Considering my nearly complete disconnect from photography in 2010 (not by choice, by circumstance) I thought that this was a fitting image and by coincidence, if there is such a thing, it's of fire. Nothing cleanses nature quite like fire. It burns away the old so nature can start fresh again (ok I'm using a little poetic license. So shoot me. ISO 100, 1/125th @f8 please.)
Time to clean some sensors, rearrange the lens bag, and get back to the joy of capturing life with my time machines.
Man, does that look warm! I just came in from outside (roughly right around the freezing mark) after 2 hours of shooting and a bonfire would be LOVELY right about now.
It's great having you back, Michael. Looking forward to seeing your wonderful images again.
