Pandora On Earth
 
Photography is more of an interest than a hobby of mine but since Avatar I've been looking to capture a bit of Pandora here and show Earth's beauty and why it should be so precious to us.

All of these photos were taken from the window in my bedroom (bar one photo):

Well, sadly I live no where near this beautiful place. I don't even know where it is but its astonishing beauty just reminds me of Pandora.

Indeed!! Im trying to get out more and do more. I'm training to go on the Half Dome hike again this summer. Yosemite is about 80 minute drive through the foothills and Sierra Nevada mountains. Also looking forward to volunteering in Yosemite this summer.

I'm not very good at taking photos, but I just took some pictures of my backyard, which reminds me of Pandora.

Your backyard?! Wow that really is Pandora on Earth! :D

Light Kirin 05-17-2010 10:32 PM

Thanks.

usually the first thing I do when I wake up is I go and look out the window. I often see birds flying around there, too. One came right up to the window this morning, too.

Whoa! That's your backyard? Awesome -- it must be wonderful being able to just step outdoors and have that sight waiting there for you. :)

I want to go to Hawaii and New Zealand/Australia before I die. Ireland too. I've been to Western Canada and the Sierras and know that's where I love to be.
I have some photos of flowers that are up close and personal, which I will only post two, you can see the rest in about a day on my artfire page.

This is a spring Sycamore branch with flower balls.

This is a bromeliad flower. Brilliant colors are not artificial!

Where I was a few days ago: Liberty Cap and Nevada Falls in Yosemite National Park.

I have always loved hiking through the wilderness of the Sierra Nevada mountains.
