A tree wrapped in a woven covering with the peace sign on it in Reykjavik. Anyone know the story behind it?
A Peaceful Tree in Iceland
Filed in Automattic, Canon 40D, Iceland, Photos, Reykjavik, Sigma 10-20, Trees, UrbanThe Blue Lagoon, Iceland. The water is lovely warm, even quite hot in places and is full of silica and sulphur. There’s usually a smell of bad eggs in the air from the sulphur but when we visited it was definitely bacon we smelled. Really weird. A great experience except when hailstone started to fall. [...]
The Truman House

Anyway, Automattic went [...]

Filed in Arizona, Black and White, Canon 20D, Photography, Photos, Sigma 18-200, United StatesThe Historic C.O.D Ranch outside Oracle in Arizona where Automattic held a meetup in January 2008. Winter in the desert is mostly pleasant, during the day. At night it was freezing!

Emma, a small alley somewhere in San Francisco. Shot three years ago while on a photowalk around the city. Only 9 places left for the photowalk tomorrow. I emailed everyone today. Did you get your email?
The burning embers of a bonfire glow brightly in the chill Arizona night. Taken in January 2008 when Automattic visited Arizona. Here’s another shot of that fire!
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 [...]
