Nepali Traditional Beehives

These were quite common on some parts of the ACAP trek south of Muktinath, and seemed quite effective. The Honey was excellent, as expected.

This is the first uploaded video shot with the Canon 5D mk2 btw. Despite it's short length raw filesize was about 100mb, so longer videos must be edited down, which reduces quality if re-encoded (not to mention it takes a long time) I am working on a solution to cut up videos with minor processing, stay tuned.

3 videos

Kasar Devi is a great place to hang indefinitely....

Copied all 1.1tb of photos to my backupdrive successfully, so now clear for more shooting. This required making a 12v powersupply with the right barrel connector for my 3tb backup drive.

Working on the Open Laboratory Umbrella Project as much as possible, as I have gotten many positive response.

here are 3 videos i stuck online, sorry for the low quality of the one on the bike

Two Poems

Checkpost

Driving down the highway
Night has fallen, but headlights shine
A routine checkpost
Slow down, weave through
I've no time to stop
I have to sleep

 

Seized

Wind, weather
Beautiful curves in the road
All is fine as I make pace down these roads
Thud, bang
Silence
As I drift slowly to a stop
My smile is still great,
But the intellect knows fear
I wander into town
All 600 pounds of attachments
Between my legs
