[Cammalu]

You should post all your great photos more often. I’m pretty damn jealous of your travels. I love the old stuff.

 

[highdesertranger]

just for you Cammalu I will start updating this thread. highdesertranger

 

[highdesertranger]

so I really want to apologize for taking so long to update this thread.  there is really no excuse.

I have several picture of a herd of Big Horn Sheep that were up behind that real nice stone cabin in post #56.  however we were quite far away and I have tried several times edit the pictures.  I estimate we were 3/4 of a mile away.

the pictures I zoomed in and could hold the camera steady you can see the sheep,  but that was very few pictures as most of them were blurry.

I needed to cut the pixels(quality) down which I have no problem doing.  but then I needed to crop the image and then blow it up to make it viewable.  well I could do all that and I could view them on my lap top but when I go to save them they disappear.  or they go some where on my computer that I have no idea where.  LOL

so in the next post I will post a few pictures just for the sake of moving on.

so without further ado here we go,


so believe it or not in this picture there are 11 Big Horn Sheep.  see what I mean just looking at the picture you really don't see any but they are there.  they are around that bald spot that is in the center right of the pic.


in this pic you can see 4 of them.  well three and a half anyway.  the big one is well aware of our presence he/she are looking right at us.  note that this picture was taken at exactly the same spot as the first one.  what a difference,  my camera does have an awesome zoom.  but it was real hard to hold steady as the was a moderate breeze that day and even leaning on my 4wheeler a lot of the pictures blurred.


you can see three in this pic.  I think these were all young rams as they were separated from the main herd a little.  they are still in the frame of the first picture.

so that's about it for the sheep.  all in all I had over 20 pictures but between the blur and not knowing how to edit these are the only ones I am going to post.

actually if you click on the picture it opens in a new window. then at least on my computer you can click on them again and it blows them up a little more. doing that on the first pic and you can see some of the sheep.

now for a complete change of scenery here we go,


yes, we drove to the Swiss alps


truly awe inspiring


this is my view looking out the back doors of my trailer. this is one of my favorite boondocking spots


zoomed to cut out the darkness of the trailer


this just shows my desk in the trailer.  all this was just a temporary arrangement  for the summer.
