Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Giving up is unforgivable.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

The revolution will be supervised.

Last week we visited the East Asian Gardens of The Huntington though the unseen world of infrared. Commenter JanieM asked if I ever presented the infrared images along with their visual pairs. You may remember that about 2 months ago, I posted infrared/visual pairs from Franklin Canyon. Being that the images from The Huntington are somewhat different(man made structures) than Franklin Canyon I agreed to do another infrared/visual pair post. This post contains 4 of the photos from last week’s post along with the visual shot that was taken at the same place and immediately before or after the IR shot was taken.

From the Stargazing Tower you can see the Lake of Reflected Fragrance with the San Gabriel Mountains in the background. The bright white spot on the mountains at the center of the picture is the solar observatory on Mt. Wilson.

    Perfect subjects for infrared. Fascinating how going back and forth between the pairs impacts one’s perception of the coloring of both.

    Great pairings.  I really appreciate the contrast between the photos.

    I know that you’ve been to the Mission in Santa Barbara, but have you ever been to the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History?  The Museum grounds are a beautiful botanical garden set in the canyon immediately behind the Mission. Well worth a visit.  It is a great museum that also employs my eldest daughter as a curator.

    I always love your IR, Bill, but that last photo of the bridge is just pure Fairyland.

    @MazeDancer:

    @arrieve:

    Agreed.

    Thanks, Bill. The pairings are mesmerizing. It seems unlikely that I’ll get to California any time soon, but the Huntington complex will definitely be on my list to visit if I do.

    @MazeDancer: The Chinese garden is the best for infrared since it provided a good mix of foliage and other elements.

    @Wag: Thanks, I’ve missed the Natural History Museum on my visits to Santa Barbara.  My last visits to the Mission were either with other people or rushed.

    @arrieve: I’ve shot that composition on each of my last couple of visits to the Japanese garden.  I thought I’d give it a try in IR.

    @JanieM: I shot at one of the other local gardens last week, Descanso Gardens.  It’s a bit more forested, so it wasn’t as good for IR.  That may be the next set, or star pics…  The Huntington is worth a visit, but right now all the galleries are closed so it’s pricey for just the gardens.

    @?BillinGlendaleCA:   Definitely worth a visit.  A very naturalist California landscape with a variety of trees and winding paths.  I think even some redwoods.  My daughter got married there.  A great locale.
