Majestic
What I liked about this tree was that the leaf canopy was so far above ground – at least 25 feet. Frankly, this would be a better photo if the dark green leaves from an adjacent tree weren’t spilling into the upper left corner. I would have also like a pure, blue sky as the [...]
Electrified (iPhoneography)
I was down in the cosmetology department of the school I teach in last week to talk about a project that will involve my photography students and I noticed a vestige of a bygone era. So while I was waiting to speak, I took a few photos of this multi-tentacled device standing in the corner. [...]
Saturday Regatta
If you look at the sails of these boats, you will notice a “Y”. That identifies them as Yngling class boats, which is an international classification. You might also notice the “USA” on the sails. If this photo had been taken in Switzerland, you would see “SUI” instead. Or in Sweden “SWE”. And so on. [...]
Pitchfork Fondue
Take a big cast iron pot, fill it with tallow and heat it to 350 degrees. Then spike a chicken or tender steaks to the clean tines of a pitchfork, put it into the the hot fluid and after a few minutes, this is the result. Oh, and don’t forget to throw in a few [...]
Morning At the Marina
Here’s another beautiful cloudscape, with Wandering Star washed in deep blue morning light.
A Few of the Ten Thousand Lakes
You probably get bored with my photos taken out of airplane windows. But I can’t resist.
She Doesn’t Sell Sea Shells
This is Deb, who is intense in everything she does – including searching for shells. A few minutes after I took this photo with my iPhone, I found an iPhone half buried in the sand. Really. A 3GS. Anyone missing an iPhone after a day at Huntington Beach in California?
Beautifully Carved
We were somewhere over the Grand Canyon on our way to California when I took this with my iPhone.
Sunrise With Two Trees
There are times when I take a photo that I can’t wait to see what it looks like on a screen bigger than the one on the back of my camera. Such was this case with this and yesterday’s photos. When I went out driving on this particular morning, I wasn’t necessarily looking for a [...]
Happy 4th of July!
This beautiful creation was served for dessert for our 2nd of July dinner. My mother-in-law made it but no one wanted to wait two days. It’s made from jello, whipped cream and fruit. I used to look forward to the 4th because of the fire works but now it’s the jello dessert, which has become [...]
Snow In Berlin?
I think it may snow on rare occasions in Berlin, Germany. But if you own a Brandenburg Gate snow globe, you can make it snow whenever you want. I wonder if they sell Great Pyramid snow globes in Egypt? I’m wondering if they even know what snow is in Egypt. . .
History Lesson
I have already mentioned in another post that at the time Deb and I visited Dachau, there were few people present. But there were two groups of young German soldiers touring the grounds. Here, one group waits for another in front of the famous monument to those who suffered and died at this concentration camp.
Memorial To the Murdered Jews of Europe
Not too far from where Hitler’s Chancery building stood and close to where Hitler committed suicide in his famous underground bunker, lies this unsettling memorial to all of the Jews who were murdered in Europe. This memorial was dedicated in 2005 and has been controversial because some say the memorial doesn’t attempt to answer questions [...]
Party Animals
After a post on Dachau, will you forgive for posting a quick snapshot of two dogs watching the world go by on a busy pedestrian street in Ljubljana, Slovenia? I hope so because here it is.
Reprise: Do You Miss Winter?
I am out hunting for photos for the next 10 days or so and will have sporadic access to the internet. So I’m posting a few of my favorites for a while back.
