Vulgarity is the linguistic too of the inarticulate.

Some people are frozen at an age that prevents them from expressing their ideas in a manner more acceptable in certain social circles.

Shame on you! Haven't you ever heard of triangulation?

BTW, very nice shot.

Hmmm that sky looks added after the fact? Is that a Large Format image?

Metadata says it was taken with a Nikon D700, not LF...

Haha! That snap was taken in New Idria - California's latest ghost town - a couple of days after gaining extensive news coverage. The "Keep Out" sign was posted by New Idria's last resident and official Mayor "Me", well that's what we called her. I first discovered the location about 15 years earlier while hiking, camping, and exploring in the general area. At that time it was occupied by a county drug Rehab outfit that was supposed to clean-up the site. The drug rehab people cleared out and extensive news coverage followed when New Idria was declared an EPA Super Fund site. Hanta Virus was supposed to to infest all the structures and warnings were posted throughout. The whole area was supposedly cordoned-off by the San Benito County Sheriff's Department and anyone caught entering would be ticketed/arrested. I couldn't resist the urge to see it again and about 10 of us (photographers) did a field trip. Great shoot! We entered all the buildings wearing surgical masks.
