Bridalveil Runoff

1917 1920 Liberty Thermionics

Another part of the runoff of Bridalveil falls. Towards the end of the summer this is a large rocky area that you can climb all over and even all the way up to where the falls break, in the winter/spring it’s hard to navigate without getting a case of wet-foot, or pick up a clinger. Jason picked up a clinger…

Bridalveil Runoff

1899 1920 Liberty Thermionics

The area immediately below Bridalveil is responsible for diverting all of the water that rolls over the falls into the merced river which is probably about a quarter of a mile away. I don’t know how authentic the runoff area is as it looks like there’s been some major work done over the years to facilitate visitors to the base…

1920 1915 Liberty Thermionics

There are lots of things in a flowing river that will get wedged from time to time two of the most popular being rocks and trees – at least in this part of the world.

Bridal Veil Falls Runoff

1911 1920 Liberty Thermionics

We just returned from the Strawberry Music Festival which took place up near the Hetch Hetchy.

Seattle Skyline

1919 1920 Liberty Thermionics

We left Port Townsend the next morning and took the Kingston Ferry into Edmonds which put us just outside of Seattle. We drove directly to Paseo for a cuban sandwich. Now i’ve had a lot of sandwiches – and my share of Cuban sandwiches – but this was by far the best. If you’re in Seattle make a point to…

Death Valley – Devil’s Racetrack

1920 1919 Liberty Thermionics

I’ve been busy – or at least trying to maintain my motivation – scanning all of the film from our trip to Death Valley last month. It’s a pretty daunting thing to get home from work every day and have a thick pile of Print Files staring you in the eye let me tell you! To help cope with that…

Somehow this ice has survived the snow melt and running water by being on just the right rock.
