You are now going to have to go into those closets with the wire mesh and say "bless me father, for I have sinned"

That's a great photo Ernesto. Sorta make a guy want to stop social media, beer drinking and join the choir.
Right!? I have not been for quite awhile.
I know my taste in photos is different, but I liked this shot of an abandoned farm through the tombstones.

"Different" is much more fun than the same shot anyone else can get. Lots of sunsets out there Rusty, but looking for the type of subject you showed makes you wonder............ who ...how many children .....why did they leave. Not much of a story behind a sunset ..........which we all do.
I went with a friend to the Eagle Cap Wilderness area in far eastern Oregon on August 3rd 1975.......... don't ask how I remember that date.
We rode in on horsies with a pack mule and guide. Once to our destination we hiked about two miles up to Pocket Lake. The elevation was 8200ft. Highest place I have ever been.
Wished I would have had a camera back then. Even in August the lake was 30% covered in ice and the last tenth of a mile was on a snowpack covered boulder trail. Beneath us under the snow, it sounded like a large waterfall........... kinda scary. ................but I lived to tell the tale.
Way back down at camp, there was a snow pile 3 feet tall and 40 feet long to keep our food cold. That was my very novice introduction to 'altitude'. It's cold up there in summer. .......ok, more like cool.

A couple ocean pics from the cruise ship.

Yeah it gets really difficult above 10,000 ft. The williams trail startsnat 10,300.
I live virtually at sea level. 16 to 18 hours after we were at our destination, rode 7or 8 miles on horsies and began unpacking and set camp at 7400 feet.
The next morning, my friend who had been at this place 10 years earlier in Boy Scouts said " I think that "Pocket Lake" is between this peak................. and that one.
..........or that one and the other one.
Well, ...............he ended up deciding correctly and we arrived about 1000 feet higher at Pocket Lake. I wished that we had all our gear with us. I'd rather stayed up at the lake overnight instead of heading back to camp.
Funny thing is............. I was 17 (almost 18) years old then.............. and honestly, I don't recall even slightly, the elevation being a concern. I never noticed any breathing difficulty at all. If I made that trip today, I certainly would.
10,000 feet.................... damn, I don't think I'd like that. My old Chevy pickup ran like crap at 7000 feet at Crater Lake. While there one time, I sealed an empty plastic Pepsi bottle at 6000 feet. When I got back home (sea level), it was about 25% decompressed. I still have that bottle sealed tight....... 21+ years later the bottle is still sucked flat. Bottle date is 10/16/95...... good gaskets they put on them one-time-use soda bottles.

Sunrise a few days ago.
Our sunset looked sorta like that last night.
........except for the 100% cloud cover, the darkness, wind, and 5 inches of continuous rainfall.
Took this Wednesday afternoon while in the parking lot of a local grocery store. I thought it was kinda cool looking.
Looks kind of like one of those rainbow clouds.
Who cares when ya got a picture like that.
