kellychapman - 12-7-2006 at 03:55 PM

Phototheraphy.......that is what this is.
I think I will try that 12 step ....hmmmmmmm...manana....
maybe it will work since the sunrises are later then in the summer, so now would be a good time to start.....I cannot believe I actually sleep through this. Time for a change........

FARASHA - 12-7-2006 at 03:58 PM

OKAY KELLY - expecting your SUNRISE Photo by tomorrow ! :biggrin:

Natalie Ann - 12-7-2006 at 04:31 PM

Skipjack - What a magical image, this last post of yours. It transports me... makes me feel like I'm lying on my back in the bottom of that canyon, looking skyward and watching thebeauty of the night roll in. Thank you!

Cincodemayo - 12-7-2006 at 05:18 PM

It's so cool I had to post it anyway. Arenal in Costa Rica...well it's just next door to Baja!

Cincodemayo - I understand that view is a rare event! We only saw clouds & rain, but lots of wind, so very good for windsurfing!

kellychapman - 12-7-2006 at 07:19 PM

oh my goodness......my worst fears in a photo........
I am plaqued by the dream of being dragged and ready to be thrown in,this exact volcano...

,,,screaming "I always thought you could only use a virgin....and the low reply....we are using you Kelly as an experiment.....we think it might throw you back.....lol...what a great picture......and I never new this is what you could see on Peyote....wow I am impressed... signing off as I have a sunrise to catch in the morning......

lay on the couch and tell me all about it...Oh that's right they don't use couches anymore. :tumble:

kellychapman - 12-8-2006 at 12:11 PM

underlying elements are I think it is too get rid the planet of me of me....it is horrible not to "blend" in a normal life .....boooohoooo.....but the good news is.....I moved to Baja....took the cure ,,,Everybody blends and tequilla is in a bundance......I noticed your from PNB....we located from Bandon Oregon ....

kellychapman - 12-8-2006 at 08:30 PM

Cincodemayo....thanks for the compliment about my explorer....

yes the sunsets in the olympics too are magnificent....living in west seatlle for 5 years I have been many a time impressed. then down to Bandon Oregon for 17 years and my final resting spot....Baja Mexico....nothing more beautiful then driving from Seattle to the tip of Baja that is for sure. thanks for your pictures....

I'm glad this thread is getting attention again. I sort of missed it. That fog picture is really neat Summanus. I love that highway but there are very few pictures that capture the feel of the journey. That's one of them. I would guess that's somewhere north of San Quintin. Actually all of the recent contributions are wonderful. I hope to see more.

BajaNomads 100 Best Sunrise and Sunset Photo Contest Postcards

Sharksbaja - 1-15-2007 at 07:03 PM

I couldn't help myself here. The pictures are so cool I thought we should be able use them since so many generously contributed.
If you want to print the postcards correctly, first download the photo to your harddrive etc.. Next set up your printer with the smallest margin possible and set for regular letter size in horizontal mode.
Print at your printers highest resolution setting and use photo-quality paper.

They are all great shots. I still can't make up my mind which one is best. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For ease of use I put in linkable thumbnails.

WOO - absolutely lovely - I can steal it for my desktop???

FARASHA - 1-16-2007 at 08:53 AM

SUMMANUS - Isn't it something special with that misty mornings in that area? I loved it, and took some of those misty morning shoots myself.

Thanks Sharks, that must have been a lot of work. What a great idea! Looking at all of them together makes it impossible to decide which is best. Each photo has some attribute, be it subject or quality, that makes it as good as any other.

Thanks Sharks! :bounce:

If you are enjoying those beautiful sunsets as a slide show--screen saver, just how much work are you doing? :lol:

I suspect that like many of us, you are just dreaming about getting there and watching them in person. :tumble:

These pictures just make the longing for Baja worse ---- they are just wonderful.

NEWSFLASH....this just in...taken last week on the La Paz to Topo ferry at (guess what) sunset.

CasaManzana - 1-17-2007 at 05:45 PM

That 6 hour ride to the mainland is so much fun on that big ferry. I'm thinking of doing an "Idiots Guide to Mainland Mexico" via La Paz ferry with pix. Any interest?? A U2U would do it if I get a dozen or so.

David K - 1-17-2007 at 09:44 PM

WOW!!! :wow:

Paula - 1-17-2007 at 09:49 PM

Casa, please show/tell us more about the ferry and your mainland travels from Topo.

This is the backside of Angel De La Guarda. Taken from Kino bay. So, I guess it is a picture of Baja from The Mainland. :lol:

David K - 1-18-2007 at 12:55 PM

Thanks Minnow... That is nice to see.

When I was in Puerto Peñasco (across the gulf from San Felipe) I could see the top of Diablo Mountain and some of the sierra... From San Felipe you cannot see across to Sonora as there are no tall mountains near the coast... Guess the world is round, after all! :light:

Punta Pulpito behind with Punta San Antonio extending out to the east.

vgabndo - 1-18-2007 at 10:12 PM

Hey I know you've seen it before and when I see a better one, I'll shoot a picture of it! :lol:

Thank you!
