Eclipse


All my pics are public domain



I set my tripod over on the end of the track and took bunches of pics of people on top. Not much detail but if u were here during the eclipse, You might be in some of them.
Above was where my tripod was below (yellow cap) is a picture I captured using time lapse.. 

  




 Mount Pleasant has been my santuary in my last years

 

  Until last sumer my pals were Saint Benards, this is Puparonia

  I take lots of pics and don't post them all cept if there is a group, with so many expressions, blinking n laughing, then I might do a few of that pose.























These pics and a few hundred more of people on mt p with a telephoto are here. If u were close to the edge,probablly got u  HERE

On this night I captured a video of a plane flying over the sun.






Mtp Exploration

 

Science fair..
 Remembering all the things taught in school, then looking at myself and others, thinking how much of the info was ever used or remembered.

In the years that I have been coming out, I thought that <punt Pleasant ould be a great learning lab for students and would actually be used through out their lives.

If you peek at this idea, follow the sequence under labels 00 01 02 ...

Not so hard to understand but it takes a bit of thought. Things taught algebra trigonometry.. are not easy to understand .. used by very few.

You can subscribe to the blog to follow along if any more thoughts are added.

Music review

Kooky's Mountain.. just used for this song. It is Mount Pleasant in Risng Park, Lancaster Ohio.
The Youtube version, CC to turn on/off lyrics




There are those who lived in this area that has never been on Mount Pleasant.
Many are brought by others who do live here.
Some by an internet search.

The events in this video is not what you will see if you make the trip.
These are doings I have witnessed in my years of returning

If you are planning a visit, check with the weather guy. To photograph the city before noon, after any dew vanishes I suppose.

If you come when it is hot and sunny, there is little/no place to hide on top.
"sunset" is the given time when the top of the sun vanishes, so start up about 40 minutes before that.
Being older than rip van winkel, those in the video are people I met on Mt Pleasant taking photos. Most an encounter of a few minutes.
There are lots more but a pic can only be displayed as long as the lyric.


In the video clip
 Come to Kookies mountain On a hiking trip. we will capture magic in a video clips

* An aerial view of Mount Pleasant

* Girl with the little pup I have known her for a few years

* Couple walking up the trail, don't know them

* Photoshop lyric .. I planned an eclipse shoot for a couple years with my saint Bernard, but lost her the year before.. This pumpkin came up talking to me and came back, then I got the brainstorm to do a series with her.. missed the chance but became obsessed with that idea. The eclipse pic I took on that day n her photoshops by imagination.

* The scene of visitors sitting watching the sunset, this is repeated over and over

* The scary old man.. me some stories to tell :)

* The pup wagging her tail, puparonia. happens just like that over n over

*  Visitors with hope of finding love. My imagination, I really do not know why she came, just guess when singles come up, they just might hope to connect or meet someone they know

 *  The heart broken come, I have seen people come for such ceremonies a few times. 

*  The family I imagined might appear on a hallmark card: One year seeing them together with their pups.. and through the years, have been super nice to me. Won't add their pic, every one is not a photo hound 

*  A mountain biker and running girl. I kind of know these two and have taken their photos over the last years

*  Balancing on a Slack line. I have taken these guys pics over the years

*  yoga you may see. I do know these girls and have taken their pics .. super nice

* a photo session, many times in the old family tree: I have seen others and have taken pics there many times

*  Birthdays, memorials: Yep, the aerial view of people on the mountain, had a family gathering before moving away. The two in the back, daughter and the mountain bike guy.

* engagements too: I have photographed several of these. My favorites when I was the only one there to capture them

* The girls with Kooky (Saint Benard). Through the years these two .. seamed to be a magical night. Took these the same night as the hammock guy

* The girl sitting on the edge, I have known her for some years. watched her grow up

* Sitting on blankets: I have lots of such pics but use the girls sitting in spotted shade.. the only place to hide on a hot sunny day

* Girl n guy on the rail. Girl a fb pal

* Me putting stuff in the backpack with the magnet flash light. Puparonia was bouncing around this was the only shot with out blur

* People leaving down the trail, I don't know.

* City Lights at night time

* The police do come sometimes.. guessing what might be going on in the parking lot. But are nice, coming down after dark

* The flowing cloud it took a couple hours to capture them and squeeze them into a matter of seconds

* Bird flying around. Sometimes there are lots of them that must like the updraft.

* Flying on the pup bird, me n my imagination.

* The moon I captured and put it with a pic taken by the girl and little dog.  Me and Kooky, talking to a couple girls .

* Seeing me on by looking past the sun on the solstice.. imaginary fun


 draft of the pilot video includes snippets of things I observe through the years.

I dabbled with many versions of the song and changed it but used the song I created on EasyMusic

PROCESS

Story, rhymed, stored segate harddrive3/V-2025/  collection of stuff
Selected song in video processor
Audio: Adding a marker at the end of each verse

Here verse Exampel stretched to fit between markers.




The lyrics in a post for each verse. The object is to paste a picture that might fit as comment below that verse.
I know some humor me in fun in my photo play, some like some of the pics it is ok to share. 
If anyone doesnt like them or has one they like better, they can give a frown or submit their pics as a comment.



Crusing

 Throuigh the years that I have sat on the bank watching tennis players, cars  driving by with their heads sticking out the window .. 
It is a place to hang out with family n pals or just to observe.


It is ok to go to car shows and look around what others have built but .. you are not involved in the doings just being a spectator. 



Wash em, polish em n make em stand out .. Glad it is gone but when I was a kid, guys tied squirrel tails to their antennas
 
Is cruising around in your car a sport.. Me thinking it is a social activity .. people of all ages like to cruse around n their ride.
The park it's self is not a place to have such event but to check out the interest of people with their rides.



***
Organizing Cruising on our home turf, some of my thoughts.


πŸ‘·

Cruising sounds

Riding around on the weekends and listening to the radio was cool when I was a pup. There were lots of songs about cars.

I like music from the generations that came after me but I don't remember many songs about drag racing .. cruising around with your pals.
What ever your generation .. if they were still riding around beeping their horns n surfing through drive ins, what songs would your pals be playing?

If you are from the Lancaster Ohio area, have pics of cool cars then or now that I can add to this page, 
I created this facebook for that

What to do when the sun goes down in Lancaster Ohio

.



When I was a pup I always wanted a roaster but only got to ride to the drive inns with pals, till I grew up (kinda) n bought something like it :)

In 2020 during the virus caper someone called for a cruse in and the parking lots were full of people hanging out like back in the day n I drove around with my pup taking pics πŸ˜‹












Knowing the science of weekend cruising I did a quick paste up of a route 

Not just those with cool cars were in to it but all of them were part of the ride.
Guys n girls of all ages loved the ride then and now.



How to organize ... hmmm 
*  In your school fb groups

*  Make up some flyers to share at car shows (just here in Lancaster) . to people you will know and those working there

*  Going through the ride route stopping in food places.. I would bet they would go along and have cruse night specials.

*  Car parts places, cycle shops

* There is a new food place that opened up out by the Tractor Supply... Jimmy's Drive (now a truck) they might get into it.

* Mobile food stands, every once in a while I see them popping up in some space with good traffic. They might get in on the cruse nights, finding locations along with the cruse trail.

The red icons on the map are points of interest. To plot out a good map a ride through the route with a camera spotting places of interest where cars could stop and mingle or load up on food.

Some of the places along the route are parking lots to mingle .. places to get gas (those stations might put up flyers)

Me thinking what a fun thing to bring it back for all generations and the kids who only saw it in the movies.

Going to car shows n looking at fancy works of others.. take some pics with the cars, it is OK but hanging out on the streets n parking spots with others after dark.. that is the magic to capture.
Not just those with super cars but the average bears crusing through the streets ... all were parked in the hot spots on weekend nights.


I'll bet one of the radio stations would jump in and take the roll of wolf man jack.. well kind of  πŸ˜‹


I don't know who got the event started (the mayor?) but Kookie n me was just on the way to Walmart n I thought what great pics to capture. If you know any of these guys tell em where they can copy their pics :)
