Re: Non-Robotic Related Hobbies

I have WAY TOO MANY hobbies, according to my wonderful wife!
So, I now try to combine them so that the total count "appears" to be a bit less.

As an example, two of my hobbies are Backpacking and Landscape Photography.
These two lend them selves perfectly to being combined.

Quite often, my goal is to tell a story with the pictures, or transport the viewer to where they may never get a chance to go.

Here are a couple shots that exemplify my efforts.


This is a panorama of 1000 Island Lake with Banner Pk in the back ground. his was taken during a trip along a segment of the John Muir Trail.


Sunset from our campsite that evening.


Jake, taking it all in.

These are the gentlemen I got to share this recent adventure with. Taken at 11,100ft on top of Donahue Pass between Yosemite NP and the Inyo National Forest.
