Somewhere on the Sea of Cortez
Baja California, Mexico, somewhere between Loreto and Puerto Aqua Verde, Mexico.
I did post this a while back, but have done quite a bit to this photo since then. This is one of those photos that I really liked, but could never get it to look like it did when I was there. (Believe me, it looked a bit different than this in real life).
There is no easy way to get to a place like this, especially overland. If there is a road anywhere nearby, it is likely unpaved. Worse, it may be a one lane road without guardrails, winding through steep hills. On the rare likelihood you encounter someone else on the road going in the opposite direction, one of you had better be pretty good at driving backwards until you reach an area wide enough for two vehicles.
The group I was with took an easier way. We arrived at this point after about four hours of paddling a kayak. A power boat would have been easier, but that was not the purpose of this trip.

Chester Train Station, Chester VT
This one goes back a ways, back to the days of film. Does anybody remember film?
I've tried various processing methods on this one before, but none of them really worked for me. But this one I like. A lot.

Assateague Lighthouse, Virginia
Assateague LIghthouse on Assateague Island, at the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge.
Did a minor HDR adjustment on this one. Just enough to brighten up the foreground.

Chincoteague Sunrise
Seen at the Chincoteague National Wildlife Area, just south of the Maryland border in Virginia.
This photo goes back to my pre-digital era. I scanned this about two years ago, but I didn't particularly like how parts of it turned out once digitized. But having now worked on it a bit, I'm happier with the outcome now.

Round Barn, Shelburne Vermont
Shelbourne Museum Round Barn
Fred “Silo” Quimbly constructed the Round Barn, a three-story building measuring eighty feet in diameter, in 1901 in East Passumpsic,Vermont. Round barns enjoyed a brief period of popularity in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The Shakers designed and built the first round barn in America in 1826 in Hancock, Massachusetts. The publication of the building’s plans in a nationally distributed farm journal in 1896, sparked the construction of approximately twenty-four comparable barns in Vermont beginning in 1899.
In 1985 and 1986 the Shelburne Museum relocated the Round Barn to the Museum grounds. A helicopter flew the upper segment of the silo, which weighs nine thousand pounds, from Passumpsic to Shelburne, while workmen dismantled the remainder of the building piece-by-piece and transported it on flatbed trucks to Museum grounds. After reconstruction, new materials replaced what had aged beyond use.

About Shelbourne Museum
Shelburne Museum is a museum of art and Americana located in Shelburne, Vermont, United States. Over 150,000 works are exhibited in 39 exhibition buildings, 25 of which are historic and were relocated to the Museum grounds. It is located on 45 acres (18 ha) near Lake Champlain.
Impressionist paintings, folk art, quilts and textiles, decorative arts, furniture, American paintings, and an array of 17th- to 20th-century artifacts are on view. Shelburne is home to collections of 19th-century American folk art, quilts, 19th- and 20th-century decoys, and carriages.
Electra Havemeyer Webb was a pioneering collector of American folk art and founded Shelburne Museum in 1947. The daughter ofHenry Osborne Havemeyer and Louisine Elder Havemeyer, important collectors of Impressionism, European and Asian art, she exercised an independent eye and passion for art, artifacts, and architecture celebrating a distinctly American aesthetic.
When creating the Museum she took the step of collecting 18th and 19th century buildings from New England and New York in which to display the Museum's holdings, relocating 20 historic structures to Shelburne. These include houses, barns, a meeting house, a one-room schoolhouse, a lighthouse, a jail, a general store, a covered bridge, and the 220-foot steamboat Ticonderoga.
In Shelburne Mrs. Webb sought to create "an educational project, varied and alive." Shelburne's collections are exhibited in a village-like setting of historic New England architecture, accented by a landscape that includes over 400 lilacs, a circular formal garden, herb and heirloom vegetable gardens, and perennial gardens.

Your Own Private Beach
Wow, some of the things that get overlooked. I guess I just assumed that this one had been posted here already. I mean, I've shown this to everyone! Except viewers of this website, apparently!
This was taken on a kayak trip originating in Loreto, Baja California Sur, Mexico. This was taken on an island just south and east of there, on Ilsa Carmen.

The Crab Claw Restaurant
On a personal note:
Besides my personal website (this one), I also host my photos in a number of different locations. One of those is Flickr.com. Well, yesterday, I reached an important milestone there, reaching 150,000 total views! Thanks for viewing my photos, here or elsewhere!

Another Awesome Canyon, Another Awesome View
Exiting First Canyon, Nahanni National Park, Northwest Territories, Canada.
We are now approaching the end of our journey. Around the end of day 11, we have seen all the most spectacular sights along our route. The mountains, the sparkling lakes, the rapids, the waterfalls, the canyons, and the hot springs. On our trip so far, we have been blessed. Weather here can be unpredictable, yet we have had no major rain events or chilly spells. Sure, it's been chilly in the morning, but the daytime temperatures have always been pleasant. Yet, we are still two days away from civilization. We must journey on.

River near Lamanai, Belize
I had an extra day to spend in the Belize City region of Belize before my main adventure trip was scheduled to begin, so what else to do but to explore some of the local Mayan ruins. Lamanai fit that bill just fine.
