"Its the wildest ride in the wilderness!"

I survived! It was a long weekend of parties and screaming kids but I made it to the other side! Thank you for your Bday wishes to Clarity! I let her read them all! We spent two days at Disneyland with Clarity and a couple of her friends. Good thing I had my camera with me to play with! This is a shot from Thunder Mountain, a roller-coaster in Frontier Land. Its a hair raiser! :) All joking aside I had a great time with her and she thought this was the best Bday ever! Just what I wanted to hear!!
You're so lucky to be near Disneyland - I've never gone! You're kids must have a blast. Happy belated to your girl. :)

Fav! I'm a sucker for shots like this. What can I say? It's eye candy! Textures out the wazoo! And wood... love the grain of the wood panels!
March 7th, 2012  
Great light and shadows! Love the textures and processing too! Glad you survived! You are so talented!
March 7th, 2012  
really love the effort that they put in to make you feel like you are not in current everyday routines.
March 7th, 2012  
Great warmth in this capture. I also like the textures.
March 7th, 2012  
So glad to hear eveyone had a great time. A great shot as well.

There is a lot to look at in this shot yet it doesn't look cluttered.
March 7th, 2012  
Great shot, love all the details. Wonderful tones and editing
March 7th, 2012  
Cool shot
March 7th, 2012  
Love this Jerry. Great processing.
March 7th, 2012  
My kids are desperate to visit Disneyland ... maybe one day! Love the thought and detail Disney put into the rides like this one! Glad to hear you survived!
March 7th, 2012  
Rob
Great shot. love the tones
March 7th, 2012  
i love the tones here...good one
March 7th, 2012  
Great tonal processing and well composed!
March 7th, 2012  
nice tones, processing and i like the framing
March 7th, 2012  
Hey your back! I was getting worried you stopped
March 7th, 2012  
Sounds like everyone had a blast! What a fantastic shot this is, I love the textures and tones!
March 7th, 2012  
I love your man photo antidote to the all girls weekend! This is so clever - and a really great photo. I'm so glad you hear Clarity had such a great day.
March 7th, 2012  
@lauriehiggins Lol! You caught that! I made sure there was no pink in this shot! :o)
March 7th, 2012  
I love the warm light!
March 7th, 2012  
@alovelycupoftea Thanks, Dawn!
March 7th, 2012  
Great shot. I remember that ride well. Sounds like you had a blast!
March 7th, 2012  
@madamelucy :D We did! Its nice to get a little rest tho! :) That's my age speaking!
March 7th, 2012  
that's some really neat textures! and i like how the shadows cast over the tools!
March 7th, 2012  
Yep, I did notice the lack of pink and it totally delighted me. That's part of the fun of 365 - to watch for themes. It can't all be about gorgeous landscapes, although I adore those.
March 7th, 2012  
Love this shot. Thunder Mountain is one of my favorite rides at Disneyland. Sounds like you had fun.
March 7th, 2012  
This is great. Love the lighting and processing. I agree, the textures are amazing! Glad the bday weekend was a big success!
March 7th, 2012  
Great lighting and love the textures and your processing! So glad to hear you survived the parties!
March 7th, 2012  
nice sharp view, love the tones; now that you have set the bar you better start preparing for next year :)
March 7th, 2012  
So pleased you've survived. This is a super shot.
March 7th, 2012  
This is great. The shadows are amazing, I would have never guessed it was Disneyland. There really is beauty to be found everywhere.
March 7th, 2012  
Well done survivor!!! Love the processing!
March 7th, 2012  
The "clarity" is perfect! Pun intended, but I mean it in every way! :-)
So next year will it be Disneyworld on Florida or Disneyland in Tokyo?
March 7th, 2012  
Fantastic lighting and processing!
March 7th, 2012  
I thought this was from a wooden shack deep in the forest, don't Disney do it well! Sounds like the best bday present ever!
March 7th, 2012  
Great shot i love the lighting too
March 7th, 2012  
Like all the old gear and processed colours
March 7th, 2012  
Great lighting and clarity. Feels like you can reach out and grab something.
March 7th, 2012  
well done for surviving
March 7th, 2012  
:D congrats! like your pic, it tells a story, no, it tells tones of stories! ;)
March 7th, 2012  
Great objects and editing! You wouldn't think it was captured at Disneyland!
March 7th, 2012  
Great shot, love your processing really brings out the textures & shadows! Wonderful that Clarity enjoyed her birthday so much & wow Disney a dream of mine which I don't think will come true but I'll live it through you guys :)
March 7th, 2012  
Some awesome details here, and really eye-catching treatment! Sounds like you had a lot of fun.....!
March 7th, 2012  
Cool processing and interesting subject!!
March 7th, 2012  
Glad to hear that you survived your "ordeal"! Bet you loved every minute of it! Fab shot - full of wonderful shapes and textures!
March 7th, 2012  
Fantastic textures and light.
March 7th, 2012  
Very cool shot! Love the parallel you've drawn here!
March 7th, 2012  
just fabulous processing! nice to see you back (and me too, I guess - cuz I've been mia) :)
March 7th, 2012  
@stepheesue Good to see you too, Steph! :D
March 7th, 2012  
@timandelke Lol! Thank you, Elke!
March 7th, 2012  
Love the processing!
March 7th, 2012  
Glad you had such a fantastic time. Treasure these moments because before you know it they'll be leaving home :o( This is a brilliant shot. Perfect processing. I could almost reach out and touch it, it looks so 3D! xx
March 7th, 2012  
Great composition, and I love the textures - I bet it would good in black & white too!
March 7th, 2012  
amazing textures and processing
March 7th, 2012  
Nice set of irons ...cool textures, like this shot
March 7th, 2012  
fav! love this photo
March 8th, 2012  
This is fabulous!! Reminds me of my shed at camp. I may need to take a photo of it next time I am there!!!
March 8th, 2012  
Neat lighting with the shadows!
March 8th, 2012  
Wow, this looks more "legit" than I usually think of Disney props. Great find and beautiful light.
March 8th, 2012  
Great rich shot.
March 8th, 2012  
Tones and textures are amazing!
March 8th, 2012  
Without the processing, this would just be a bunch of stuff on the wall. As so many before me have said, great shadows and the texture in all the timber. Disneyland is being heavily promoted in Aus at present, as the ultimate family adventure. Maybe it's the strong Aussie dollar. It's about the only time we'd afford a trip like that...
March 8th, 2012  
Awesome textures and processing! So much metal and detail to look at!!! Great shot! So glad the birthday was a hit!!!!
March 8th, 2012  
@sheliwithani Oh really! It is a fun place to be! When you come down I'll give you the grand tour! ;)
March 8th, 2012  
@kdimagery She had a blast! She said, "If my tenth birthday is like this, I can't wait to see my sixteenth!" I'm in trouble!!
March 8th, 2012  
CLARITY!!!!!!!, I adore her name!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!

I LOVE the wild west, its like a weird guilty pleasure! wow in a roller coaster, no one would ever guess!!!!!
March 8th, 2012  
Very cool!!
March 8th, 2012  
I love the shadows here - they add so much! Wonderful shot Jerry!
March 8th, 2012  
cool!
March 8th, 2012  
@orangecrush Ha! Ohhhh dear are you ever in trouble!!!! lol. Thats too cute!
March 8th, 2012

March 8th, 2012  
Gorgeous processing & detail.
March 8th, 2012

A great shot, processing and tones!

LOVE this!!! They will always remember those times you spent with them!
March 10th, 2012  
Wow, so cool. There's something about metal and wood, the textures play off each other so well.
March 13th, 2012
