Some of the walls of this room in Building 14 were charred and portions of the ceiling collapsed. It appears as though this building at a Pennsylvania psychiatric hospital experienced a small fire sometime after it was abandoned.

The Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Plant in Herald, California is a decommissioned power plant that began operation in 1975. The plant stayed in operation until 1989, when it was closed due to public vote.
During operation, the plant produced almost 500 spent nuclear fuel assemblies measuring 8.5" x 12ft and radioactive in nature.

Building 121, the central power plant, was constructed in 1918.
The Mare Island Naval Shipyard was the first US Navy Base on the West Coast. The land was purchased in 1853 and shipbuilding was commenced in 1854. During WWI and WWII, the base was responsible for the construction of dozens of ships, including destroyers, battleships and submarines. The base closed in 1996 as part of the Base Realignment and Closure Program.

Prior to the February Yosemite trip, I purchased an LED lantern with (4) removable, battery powered panels. Not only is the lantern great for camping, but the panels are small, light weight and can be individually carried around and used for light painting.
This was my first shot testing out their functionality. A ladder would have been helpful when painting the higher branches of the tree, but this was essentially the effect I was aiming for. I am anxious to continue testing and improving this method.
