through the window of our car while driving back to the ranch after Automattic’s trip to Biosphere 2 in Arizona a few months ago. I love how the foreground blurs but the background and the sky remain motionless and static. Love the movement.

No. 2400
Filed in Architecture, Arizona, Automattic, Black and White, Canon 10-22, Canon 20D, Houses, Photos, Sky, United StatesAt Biosphere 2 in Arizona the land around the main building was sold to developers to fund the experiment and for maintenance. Unfortunately all the houses there looked very empty, but maybe that was because it was in January and in the off season.
