60f & Sunny or 35f & Rain?

Sunday, December 27th, 2009

I’ll take 60f & Sunny. I just returned from a two week climbing trip in California and Arizona. While there were a couple days with cool and cloudy weather, the trend was highs around 60f and sunny. New Hampshire has greeted my return with 35f and pouring rain, at least the ice climbing will be good when temperatures drop. This photo is of a Joshua Tree at sunset on December 11, 2009 in Joshua Tree National Park, CA.

Photo Details: Panasonic Lumix LX3, 1/400s @ f/4 and ISO 200.
