2012 SOU Volleyball Camp
Today wraps up SOU’s volleyball camp which has been happening this week. Last week it was a volleyball camp at Oregon State University. August will be filled with practices and tryouts for the Ashland High School team. Exciting times…
Fenway Park turns 100-years old
After a four-day break for the All-Star Game, Major League Baseball resumes play today.
I took today’s photo at Fenway Park in Boston after the game we saw a couple weeks ago.
View from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade
Moments after Mother Nature unleashed about an inch of rain, today’s photo captures the view from Brooklyn of Lower Manhattan. To the far left is the Statue of Liberty and to the far right is the Brooklyn Bridge. I took this picture about an hour before taking this one.
Exsanguination @ Musichead
Musichead had three bands play last night. The fourth cancelled. First up was Exsanguination from Brookings.

New York sunset
Sunset from Brooklyn's Dumbo (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass)
We had some crazy weather on our trip to New York. In addition to the heat I mentioned yesterday, we had some thunder and lightning. After a downpour, I took today’s photo. We had planned to walk back over the Brooklyn Bridge (on the left) after dinner in DUMBO, but another storm hit before we finished eating so we took the subway instead.
That’s the Manhattan Bridge on the right over the East River. In the distance, you can see the new WTC 1 nearing completion.
My friend Nelson made some minor adjustments to my original photo to come up with what you see pictured above.
Yankee Stadium panorama
Panorama view from Section 224, Row 1 in New Yankee Stadium
The year was probably 1977 or 1978. I was about 9 years old. The setting was my home, and I was watching TV–not just any TV, but the NBC baseball “Game of the Week” which came on most Saturdays after “This Week in Baseball.” Mickey Rivers was the batter, and the location was Yankee Stadium. The field looked frightfully hot as the players were sweating and the sun danced off of Rivers’ helmet in strange ways. At that moment I subconsciously put a visit to Yankee Stadium on my bucket list.
Flash forward 30-something years and I was in a similar scene. Rivers wasn’t batting and Yankee Stadium got a face lift, but the sun and heat were the same. I took today’s photo (photos actually as this is a photomerge of 10 wide angle pics) 10 days ago. The reason the seats around me are mostly open was because it was brutally hot–over 95 degrees with high humidity. I could only stand it for a couple innings myself, and then I moved to a shady seat on the first base side.
Tommy Hanson was pitching for the Atlanta Braves and Derek Jeter was at bat for the New York Yankees in the above picture. I was actually much closer to the field than the photo makes things appear. The first row of the second deck (main level) is a wonderful place to sit (if the weather is reasonable) as you have tons of leg room, no one walks in front of you, and you are closer to the field than any other second deck (that I’ve been on) in baseball.
Beacon Hill
Our trip to the East Coast (New York and Boston) came to an end yesterday. Today’s photo is of the place we lodged at in Boston, 23 Temple Street. I’ll post more photos from Boston here.
Coquille River sunrise
I have trouble sleeping on vacation. I don’t know if it’s the different bed or what, but my vacation insomnia allows me to get photos like this when I’m travelling as I’m usually up and about before dawn. I only had my wide angle lens with me at the time, which is a bit of a shame as a close up of the fog in the distant trees with this kind of lighting may have been pretty cool if I had a lens with more reach.
