I've been on holiday in the Stubai. It was great. My apologies for the few comments that got stuck in moderation over the past two weeks, they are all released now. If you think there's anything else do let me know.
Be reassured that I will bore you with more mountaineering photos in the near future. In the meantime a teaser: which peak is this?

So I've been offline a lot the last few weeks - as you know we had 10 kids in our house for a couple of days the week before Thanksgiving, and I was out of town until yesterday. While a few posts have gone up, I've spent absolutely no time on anything other than absolute necessities online.
So…
Ok, those of you who know me know that I am not much of a consumer. If I can buy it used, make it myself, or make do with something I've already got, I'm pretty good. I hate the frenzy of shopping that accompanies the "Holiday" season, and I think the most awesome thing about being Jewish is that…
First of all, I owe y'all an apology for the radio silence. Somehow this month I've felt a deep need for some quiet, rest and offlineness. It was quite an autumn here - it started with the destruction of Irene and Lee (and dealing with those disasters are still a major part of life in our…
Baka Beyond, "Baka Play Baka": This is what happens when you take a bunch of great trad Irish musicians, and lock them into a room with a bunch of great African musicians from the Baka tribe in Cameroon. I don't know quite how to describe this. It really doesn't sound like anything else. You can…
I'm still in trippy fashion processing the fact that I'm so blown away at how consistently intensely aesthetically delightful your Instagram account is. Wow. It's way too long, since you haven't curated your own output, but it reminds me of my Leica film camera days where I would take enough time to micro-adjust my framing in the viewfinder and buy lots of film to let me play around a lot. How do you explain your professional sense of dramatic impact and composition? One of my favorites is:

Do you really believe in climate doomsday? That might explain your deep existential indulgence in capturing elegant beauty.
[I keep telling the JoNova-ites that CAGW is a strawman they've invented. As to what I believe: its written down: http://scienceblogs.com/stoat/2010/07/04/what-i-think-about-global-warm/ -W]
Look, uh, that page you linked to, it's not nonsense, but it's overly crowded sort of stream of consciousness personal, but in it I see sea level rise (tide gauges = song remains the same over 150 years) and hurricanes (at a record low),
[Not sure what you're trying to say there. I thought that "Hurricanes became very sexy in the aftermath to Katrina (don’t fail to follow the link to the RC view) but on this issue I’m largely with Roger Pielke Jr (RP Jr) on this – almost all of the increase in damage from hurricanes over the last ~50 years is due to societal changes, not climate changes" was clear enough -W]
so like what, am I supposed to draw some intellectual sword here and smack you down? Sorry. I've bookmarked the rest of your images, but it looks like your recent vacation is the real highlight. Thanks so much for presenting such a old master painter's outlook on reality. Many of your images, I will remember forever, dreams included.
Looking forward to more mountain pix.
