Of course not. CMartinez and no one in his family would stoop that low. Probably a problem with the camera.
I can't figure out how that leaping ability helps him etch PCBs.

I've often thought how lucky my son and I were back in October 2002, to see Crater Lake on a crystal-clear day with absolutely no wind, and the lake surface as smooth as glass:Trip photos:

Nice! That's what I was hoping for.
This was the source of the smoke.
Fire near Yosemite by Mono Lake:
Mono Lake
The water levels are pretty high this year, most of the south tufa formations were under water.
Stock photo above when the lake levels are low.

This is amazing. Did you take this picture? I saw you said "stock photo" but not directly proceeding it
No, I didn't take it. Will fix the stock photo header.
A few more photos from the trip
Vegas was such a blast!
Disneyland is still magic for the kids.

Two days after that picture was taken, we had reached our destination at Mt. St. Helens and the good weather was still holding:
That picture was taken from Johnston Ridge, about 5 miles from the volcano. The view was just incredible.
Hello there,
This is a nice thread. The very first photo in this thread that must have come from 2015 hit me as being a picture that would make a good puzzle like i used to do as a kid, then i read that other people had the same idea. I think it would be good because there are a lot of almost the same things in it that make it hard to solve, but there are also small sections with unique items that makes ti interesting.
My first submission is going to be a little different than the others i think. This is more like "A day in the life" picture. I took it one day while waiting for a red light to change.
I think it is interesting for several reasons. First, there is a lot of stuff in the picture itself, which makes us look around to see what is there. Second, it's like life is on 'hold' while waiting for the light. Third, it shows a simple mistake in basic photography: the black car in motion looks like it is parked in the middle of the street because the shutter speed was too fast...a slower speed would have showed a little motion blur which would have made the picture more realistic.
Fourth and this one is cool: it has LOTS of lines all over the place, the power lines, the crosswalk lines, etc. These lines also illustrate one of the other basic rules in photography, that there should be no lines going perfectly horizontal or perfectly vertical that go through the entire picture. The lines in this picture are always at least a little diagonal and although there are a lot of lines, none of them completely divides the picture up into noticeable compartments, which is a big no no unless you have a special circumstance.
It also has good depth, you can see the dashboard up close in the foreground yet you can also see far down the road near the right hand side of the picture on the road that truck is traveling on.
Anyway, i hope you find this picture a little interesting at least. The main reason i took it was to make a record of that hamburger shop opening delay. One of those signs says "opening soon" but it took almost a whole year to actually open, and before that it was closed for another year due to fire in the kitchen.
The original was a very high resolution picture but i had to shrink it so it didnt take up too many bytes to post here or else some people would have a hard time downloading it or even just viewing it.

We were there when the God of the mountain was angry, we got out of there and the dust cloud followed us all the way home, 2000mls east.!

We had one guy on the ship in 1980 (we were on the other side of the planet when the eruption happened from our base in San Diego) from near Mt. St. Helens. The Navy flew him into a base in Oman by helo from the Persian Gulf for the trip back home on emergency leave to be with his family and their farm. I took my family up the mountain during the active dome period a few years ago. One day she just might just be a pointy mountain again.We were there when the God of the mountain was angry, we got out of there and the dust cloud followed us all the way home, 2000mls east.!
