The Freedom Rock
Category: Art and Photography

About the image “The Freedom Rock” in photo album USA / Patriotism / Military:

Can You Believe a Teenager, Ray "Bubba" Sorensen" Painted This Huge Rock near a gravel pit on Highway 25 in rural Iowa, USA, about a mile south of the town of Greenfield, Iowa.

The rock is now referred to as “The Freedom Rock”.

For generations, kids have painted slogans, names, and obscenities on this rock, changing its character many times. One day ‘the rock’ received its latest paint job, and since then it has been left completely undisturbed.

It 's quite an impressive sight. The United States flag appears draped over the rock, but it is not. It also is actually painted on the rock, shadow detail and all.

This rock is about 12 feet high and estimated to weigh 56 tons.

The photo of ‘the freedom rock’ was sent (forwarded) to me by a friend working for the U.S. Forest Service in the Fresno, CA. I then asked another friend in Grand Junction, Colorado to make a graphic using the photo of ‘the freedom rock’.

2010 Outdoor Photographer Landscape Calendar
Category: Art and Photography

One of my images of Tenaya Lake, Yosemite National Park, has been selected by the editors of Outdoor Photographer Magazine to appear in their 2010 Outdoor Photographer Magazine Landscape Calendar.

You can also see the image on my page. It is the first slide show.

You can purchase the calendar by contacting the publisher at (800) 258-5830. The cost is $13.95 US plus shipping. There is an advertisement for the calendar in the October 2009 edition of the magazine on page 82. The publisher is using a small clip of this image to promote the calendar.

Cheers

Family Friendly Site
Category: MySpace

My primary focus is professional and serious advanced nature photographers that I have an interest in and who enjoy my site and its content. This site contains quality photography and Christian Biblical information.
This page at MySpace is intended to be family and kid friendly and I reserve the right to restrict friends at my site to my satisfaction based on your site content and the content of your existing friend's sites. If you or your friends have profanity, nudity, partial nudity, pornography, and violence in your photos, pics, videos or written content please do not request a friendship from me. I review the site / page content of all friendship requests and randomly review the content of your friend's pages for suitable content at my discretion.
I can not accept all friendship requests for the simple fact that I do not have sufficient time to communicate with hundreds of internet friends. If your profile, pics or videos are set to private I will not accept your request. Thank you for your understanding.....
