Moderators mountainborn Posted May 11, 2008 Moderators Posted May 11, 2008 Seems like one of the things we enjoy about being on the road and out of doors, is watching the sunrise and set. I'll bet it is the same with a lot of folks. We try to capture the wonderful moment on film, from time to time, and bet that others do too. Lets see some of those great sunrise / sunset photos from your travels ! > Jug Fishing Sunset Lake Greeson, Arkansas 2006. A front was coming out of the North West that evening and the line of clouds caused the sun's rays to fan out beautifly. The storm scattered the jugs all over the place, but we had a good catch.

Moderators mountainborn Posted May 12, 2008 Author Moderators Posted May 12, 2008 Rotten, Tom, You're just plain ol' roten ! A man after my own heart ! > Sunrise video in April of 2006. Yep we're a' jug fishin' again ! This ten second video catches the sun just it peeks over the horizon and sprays a fan of color over our jug fishing world ! > The engine in "HARM'S WEIGH" is idling and Butcherknife is telling me "Hey ! Let's get in gear ! " Just a few brief seconds later I shot this video, and the light had just totally changed. > By now Butcherknife is saying, "alright now, enough already, let's go get them fish !

andrew Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 Do I have to keep these limited to photos I have taken while camping? I have quite a few that I have taken at home that I may post if I get the time.
Moderators mountainborn Posted May 13, 2008 Author Moderators Posted May 13, 2008 Good one, andrew, where was it taken ? I would rather wake up in the middle of nowhere than in any city on earth 08' Oliver Legacy Elite HULL NUMBER 0003(sold)
andrew Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Good one, andrew, where was it taken ? It was taken on the road, on the way home from Hackberry. I am not sure if it was on Route 66 or on I40, but somewhere there. I went through some of my other sunset pics and posted a few them The rest of these are from our backyard at home. I still haven't gotten one that is "the one" for the mural on the trailer. I am still trying though.
earthdancer Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Wow Andrew, very nice sunset photos! This one was taken after Chuck and I had a perfect day, picnic at Indian Pass where about 9 dolphin were playing in the pass between the mainland and St Vincent's Island. We had a great time riding on the beach and me just showing him my neck of the woods from Cape San Blas, FL to Eastpoint, FL. On the way home, I noticed this sunset in my rear view mirror.... pulled over at 10 mile road and got one quick shot before the mosquitos ate us alive! Enjoy. Geri Sunset at ten mile.jpg

andrew Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 We went back to Hackberry again, although it is getting a bit warm during the day, we are going to have to either stay home and swim in the pool, bring more gas for the generator, run the AC and hide inside during the day or find another place to camp where it is cooler. The nights are beautiful though!
Moderators mountainborn Posted June 8, 2008 Author Moderators Posted June 8, 2008 Dog gone it Tom ! Ya' had me convinced. Cool photo though. Now wouldn't that be a nifty boondocking/camping trip !

tumbleweed Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 Y'all just gonna' have to come down our way to see some. Lake Gleeson did put on a great show though. I am looking forward to your next gathering, wherever it may be!! Regards, Chuck
technomadia Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 I wonder what it would take to upgrade the Oliver to handle Martian conditions... The double paned windows are a good start. We'd probably want an airlock too...
tumbleweed Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 And the double hulled construction!!!! Would need lotsa' "Lizard Skin" also! The double shock absorber with nitrogen filled 8 ply tires. Talk about a custom!!!! Chuck
Moderators bugeyedriver Posted June 10, 2008 Moderators Posted June 10, 2008 Well, first of all I was trying to figure out the mechanics behind Tom's "remote clicking" of a camera using the awning center brace . . . secondly, I was wondering what kind of lens would make the sun on the horizon appear so tiny. I guess if the picture is taken 48,678,200 miles further away from the sun than the earth that pretty much explains it. After my encounter with the Whaleys in Hohenwald, TN and watching their posts with the crafty twists of logic I should have known to be aware of their highly developed sense of humor. I'd like to think I wouldn't be caught again, but they're really, really good at it! Look out Ya'll Pete & "Bosker". TV - '18 F150 Super-cab Fx4; RV - "The Wonder Egg"; '08 Elite, Hull Number 014.

technomadia Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 The real interesting question... What would you use for a tow vehicle on Mars??? *grin*
stuartw Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Here's a picture that I took from Mallory Square (Key West) in the fall of 2003. Cheers! Stuart
Moderators mountainborn Posted June 11, 2008 Author Moderators Posted June 11, 2008 Now, Stuart, that is a mighty fine photo ! I would rather wake up in the middle of nowhere than in any city on earth 08' Oliver Legacy Elite HULL NUMBER 0003(sold)
stuartw Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Thanks, I appreciate that! Sometimes you just get lucky; in this case my camera didn't quite know what to do staring straight into the sun so it picked an exposure that created some very interesting effects ... other photos taken just about the same time were quite different. I've found that one of the really neat things about digital cameras is that the film and developing are essentially free, so why not take way too many pictures and simply delete the ones that don't work out? Cheers, Stuart

Moderators mountainborn Posted July 4, 2008 Author Moderators Posted July 4, 2008 We overnighted at Monahans Texas, in the Sand Hills State Park, down on I-20, just East of the I-20 / I-10 split. Breakfast was behind us and as I walked outside with a cup of Coffee, to start the pre travel chores, the sun was just beginning to peek over the horizon. > > I would rather wake up in the middle of nowhere than in any city on earth 08' Oliver Legacy Elite HULL NUMBER 0003(sold)
Moderators SeaDawg Posted September 27, 2010 Moderators Posted September 27, 2010 We camped three nights near Campobello, Roosevelt's summer home in New Brunswick. We seemed to get up earlier and go to bed later each day as there was so much to see... whales, seals, the amazing tides of Fundy Bay, eagles, and, on our last morning, this amazing sunrise: What a splendid way to start the day!
