Some SEP2 this morning - Break at Palisade Creek to cool down. Steps from the Muir Trail, but still very private, as most hikers are too busy putting their miles in and don't see gems like this over their Fitbits and smart phones telling them to keep on walking...

good start Luka - be careful though, shooting people in the street can turn out to be addictive : look at what has happened to the poor Ben….
Thank you Philippe, I will see. Look what I took after the previous shot.

They remind me the look some Team Penske mechanics gave me back in 2000 after I took a photo of the underside of their Indycar they had lifted up for some quick adjustment in pit lane.
To be able to walk away without an unfortunate accident, I had to leave my film with them...
**Very true, Peter. The biggest reason that I used to backpack was that it allowed me to be in places I would otherwise rush thru, since I could linger and stay around, and setup camp wherever. If I could have sherpas follow me around and handle all that stuff, and I just had to worry about just soaking in the experience all the better, I think. There's a unique feeling that comes from backpacking and being sufficient in the backcountry.
**Wonderful capture Luka. Love the colors, and the symmetry in the signs, windows, and the bicycles.

**That's enough to make me keep to "Almost Street Photography", Phillipe :-)
***edit - well that attempt at multiple quotes did not work.......I'll just add asterisks to highlight the separate comments I guess.
Adding a fisheye, early morning fog shot. The colors are so vibrant that in some cases I'm processing shots with a negative saturation Just using Adobe's "Camera Standard" profile, no other color boosts other than white balance and tonal adjustments.
Lone Pince, CA deep in the Owens Valley behind the Alabama Hills, seen from Mount Whitney's summit. Red and white lights indicate some late night activity at Iceberg Lake deep below, while red streaks of light along the Whitney Portal Road are traffic from the mountain to tow. Lights going left to right are cars zooming through the bottom of the valley on US 395.
Lone Pine is more than 10,000 feet below the Whitney summit. In the distance the Inyo Mountains and lights glowing in the south, likely Barstow or Lancaster.
