Goodbye from the RidgeRat

---

Even those of a wise, superior species — such as myself — eventually must yield to the passage of seasons. While I still enjoy basking in the alpine sunlight on top of the cozy rocks, high up on the high mountain ridges, amusing myself with your doings, I find that I can no longer stay on top of the latest news and the biggest rocks at the same time. I must give up one or the other... and that means this Web site is coming down. I hope you enjoyed your visits here. But if you didn't, that won't bother me as I sleep away the winter in my deep underground den.

You have arrived! Time to leave...

While this site is disappearing, you can be sure that the RidgeRat's bad attitude will live on.

The Images

Images currently available are described in the catalog of Contact Sheet images, as listed below. Not included in the list are some older images that predate the "digital image" era — likely that things have changed quite a lot since then. But if you have interest in a specific area that you don't see listed, you can inquire about it.

Most of the images are unprocessed and need work before they are publication-ready. Most of them are in a high quality (low compression) JPEG format. If you need images in an appropriately "cooked" form (resolution, orientation, color space, aspect, file format, etc.) let me know and I can probably provide them in the form you want.

If you are interested in any of the images:
 
     see the contact information following the Contact Sheet table below.
