A while ago my brother and I took a short hiking trip up Mt. San Gorgonio. Here’s a few pictures from there: gallery. Hope you like them.

I recently took a trip up to Oregon and Norcal; here are the pictures. We visited the Trinity Alps, Crater Lake National Park, then drove down most of the Oregon coast. A final few days we spent in Redwoods State Park up in Norcal and a few days in Point Lobos. Here are some pictures, hope you like them.

With the summer here, I find myself having more time than usual. As a result, I’ve finally managed to look through and edit all the pictures I’ve taken that I hadn’t looked at before… the oldest ones of which were from November 2008. So I’ve put them all together (they were all from London), and produced this gallery. Hope you like them.

I’ve put up a few pictures of buildings around UCR. The gallery is here.

Hopefully we have now fixed the issues with the plugin that created thumbnails for me, so I can upload pictures again. Huzzah!

Here is the first gallery from two different trips: a visit to Santa Monica and a day hike on the Big Santa Anita Loop in the Angeles National Forest. More pics to come soon, if nothing breaks.

A few weeks ago I made to March Field Airfest (http://www.marchfieldairfest.com/). It was great, got to see lots of cool planes. The ones that made the biggest impression on me were the F-22 Raptor and the C-17 Globemaster III. I just put up a gallery with some photos here. A few of them didn’t work with the plugin that is supposed to handle images for me, so, for your viewing pleasure, they are here (although in lower resolution):

And some other pictures that didn’t quite make the cut into the gallery:

Going near Mach1, turning sharp:

A Czech plane made it:

I had little to do (that I felt like doing, I suppose) this Tuesday afternoon, and the weather outside looked reasonably cloudy and windy and still nice, so I did the obvious thing to do: go out and make a time lapse video.

By the time I figured out how to get an intervalometer (you know, the thing that sets the camera off every so often – I used my graphing calculator) the clouds went away a bit, but hey, I got a video. Check it out, innit.

Mount San Gorgonio is the tallest peak in Southern California, and is less than an hour away from Riverside. Pretty cool, right? We were told we couldn’t go there without snowshoes etc., but we managed, although in places every step would land us more than knee-deep in snow.

You wake up at LAX. Pacific. You wake up at O’hare. Pacific, mountain, central. Eastern? Lose an hour, gain an hour. Central. You walk around and take some pictures and then drive drive drive away. Lose an hour, gain an hour. If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person?

The website’s been fixed! In a “well hey, if you don’t do that, it works ok” way. Basically, a photo I’d taken of a campfire broke someone’s (not mine!) plugin. So I got rid of that photo, and it works again. Our conclusion is that dark photos of fire at night are evil and should not be put on the internet, according to the plugin.

Moving on, here’s some photos from an August trip to Ansel Adams Wilderness (just south of Yosemite NP). Hope you like ‘em.

And here’s the evil fire picture (did it break your computer?):
