@AuAL, do you have a really good organizing system for your photos, or do you remember when they were taken?

I gather all the photos from a trip into a named album. There were over 2000 from the Africa trip. Then I just scroll through the album - they’re in date order - to find the locations/photos I want to work with. Since I’ve been doing this I’ve created over 60 albums.

Lost Lake, Oregon

Lost Lake is on the side of Mount Hood. There is an old lava tube under this lake. Lost Lake is a seasonal lake. When cold enough that ice freezes inside the lava tube, the lake slowly fills up with water. But once it's warm enough that the ice melts inside the lava tube, the lake drains. People gather every year to watch the lake go down the drain.

Mathematical Bridge, Queens’ College, Cambridge, UK

First built in 1749 (it has been rebuilt twice on the same design) it appears curved but is constructed entirely of straight timber beams, hence the name. A story is told that it was dismantled by University staff or students to try to work out how it was constructed without the use of bolts, and they then could not put it back together. This is a myth - it was constructed using iron spikes driven in in such a way they were difficult to see. The visible bolts were used during its restoration.
