Not Ready to Say Goodbye

The sun nears the end of it's day at Cape May, New Jersey-USA.

Sunset on Snowy Field

After a morning of heavy snow, the sun came out and the sky cleared. The trees cast long shadows as the sun begins to set. Horsham PA-USA

Downstream

A creek has turned into rapids during a rainy hike in Washington, USA. It was raining hard even by the standards of that part of the country, and our hike eventually ended when the path was engulfed by the swollen stream.

Long Perspective

A nice ranch fence flows into the background, lit by a sun ready to set. Pennypack Trust, PA-US

Sleeping Forest

Thick fog obscures the path through the sleeping forest. Nothing beats quietly walking through the woods when they are enveloped in fog. Tyler State Park, Newtown, PA-US

Winter Seat With a View of the Fading Warmth

A bench looks out over Neshaminy Creek towards the reflected sunlight after a light snowfall in winter. Tyler State Park, Newtown PA-US

Autumn Along the Delaware Canal

A woman walks her two German Shepherds underneath the tunneling canopy of the D&L Trail near Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania. The overcast day provided a moody atmosphere for our Autumn walk along the Delaware Canal. D&L Trail, Washington Crossing, PA-USA

River's Dark End

Snoqualmie Falls drops some mood in this shot. Taken from above at the Salish Lodge, made famous as the Great Northern in he 80's show Twin Peaks. Snoqualmie, Washington-US.

First Touch of Autumn

The sun sets on summer, and the dawn of Fall has just begun. Pennypack Trust, Huntingdon Valley, PA-USA

Taughannock Falls Gorge Trail in Autumn

The Gorge Trail leading to Taughannock Falls is lit up by the afternoon sun and the mist that envelops the entire gorge. A rainy morning became a sunny and colorful afternoon as the trees are just starting to turn to their autumn colors. One of my favorite places to visit in the Ithaca New York region.

Cold Creek Blues

A hearty tree sleeps in a near frozen Park Creek, as the winter of 2017's first measurable snow continued to fall. Carl Kohler Park, Horsham PA.

The Grand Teton Peak

Grand Teton is the highest mountain of the Teton Range, in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming-US. It has a recorded height at 13,775 feet high.

Sunset on Wildflowers

The tail end of a nice summer sunset over a field of wildflowers, which were mostly Black-eyed Susans (Rudbeckia hirta), at Tyler State Park, Newtown, PA-US. This was 2 exposures using a tripod and my Rokinon 14mm wide angle lens, manual merged in Photoshop CS5. I have been wanting to try this type of shot for a while now, and living a stone's throw away from a large park like Tyler has provided me some opportunities to learn with plenty of good locations for sunsets.

Road to the Lupine Meadows

The gravel road that leads to parking at Lupine Meadows Trailhead in the Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming-US.

Great American Eclipse Totality

With so many excellent photos that zoom in on the corona of the sun, I decided I wanted to pay attention to the effect the lighting had on the surrounding landscape using a wide angle shot. Nothing can capture how truly odd the lighting and color is during totality, but I am pleased with the result I achieved here. It is very much as I remember, everything was cast in a blue violet light, with short sharp shadows (as opposed to the long shadows of sunset). I got extremely lucky with a location on the west side of the Teton mountain range, opposite side from Jackson Hole, in Wyoming (some call it Wydaho since it is accessible through Idaho), which offered a beauitful landscape complete with a small ranch fence surrounding a pond, which I was determined to get in the shot. A cheer echoed off the mountains from many hundreds of other hikers at totality, all who were beyond our view. 2 exposures; quick one for the eclipsed sun, and a longer one for the landscape. Shot outside the town of Driggs, Idaho-USA

After the Rain

A rainbow appears at the tail end of a brief rainstorm (which was still under way when the photo was taken). I was waiting the storm out while on a walk, and saw the sun getting ready to shine through as the rain fell. I ran to a nearby field while attaching the wide angle lens, hoping to see a nice rainbow with a decent natural setting, but this was more than I expected. It was just a surreal scene.

Farmhouse at Sunset II

Shot at Norristown Farm Park, Norristown PA-US. 3 exposures merged in Photoshop CS3. Norristown, PA-USA.

September Sky

A cool September day winds down as the sun shines it's last rays on the field of tall grass. Pennypack Trust, Huntingdon Valley, PA-USA.

Winter Fog

A dense fog descended on Tyler State Park, shrouding Neshaminy Creek in an eerie mist. Newtown, PA-US

Cape May Lighthouse

Cape May before Sandy hit, September of 2012

Misty Autumn Sunshine

The sun shines through the mist of Taughannock Creek, revealing the beginnings of Autumn colors in the trees along the creek. The mist was a combination of leftover late morning fog combined with the mist produced by Taughannock Falls, which lays upstream from this location. Taughannock Falls State Park, Trumansburg New York-US.

Forest Stairway at Taughannock Falls

Stairway to the gorge rim trail at Toughannock Falls State Park, about 300 to 400 feet above the creek.
