Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

This blog will pay for itself.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Infrastructure week. at last.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Consistently wrong since 2002

The willow is too close to the house.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Not all heroes wear capes.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

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.
