Austin is the capital of the U.S. state of Texas and the seat of Travis County, with portions extending into Hays and Williamson counties. It is the 11th-most populous city in the United States and the 4th-most populous city in Texas. It is the fastest growing large city in the United States, the second most populous state capital after Phoenix, Arizona, and the southernmost state capital in the contiguous 48 states. Located in Central Texas within the greater Texas Hill Country, the city is home to numerous lakes, rivers, and waterways, including Lady Bird Lake, Barton Springs, McKinney Falls, the Colorado River, Lake Travis, and Lake Walter E. Long.
In the 1830s, pioneers began to settle the area in central Austin along the Colorado River. In 1839, the site was chosen to replace Houston as the capital of the Republic of Texas and was incorporated under the name Waterloo. Shortly afterward, the name was changed to Austin in honor of Stephen F. Austin, the Father of Texas and the republic's first secretary of state. The city grew throughout the 19th century and became a center for government and education with the construction of the Texas State Capitol and the University of Texas at Austin.
A number of Fortune 500 companies have headquarters or regional offices in Austin, including Amazon.com, Apple Inc., Cisco, eBay, General Motors, Google, IBM, Intel, Oracle Corporation, Paypal, Texas Instruments, 3M, and Whole Foods Market.
Great Neighborhoods in Austin:
Whether you're looking to buy or rent a home, these neighborhoods in central, north and south Austin are the cream of the crop.
1. Tarrytown
With stunning views of Lake Austin, Tarrytown is Austin’s prestige address. Homes are ornate, well-maintained and expensive. Centrally located for easy access to nearby downtown, this is one of Austin’s most exclusive neighborhoods. Park your car in a Tarrytown garage, and you’ll rub shoulders with Hollywood celebrities, CEOs and city movers and shakers who call this neighborhood home.
2. Great Hills
Head a little further northwest to Great Hills, a neighborhood of contemporary two-story homes for families who like panoramic views of creeks, trees and fairways; winding roads; and cul-de-sac living. Shop at the acclaimed Arboretum and enjoy an easy commute to high-tech employers such as Texas Instruments, Motorola and Motive.
3.SOUTH
Circle C
A large, master-planned community in the hills of southwest Austin, Circle C offers a pleasant refuge from city bustle without depriving residents of urban conveniences. Scenic views and moderately priced homes appeal to families with children and to retirees who are drawn to the wealth of amenities, including tennis, golf, a world-class swim facility, the Veloway (Austin's bicycle track) and nature activities at adjacent Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center.
4.Westlake Hills
Affluent parents seeking an excellent education for their children gravitate to Westlake Hills and the Eanes School District, ranked among the best in Texas. Only six miles from downtown Austin, this conservative neighborhood boasts many homes with spectacular views of hills and canyons, and clean, safe streets. The community is home to Barton Creek Greenbelt, which has hiking and biking trails from Town Lake and Shoal Creek. Homeowners range from science and technology professionals to upwardly mobile families.
5. Mueller
Located just three miles from downtown Austin and two miles from The University of Texas at Austin, Mueller is perfectly positioned as an energetic new hub for central Austin.

13300km+ dans le grand ouest des Etats Unis, Juillet 2014
Tous les parcs nationaux sont accessibles en achetant le pass America the Beautiful (80$). Les State Park sont par contre payants (env. 10$ par voiture) mais certains valent le détour! Le meilleur petit déjeuner de tout votre voyage, vous le trouverez surement au Holywood Café sur le Fisherman's Wharf! Pour Alcatraz, pensez a réserver en avance! Conseil : garez votre voiture dans un parking avec mention special price for early bird et arrivez avant 8h00. Direction le café puis a pied vers le Pier 33 pour Alcatraz.
Le Yosemite est un super parc qui mérite amplement que l'on s'y attarde! Faites au moins une grosse randonnée. Attention a ne pas sous estimer la difficulté, notamment la Upper Yosemite Fall qui surement a été une des plus difficiles de tout notre voyage. N'oubliez pas Glacier Point qui propose un point de vue panoramique sur toute la Yosemite Valley avec en arrière plan les chutes d'eau et le Half-Dome. Idem pour les déserts en été! 48c dans la Vallée de la Mort et 46c au fond du grand Canyon. Grand Canyon: en passant, évitez de faire comme nous si vous n’êtes pas de très grands randonneurs! Plateau point est une petite balade comparé a la descente vers Silver Bridge et Fanthom Ranch. On vous aura prévenu! Personnes sujettes aux vertiges : évitez le Angel's Landing Trail et la Shafer Canyon Road. Pour le reste, c'est que du bonheur !!! Amusez vous et surtout, profitez un maxxx!!

The Largest Oil Rig in The World
Perdido is the deepest floating oil rig (platform) in the world at a water depth of about 2450 meters operated by the Shell Oil Company in the Gulf of Mexico.
The Perdido is located in the Perdido fold belt which is a rich discovery of crude oil and natural gas that lies in water that is nearly 8000 feet deep. The platform's peak production will be 100,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. At 267 meters, the Perdido is nearly as tall as the Eiffel Tower.
An oil rig is a large structure with facilities to drill wells, to extract and process oil and natural gas, and to temporarily store product until it can be brought to shore for refining and marketing. In many cases, the platform contains facilities to house the workforce as well.

Dr. Daniel A. Sarr Memorial Service 09-14-15
On Friday August 28, 2015, 51-year-old U.S. Geological Survey research ecologist, Dr. Daniel Sarr, died while hiking in a remote and rugged area of the eastern Grand Canyon as part of a study of riparian ecology.
Daniel is survived by his wife, Jocelyn O’Neill; son, Liam Sarr; his parents, Joseph E. Sarr, Hope Overholt and Mary Sarr; siblings, Joseph B. Sarr, Julia Sarr, Michael Sarr, Matthew Sarr, and Jonathan Sarr.
Daniel was born on March 13, 1964 in San Jose, but grew up in Porterville, California graduating from Monache High in 1982. A committed student, Dan went on to graduate from Humbolt State University in 1998 with a B.S. degree in Biology, followed in 1995 with an M.A. in Aquatic and Population Biology from the University of California, Santa Barbara. In 2005, Daniel earned a Ph.D. in Forest Science from Oregon State University.
He married Jocelyn O’Neill in 1988. The couple welcomed son Liam O’Neill Sarr into their home in 2003. His wife and child were the driving force in Daniel’s life and in turn were very supportive in helping him achieve his career and academic success.
Daniel’s interest in the complexity of nature drove an exceptional enthusiasm, energy, and wealth of ideas for all things ecology. He worked for thirteen years as a Supervisory Ecologist / Program Manager for the Klamath Network-National Park Service in Ashland, Oregon. Daniel's leadership was recognized when he was selected to represent the United States as a Fulbright Fellow studying at the National University of Ireland in 2008. He led his community in the development of a plan to monitor the ecological integrity the National Parks of northern California and southern Oregon. This plan was of national significance and reflected his vision for excellence in science and earned a National Park Service Superior Performance in 2011. From 2014 onward Daniel was a Research Ecologist with the USGS-Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center in Flagstaff, Arizona.
Daniel was known by all as a kind-hearted man, a wonderful friend, and committed son, brother, husband, and father. He will be greatly missed. A Celebration of Dan’s life took place Monday 9/14/15 at 11:00am at Grand Avenue United Methodist Church in Porterville. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Memorial Scholarship for Liam’s education at Bank of America, Ca. UTMA Acct. #325045474648
Linda Mutch, Science Communication Specialist from Sierra Nevada Network provided the following from many people who worked with Daniel in his National Park Service position at the Klamath Network sharing some stories and memories expressing how much Daniel was appreciated as a colleague and a friend.
The Peace of Wild Things
When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
— Wendell Berry

Tulsa, Arkansas - Urban Sprawl Time Lapse
32 year time lapse of urban sprawl in Tulsa, Arkansas
Tulsa is a city on the Arkansas River, in the U.S. state of Oklahoma. It’s known for its art deco architecture, mostly in the central Deco District. Landmarks like the Philcade and Philtower buildings reflect a 20th-century construction boom fueled by the prosperous local oil industry. The Philbrook Museum of Art is housed in an Italianate villa that was once the home of a local oil magnate.
Classic Car Show | Automotion Wisconsin Dells 2017
Automotion takes place mid-May every year in the Wisconsin Dells. This year brought a lot of rain to the event, but we were fortunate enough to get some cool footage of hot rods, muscle and classic cars of all makes/models!!
To learn more about Automotion check out Wisconsin Dells website at:
All footage was filmed with the Panasonic GH5 (4:2:2 10Bit 4K), Lumix 12-35mm f2.8 V1 and Pilot Fly H2 Gimbal. Dual Image Stabilization was enabled, combining the 5-Axis Stabilization in the GH5 with the Optical Image Stabilization in the Panasonic Lumix 12-35 f2.8.
It was great using the GH5 on the gimbal to pull off some more advance camera movements. I look forward to practicing more with this setup on future event coverage! Thank you for watching and subscribe to stay tuned!

GORGEOUS Westinghouse/Schindler Elevator at Carnegie Museum of Natural History Pittsburgh, pa w/TJ
This is the elevator at the Carnegie Museum Of Natural History in the grand staircase. There is another elevator just like this across the hall, but its just like this one so I didnt film it.
Although its been modernized, the elevators are just BEAUTIFUL inside and out, original cab designs and original doors, with art deco designs and patterns. The motors appear to possibly be original as well. This elevator at one time was manually operated and it was installed in 1908. Not sure if it had been modernized after that, but its most recent modernization was in the 1990s with innovation, the floor indicator might look a bit familiar as well, Schindler MT style. Im glad to see something other than schindler MT buttons though.

Arizona and New Mexico
Two bordering states in these United States. Both are in the heart of the American Southwest.
Both are about the same size...New Mexico is just slightly bigger. However, Arizona has more than three times as many people, and it’s growing at a higher rate. In fact, Arizona is one of the fastest growing states in the country, while New Mexico is definitely not.
A big reason why is Phoenix, which is the fifth biggest city in the country. Phoenix attracts all the concerts, all the professional sports teams, all the best comedians, and all the best indie films in theaters that people think they’re cool for seeing.
Arizona also has Tucson, which has a larger metropolitan population than New Mexico’s biggest city, Alburquerque. Still, it has an amazing balloon festival called the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. Plus Albuquerque is a way cooler name for a city. I just love saying it.
Both states are known for their deserts, for both are two of the driest states in the country. However, both have these little areas that get higher rainfall due to having a higher elevation.
Due to these elevation differences, both do have some climate variation. I mean, Arizona has the high plateau in the northeast part of the state, the mountainous region that runs from the northwest to southeast, and the low ranges and desert valleys down in the southwestern part. Its biggest desert is the Sonoran. The Chihuahuan Desert is the big one in New Mexico, and it even creeps into Arizona. New Mexico also has the Rocky Mountains in the north, the Great Plains in the east, and basically high plateau throughout the rest of the state. Where the elevation is high, they also tend to get four seasons. Otherwise, folks have been moving to both states for decades due to their mild winters and generally beautiful weather. Or at least snowbirds just head down there for the winter.
