Hi all, just a mid-day post on a friday. Unfortunately, I have no time for art of any kind, so I'll just kinda throw some olddd photos here. Hoping to have more posts tomorrow ☻

These appear to be cedar trees

(Disclaimer: these photos were taken by my dad a long time ago, but I have full rights! But... I really don't know what the heck is going on, so I'm making stuff up.)

A lake of some sort

This is getting monotonous...

...but I had two last minute dump trucks of work to throw me off... Don't you wish there were 36 hours in a day?

I don't remember these photos being so boring...

They seemed interesting when I first found 'em...

Sooooo... I've heard...

...that this national park actually has a waiting list for people to visit it... Maybe there's gold or something in the water, I certainly wouldn't visit for the scenery. I don't even see escalators, so I'd have to walk everywheres.

Take a peek at this peak!

That's it for now.

Much appreciated! Thanks for beholding my blah-post. I will now proceed to b̶o̶t̶-̶v̶o̶t̶e̶ ̶i̶t̶ ̶i̶n̶t̶o̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶u̶p̶p̶e̶r̶ ̶s̶t̶r̶a̶t̶o̶s̶p̶h̶e̶r̶e̶ let in languish in pathetic isolation! :D

The photos of your father are really beautiful and I think it is a very beautiful place to visit and get to know him. ;)

Nature!!! Weren't there any sneezy snakes?

Those are nice shots, Your Dad took nice photos of nature, esp. when Cameras were not that powerful as of today!

Great pictures! I have been there. Now I want to go back!

Is there really a waiting list now? Is that a bit overkill?

I didn't know about the list.

Yep, that's what I've heard, anyway... </3 '

I guess the large amount of visitors was leaving wear & tear.

Go Dad Go! AHHA he was quite the adventurer! They are cool photos, but you know me I just eat this stuff up.

It's definitely like a different world there...

Yeah! Looks really arid and calm, although I'm thinking cougars and mountain goats. Some rattlesnakes? :)

I'd be curious about what year these were taken in because I notice some geoengineering.

I was thinking that too! Esp. on the mountain peak view. I'll have to find out.

Your father has a great eye. The place looks special to me because I haven't been anywhere that looks like that! The trees look like they are barely hanging on to the rocky terrain. Color is great too!

Glad you like 'em! I tend to make fun of my non-art posts, because I'm terrified people won't like 'em and I'd like to beat them to it :D

Ha ha... your creativity is always evident art or non art!

Even when I'm technically posting someone else's work :D

Yes your self-deprecating presentation is the creative part!

I can find myself relaxing here lol

I can too, it's pretty serene, although it must have been extremely hot temps :)

Lol. Good descriptions there. You've captioned them well. :)

I wonder if there are any "drop bears" there? :)

(Just learned about drop bears yesterday, so I'm using them in every other s̶e̶n̶t̶e̶n̶c̶e̶ paragraph today.)

Lol. So, it's word of the day then?

I'm thinking they probably aren't in that environment though, sorry. Regular bears? yes, drop bears? not so much.

I was just clicking your page and wow you posted something!

I know! I almost didn't have time... but... I had some spare photos laying around fortunately :)

Those are lovely shots

@overkillcoin thanks for sharing, it's better than nothing! haha but honestly cool pics, I've never seen Mount Whitney. Why was your dad there, a hiking or camping trip or something??

He used to be employed by the national park service, so it was his work to hang around such places. :)

Thanks awesome, keep sharing the pics :)

Outstanding photography. This photography is so nice. I like it

Your capture is wonderful and truly expressive and the environment and place is really awesome for photography.. .. @overkillcoin


The photos or the post is not boring at all.
The photos of the lake are very beautiful with the reflections on the water! Thank you for sharing! Have a great weekend!

Awesome photo's that your dad took... looks like an amazing place

Looks like a paradise to me..
