Industrial Wyoming
All but one of the images in this set were taken on the same walk as last week’s post. I separated the images between last week and this week primarily by theme: last week was mostly walls & windows, this week is more industrial-looking subjects, like the storage tank, above. I love the mix of

Wyoming Windows And Walls
I spent a few days in Cheyenne, Wyoming, back in May. I was able to steal a few hours to wander around with my camera. As usual, I found myself exploring a rather tired part of town. Eventually I am going to be able to make a whole gallery of broken windows along the lines

Tired Places in Old Madison
Madison, Alabama, has a cute little historic downtown. It’s not large—only a block or two long—and although it looks fresh and well-manicured, if you stray even a short distance beyond that immediate area there are a lot of structures that have been abandoned or neglected. It’s entirely predictable where I ended up. The building above

Shady Shores
A few months ago I posted about our visit to the Alabama gulf coast, in particular Gulf State Park and the birds I photographed in the area. One day while we were driving back to our hotel, I spotted the brightly multi-colored building featured here. I didn’t stop then, but made sure to go back.

Desoto State Park
For the next few weeks I am going to circle back to Alabama and fill in a few entries that got squeezed out by the Yorkshire trip. We’ll start with Desoto State Park in far northeast Alabama. The part is divided into two disjoint pieces: the main section with the campgrounds (where Google Maps will

Yorkshire Pudding
Well, this is the final installment of my Yorkshire 2025 blog series. The previous seven posts have each corresponded to one day of photography. This wrap-up post gives me a chance to include an assortment of images that I did not include along the way. (There are also a few that I have featured at

Fountains Abbey
My last day photographing in Yorkshire was spent at Fountains Abbey, founded by Benedictine monks in the year 1132 and closed in 1539 by Henry VIII (along with all other monasteries in the country). It’s clearly worse for the wear after nearly 500 years, but spectacular, and well worth a lot more time than I

Off the Pavement
We’ll start this week’s set of images with a few that feature limestone pavements. I talked about these a few weeks ago, too, so I won’t repeat that discussion here. For someone who has lived and photographed in the desert southwest of the US, these formations are both foreign and fascinating. They don’t have the

Yorkshire Day 5
After saying in last week’s post that I do not take as many shutter speed variations of moving water as I should, here is a counterexample where I took eight separate images ranging from 1/8 second to 1/250 second. Typically, I might take two: a fast one and a slow one. It’s really a question

Fields, Forests, and Falls
We have now reached the midpoint of my time photographing in Yorkshire: Day 4. This day was, for the most part, my second pass through the areas shown. The weather and light was not the same, of course, but it was my second chance to compose images in most of these locations. The two images
