God’s Glory: Southwest Fall Colors on The High Road to Taos
More on the High Road to Taos here. Sort of related: Doc posts some great aerial shots over the Sierra Nevada (I agree with his perspective on the landscape).

Connected, Constantly
Walking a bit on campus and State Street this evening, I was struck by the extent to which we’re connected all the time. These photos are a small snapshot of the scene, which included cell phone use everywhere, ipods and wifi computers.
Ansel Adams’ Autumn Moon Arrives
As the moon rose in the evening sky, a crowd gathered at Glacier Point to relive an iconic scene captured by photographer Ansel Adams more than 50 years ago.
About 300 amateur photographers, astronomers and other spectators came Thursday to watch conditions align to repeat the scene in the famous Adams image “Autumn Moon.”
Astronomers nailed down the exact time and date that Adams snapped the photograph in Yosemite National Park in 1948 — and determined that the sun and moon would return to the same positions Thursday.
New Orleans Photos
I last spent time in New Orleans in 2002 with several previous visits in the ’90’s. The place was in many ways beautiful, but I could always sense tension in the city. I’ve posted some photos from this visit here. A more recent set of photos, Five days with Katrina provides quite a contrast with my 2002 digital images.
