Mark, that's a marina. It's about 15-feet above the "normal" water level. We had flooding last spring and in 2013, that covered some of the roads that you and I road on, but did not reach the marina. We'd be in big trouble if water level got to the top of that dam. A breach and Denver would be under water. In fact, this was built primarily as a flood control dam to protect Denver. It's a back up water source, but not a primary.

You probably told me that when I was there and I just forgot. I envy you and Ed living so close to such a great wildlife sanctuaries.

Thanks Mike.

I live in a medium-rise, just out of the picture to the left. I never take the view for granted.

I missed this when you first posted it. Great flight shot Ed, with perfect focus against a tough background.

I too love duck for dinner, as well as being adjusted on my monitor.

Great start.

A separate thread would be great. I think that others will want to try this out. More and more of our cameras have the technology built right into the body.

Nice one Dave. I favored that one the other day on your Flickr.

dcstep · 12-21-2015, 09:36 AM

Thanks for the Fave, Ed.

Took this one on safari in South Africa about 5+ years ago.

The leopard was stranded in this tree as there was a small pride of lions below him just waiting for him to come down. The lions eventually moved on.

You ever use the iphone timelapse feature? It works really freaking well for being such a small package. Scary well.

Not yet but I should examine it and see how I can make it work for me. Adds another camera besides the GoPro and D800.

Wow - that juvenile red-tailed hawk is amazing, well done Dave.

Michael, I love your time-lapse sequence.
I'd love to try that sometime. I've a couple of locations in mind, but I need clear night skies.

allachie9 · 12-21-2015, 12:42 PM

I've just had my new 335i GT Luxury fully detailed and picked it up this morning.
I have to say it looks amazing.

Thanks Alan.

Actually Alan, I think you want partly cloudy skies for the best result. The moving clouds add interest IME.

It's hard to show just how big this dude is without something for scale around him, but for good reasons, the Rangers keep everyone a good ways away from a 4,000 pound horny seal
