Very cool Bliv!

Well, I've never been very good with a camera. I've gotten a couple of lucky shots mind you, most of them are of my cat. She's a beautiful animal. To save on forum space, I'm pasting the links from photobucket. If you'd like me to resize them please let me know!


This is my personal second favourite, I got it through pure luck when Misi was playful. I believe I took it about 3-4 years ago.


This is my all time favourite. No photo I take will ever compare to this moment. I've posted this on Icanhazcheezburger.com, and almost every other website that requires (or asks for) a photo. My cat is my pride and joy, and this photograph displays her sheer insanity.

I also took a new one of my VFT, I thought I might as well post it alongside my other ones, considering I hadn't picked up a camera for 2 years I thought it was all right.


All these other photos are stunning! I hope I can become as skilled. Wow!

Very nice photos Grey

Thank you, Matt =)

Some of my pictures from my cheap Nikon S4000.

Nice Allen. I really love the last cloud shot. Also, that mountain in the distance looks fairly imposing. What's the name of it?

Which one? Most of them are named in Navajo.

Do you mean "Tsé Bitʼaʼí " (Shiprock Rock)? Yeah, but old Navajo sayings is that yee naaldlooshii (skinwalkers) or ’ánt’įįhnii (Evil witches) are around that. I know some people that live near it, but they always tell me they see them at night or hear them. That's why no one really goes to it.

But, It's highly Illegal to climb, according to the Navajo Government. Since its scared ground.

that mountain looks like the one the aliens land on, in the close encounters of the 3rd kind movie.

monument valley... they had a nice red bull air race course near there a few yrs back !

I like the picture with the mountain in the distance =D

It's not a mountain, it's a rock, well a very old extinct volcano. Here is a story I found that I heard once when I was a young lad

lapahie.com wrote:A long time ago the Diné were hard pressed by their enemies. One night their medicine men prayed for their deliverance, having their prayers heard by the Gods. They caused the ground to rise, lifting the Diné, and moved the ground like a great wave into the east away from their enemies. It settled where Shiprock Peak now stands. These Navajos then lived on the top of this new mountain, only coming down to plant their fields and to get water.

For some time all went well. Then one day during a storm, and while the men were working in the fields, the trail up the rock was split off by lightning and only a sheer cliff was left. The women, children, and old men on the top slowly starved to death, leaving their bodies to settle there.



Therefore, because of this legend, the Navajos do not want any one to climb Shiprock Peak for fear of stirring up the chį́įdii (ghosts or Evil spirits), or rob their corpses.

Interesting stuff Allen. I figured that a peak that prominent would have some climbing history.

Yeah, pretty much. But it's highly illegal to the Navajo Government.
