Talking with the Nature!

During my last trip to Hawdiayn region in Kurdistan -northern Iraq- there was too many things to talking with, I went out of my city to this territory , away from smoke,noises,bad and heart breaking news...I am gonna let these few photos talking about it!

Summer on Mount Hood

Hi everyone, my name is Wilson. Im a new member of LPS. I go to the University of Puget Sound and am friends with Lauren Stanley and met Larry Stanley through her. With the help of Larry and Cody, I am now sharing some of my photos with you all.

This is a backpacking trip I actually took last summer with my two best friends on Mount Hood in Oregon. It was one of the greatest and most beautiful trips I have ever done. Here are just a few of my favorite photos from the trip.

A Day in the Swamp

A week ago I had nothing better to do than to get all camo'd out and sit on the edge of a beaver pond. An oasis amongst the sage brush as it were. Spent about 5 hours just sitting and watching all the wonderful "life" happening around me. Here are a few images from that evening.

Who Goes There? Judith, watch out for the dog...

Views from Iraqi Kurdistan

A piece of quite land on injured homeland

Butte America

I recently had an amazing adventure in historic uptown Butte. I toured an old speak easy, jail, barber shop, tin shop, brothel and the Finlen Hotel. Awesome history and beautiful old buildings!

For the Birds

Dave and I took a drive through the Shields Valley today, and shot this pair of sandhill cranes in flight.

Spring!

A belt ad concept for work. The trunk had a strong resemblance to a torso.

Spring Snow

Space Shuttle fly in Iraq!

Just before the sunset, I decide to fly with my Space Shuttle, there was no busters or rockets except my hand, sure
this small little Piece of plastic cannot put my out of the earth's
atmosphere to see the beauty of our unique planet without the hate of
mankind to mankind,without terror and terrorists, away from global
warming and car noises, but this is a dream is very hard to become
true for an Iraqi people in these hard days!

Acklins Island, Bahamas

I recently traveled to Acklins Island in the Bahamas with my buddies Eric and Scott to visit a friends new fishing lodge. Acklins has only 400 residents and the village we stayed in only around 100. The island seems like it is at the end of the world despite being littered with ship wrecks and crashed drug planes. The locals are so laid back that literally almost nothing ever gets done. Except on "Homecoming" week, which we were lucky enough to see. Homecoming is a 3 day barbecue/bender where anyone who has moved away from the village comes home for a big ol' throw down. A couple of days before the scheduled date everyone repainted the local shops and common area, found their one nice set of clothes, opened restaurants and washed their cars. The kids put on a Junkanoo parade that ended in the common area dancing and playing music for 45 min. non stop. Hard to beat.

Not Even Once

Jay and I did a whirlwind tour up to White Sulfer, across to Harlowtown, down to Big Timber and back home last Saturday. Funny thing - we drove all that way to photograph the windmills outside Judith Gap and because I didn't take the time to actually look at the map in my hands, we turned the wrong way and didn't get the chance. Still a fun day hanging out with Jay, though, and MT's always pretty - no matter where you are. Here's a picture I snapped in Harlowtown, I guess they're having problems with the kids and drugs or something. I thought it was kind of ironic to have the meth sign on the side of a drugstore and bar...

West Forkarod

Mom and I went on a dog sled ride this morning. We had perfect day, a terrific guide, well behaved dogs, and made a few new friends. These dogs are really amazing animals. They LOVE what they do, and it made our day!

Total Lunar Eclipse and dark starry night

One of the most clear weather situations, is after rain showers.Feb.09.08,It was very pleasant moments to me to sharing some telescopic views of heavins with some of my relatives for the first time in them life, that was outside dusty-smoky city of Arbil.
The Nawkur plain is one of the reachest agricultural regions,lies abot 70 Kms West of Arbil in northern Iraq.but after my trip,I found out that it is also rich with clear skies and very good for astronomical observations for Sun and all other stars.
Total Lunar eclipse of Feb.21.08 at 06:15 am was a very ince target to take some photos,but with frozen fingures in that morning!.

Chile Vacation

Chile...the land of fertile soil and beautiful people. I feel honored to have spent two weeks helping one of my best friends celebrate her wedding and meeting her husbands friends and family. We spent most of our days in Santiago, but did travel to the coast and two wine districts near the city.

Bald Eagle

I was out on the Gallatin River with my dog last week and there were 2 beautiful Bald Eagle following us around. They were unhappy about us being there in that great fishing spot. They started off perching far away, but gradually got closer landing in trees directly above us. I shot this as it hopped off the branch above me and flew away. Lucky day on the Gallatin!

Finally, winter with Rain and Snow!

Just after my last posted words, a lyres of low dark clouds finally
covered our skies, after 3 days of good rain, snow start falling
over northern Iraqi regions.
I am living in Arbil city; some snow has covered our back yard for a little
while but it melted very fast.
Any way, the mountains now are looks like giant icebergs, also Kanzad
Hills -East of Arbil city- was a good territory for snow fun.
Every body is happy now, although Iraqi peoples are still suffering from terrorists and terrorism dark days.

Dry snow on the right and wet snow on the left!
Every body are invited!
Every body made Snow man!
My son Muhamed try to catch some snow!
