Sunrise VR Scene with the BBC at Old Faithful

While capturing this sunrise scene at Old Faithful recently, I learned that the BBC is shooting a 3 part series on Yellowstone. Their videographers, equipped with some very nice equipment, spent the past two mornings waiting for the "perfect" sunrise behind Old Faithful. This scene, on their third day, was best, according to their National Park Service Ranger minder. The program will evidently air in the UK this fall and here sometime in 2009. Location: 44.460174 -110.829563 The kind ranger also...

Sacramento's Fourth marked by families, fun, some fireworks

Even with low water levels at Folsom Lake, high fuel costs and an appeal from the governor to forgo fireworks, area residents still celebrated the Fourth of July with a big dose of tradition. Bobby Angelastro, 22, of Roseville wake surfs behind a boat on Folsom Lake Friday. Because of low water levels, this is probably one of the last weekends for wake surfing and water skiing on the lake. "We expect speed limits to go down to five miles an hour in a few days," said Ranger Jason Rector. Gracie, ...
