Landscape – Six Mile Lake

Six Mile Lake

The best time to take photographs is while the sun is coming up or going down, and in Alaska there is the added bonus of that being when the animals are out and about too. The day I took this shot, we came across some beaver, some mother moose with her twins, a shy [...]

Landscape – Tibet Spring

As landscapes go, this is one of my favorite shots of all time. I love the layers of color and lush lime green of new spring growth. I took this shot on my way to the airport in Lhasa, Tibet. What is really interesting, and of course you cannot tell from this shot is, [...]

Nature – Wisteria Window in the Loire Valley

I think I’m almost ready for spring to arrive. I love the snow. I love the cold, but I love the colors of spring, too. One of the things I like about this shot is that I think even if I didn’t tell you, you would know that it was taken in France. It [...]

The small country of Singapore has plenty to offer.  The best part about traveling there was the fresh seafood and the friendly people…oh and how clean it was!

Come rain, snow, or shine – if you are traveling the back roads of Turkey, you will come across many shepherds and goatherds.  You gotta love ‘em.

Statue Photography

Everywhere you go, there are plenty of statues.  I’m not really a person who likes to take statue photos, but I was happy with this one.  I think it gives you a pretty good idea what to expect when traveling to Thessalonika.  I think it’s my favorite statue photo of all time.  [...]

Landscape Photography – Canada Birches

birches

Driving down the Alaska Highway through British Columbia, we came upon this gorgeous red shed standing amidst the birches.  The entire area is a photographer’s dream, and this is one of my favorite shots from that trip.  I can’t wait to go back to BC…maybe this summer…

Hugging the Sky – Baobobs!

baobob

Taking landscapes of the African savanna, I love it when there is a stand of baobob trees.  They are huge and cast wonderful shadows.  The silhouette of one against the bright blue sky is just breathtaking.  I never did get any at sunset, but it’s on my list of photos to take….sometime!

WHS – Melbourne Royal Exhibition Building

 Summer in the southern hemisphere allowed me to take this very beautifully green photo of the Royal Exhibition grounds.  The gardens were well manicured and had many varieties of flowers and shrubs that are indigenous to Australia.
