SADDLE MOUNTAIN. It's incredible for taking pictures. Out by the coast, I can let you know where it is.

I really like this one, it expresses what the person on the train is viewing on a curve. They were able to capture many different aspects of what was going on. Water-falls, houses, mountains, sky, clouds, and even what seems to be another person looking out the window, enjoying the scenery like everyone else.

From his birth on February 20, 1902, to his his unavoidable death in April of 1984, Ansel Adam left his legacy for the world to fall in love with. His patience when taken photographs led to his world-wide popularity in the art-form. When he was a child he attended public school, but due to his hyper-active tendencies he was placed into a private education. As life continued, he became a professional piano player, but his true passion was for photography. In 1927 he made his first fully visualized photograph -- The Face of Half Dome. He was an avid activist for the cause of the wilderness, and environment that pictures of. But, not only was he a photographer, he described himself as a; lecturer, writer. and communicator. He traveled the country, looking for beauty, and serenity among the land he so dearly loved.

FOUND FACES

 In a world where pain is so prevalent, little things can often help ease the feeling. Those of you who see no escape from this burden are wrong. Talk to others, you might be surprised about how many people are willing to help. The constant pain can be suppressed with little to no effort. Even if happiness isn't at the forefront thoughts choosing to smile like I do, everyday, will eventually overthrow the pain.

SORRY ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THESE PICTURES, I'M SHOOTING WITH A 52mm LENS. ITS PRETTY HARD TO GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO TAKE THEM.
