This particular whale is an art installation in Utrecht in the Netherlands with the obvious intent to remind folks about plastic in our oceans, but today I’m headed off to Timor Leste to hopefully see real whales (and hopefully dive with them and get some…
So in case you were wondering what it looks like where I’ve been staying for the past couple months… In a few days, I’ll be leaving Jiwa Damai and moved onto Timor Leste. I’m not sure how much internet access I will have there, but…
I’m not as spoiled with such easy access to beautiful sunsets as I was in Andava, but with a little effort, I’ve managed to get a couple. These first two are from the rice fields just north of where I’ve been staying in Jiwa Damai.…
I know these aren’t the best quality, but I’ll work on getting some more soon.
Not a whole lot to say here other than these white chalk cliffs are pretty impressive, and Beachy Head is mentioned in a song I like about the Spitfire airplanes… and while I was there an old plain flew by – I couldn’t tell if…
My stop through Salisbury was a bit of a whirlwind. I arrived Sunday evening after the diving in Plymouth (I still owe you folks a quick video from the diving, but I still need to process them) and then I continued on Monday morning for…
And before I went diving in Plymouth, I visited a historic site in Dartmoor National Park called Grimspound. There are 24 of these stone hut circles surrounded by a short stone wall (seen on the right in the below panoramic shot). Next to the village…
Taken during one of my morning strolls along the canals in Utrecht in the Netherlands…
Well, now that I’m on the other side of the planet (ok technically, the other side of the planet from where I am right now is somewhere in Venezuela, but the other side of the planet from Pittsburgh is somewhere in the Indian Ocean, so…)…
I always seem to like photographing interesting bends in trails while I’m out. Usually they only end up as wallpapers on my phone, but I’ll share a couple… The one above and the next one are both from a short trail I hiked while I…
Sometimes the sunset just isn’t as nice as you’d like… I wanted to wait and see how well the colors developed, but it was getting dark quickly, and I wasn’t sure how strict they are about hiking after sunset down in Summersville, WV. So I…
Another big post of waterfalls, so let’s get right to it… Wyandot – 15′ To be entirely honest, at this point the park was getting more crowded, it was starting to rain, and I was starting to get hungry… so my compositions aren’t always the…
There are only three waterfalls on the southern leg of the Falls Trail System and I wonder how many folks do themselves a disservice and skip this section. These are three very nice falls. Murray Reynolds – 36′ Sheldon Reynolds – 36′ Huh – I…
Ok – no waterfall today… About midway through my hike, there was a nice downed tree that was laying across Kitchen Creek and offered a perfect opportunity to stop and relax on a limb of the tree that made a reclined seat. I sat and…
Ricketts Glen State Park in Pennsylvania is known for having 22 named waterfalls within a very short distance (the park brochure says both 7.2 miles and 3.2 miles, but I’m having a hard time telling which number is correct – if either). Also, the main…
