Writing retreat, Day One

The reason we’re in Portland is to take part in a writing retreat. We just tacked on a few days of sight-seeing beforehand. The retreat started today, and so there won’t be much here but placeholders and filler for the next few days. This is supposed to be an intensive writing retreat, so my energies are elsewhere.

Here is a time lapse I took of Mt. Saint Helens the other day from the last viewpoint on the road up that range. This is sitting on a retaining wall about four miles from the volcano, looking into the crater.

Yes, it is brief. Worked great at first, but then the camera stopped taking all of the pictures I’d asked of it. Had I known, at that viewpoint, how cool this would eventually look I would have shot it over and over and over again.

I shot it using the now apparently unsupported Gorillacam (free) app.

The retreat continues tomorrow. Hopefully I’ll make some nice progress on this particular project. Wish me luck.
