Fun with Photoshop AI-Generated Images
I woke up in the middle of the night and thought I should try out the AI-generated filter in Photoshop. Somehow I started with Dinosaurs Samurai and ended with Dinosaurs mariachi band.
A Winter’s Fog
I woke up today and looked outside, still hoping for surprise snow. Instead, I discovered a misty Monday morning. Put on a coat, grab the camera, and click click click. I played with all the filters today!!! Did I plan for all the filters to create a dark fairy-tale vibe? Yes, but it was easy!
Visiting Utah
Part Eight Today’s trip was to Arches National Park at “The Fins,” where the rock formations are flat triangles, hence the name “Fins.” It’s a short drive from Moab, but the clouds overtook the sky, so no night photography and the sunset was a bit drab in color. Sometimes, the weather works against you, IContinue reading “Visiting Utah”

Part Six Headed out to Canyonlands National Park for sunset and the Night Sky. A couple was standing out on the edge, taking wedding photos. I would be too worried to do that; a strong wind could push you off the edge, and a bird could poop on you; it seems like a bad idea.Continue reading “Visiting Utah”
Visiting Utah
Part Five The next leg of the trip is driving from Bryce to Moab, a small town near loads of national and state parks. The only non-potty or food break was Kodachrome State Park. For those of us whose first camera was digital, I will explain the name. Kodachrome was the first color film createdContinue reading “Visiting Utah”

Part Four I made it to the hotel, stretched out my legs, had dinner, and then a five-minute drive to the Sunset Point at Bryce National Park. The Sunset Point is a long, curving path with lots of room to capture the view. Make sure to check out the path to the canyon, I foundContinue reading “Visiting Utah”
Visting Utah
Part Three It was time to leave the Bison behind and continue to Bryce; once you leave Salt Lake City, the road opens to 80 MPH, and you can just hit the cruise control and listen to some road trip music. After a lunch break, it is time to leave the Highway/Interstate/Motorway for Scenic RouteContinue reading “Visting Utah”

Part Two First full day in Utah, a restful night’s sleep and a good breakfast is a great way to start the day. Day two was the slow drive down to Ruby’s Inn, a few miles outside of Bryce Canyon National Park. Ruby’s is a loge, RV, and Camping area with a restaurant, gift shop,Continue reading “Visiting Utah”
Visting Utah
Part 1: Hot flight I had a two-part flight to Salt Lake City; the first leg of the journey was rough. It was five hours in a hot plane with a manspreading beside me. The flight should have left around 4:00 PM, but it sat in 100F weather for an hour, fully loaded with people,Continue reading “Visting Utah”
Be Sick When You Travel
That’s a good clickbait title, but what happens if you don’t feel well on a one-in-a-lifetime trip? I have health issues that have stopped me from doing activities; it happens. You need to know yourself, how your body/medical issues will react, and make peace with not going and doing something else that is fun. IContinue reading “Be Sick When You Travel”
Why is Leonardo Divenci buried in France?
Visiting France Part 3 I saw a lot of Chateau the first few days, and Chateau Royal d’Amboise was unexpected because Leonardo (the artist, not the TMNT) Divenci was buried there. The Chapel of Saint-Hubert on the Chateau grounds, it’s just a large stone slab in the private/small Chapel. It’s odd to find the famousContinue reading “Why is Leonardo Divenci buried in France?”
