Toronto from CN Tower 4.17.11



Looking down from 1,122 feet (342 m) on the observation floor!

Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada 4.22.11








It was an overcast day with patchy rain, there is no foliage on the trees yet, not so good for capturing IR images. However, I found the scene was still super attractive & beautiful! Here are a few pictures to share...

En route to Toronto 4.16.11






Curious of how the IR world looks like from 35,000 feet, I took my IR camera with me on our family trip to visit Toronto... Vivian was eating snacks at the window seat and Erica was playing DSi at the aisle seat, I leaned over and snapped a few shots in the middle of no where on route to YYK from LAX...

Joshua Tree National Park, CA 1.1.11














We left home at 8am on New Year's day, stopped by midway at Alhambra for breakfast... We were at the south entrance of Joshua Tree National Park at little bit pass noon. Again, it's another partially overcast day and it created nice infrared source for these images. I was a little disappointed this time because for some reasons, there were not a lot of good size Joshua trees throughout the park. A lot of Joshua trees started to show up towards the north entrance of the park and there were lots of them at Twenty-nine Palms area. The lighting was not as good as early afternoon so I didn't capture any images after we exited the park.

Mount San Jacinto State Park, Palm Springs, CA 1.2.11





Ten minutes of cable car ride with breathtaking views brought us to this winter wonderland. -1ºC with windchill felt more like -15ºC up there at 8,516 ft elevation.
