A Sunny Day in Yorkshire
My second full day in Yorkshire was sunny with some scattered clouds—an all-around nice day for photography, although the light was a little harsher than I would like for waterfalls. I have quite a few images of the River Ure from the vicinity of Aysgarth Falls, but decided to include this one because the shape…

Across Eighteen Visits
This past spring I spent 8 weeks living in Madison, Alabama. Early in our stay, we discovered the Bradford Creek Greenway, and it became our favored walking spot. My Lightroom catalog has images from eighteen different dates, and I am sure there were a few other times when I either didn’t have my camera or…

An Anamorphic Outing
Decades ago I had copies of The Joy of Photography and More Joy of Photography, both published by the Eastman Kodak company. One of those two books—I suspect it was the latter—had a spread about photographing with an anamorphic lens. I remember a picture of soccer players that looked like models for African folk art…

A Dark Walk in A Desert Park
During our long stay in Alabama, I did take a short trip to my former haunts in Tucson, Arizona, and was able to go on a nice hike through Catalina State Park. Catalina State Park is a wonderful place that sits below the stunning Pusch Ridge. It was a great day for photography with dramatic…

Spring Comes to the Swamp
Five weeks can make a difference. All of a sudden you say, “Wow. It’s green.” All of the images this week are taken along the Beaver Dam Boardwalk in the Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge, an irregularly-shaped reserve that straddles the Tennessee River and some of its swampy tributaries. I have visited this trail three times…

Cokedale
Heading west from Trinidad, Colorado, you can drive an 82-mile half-circle on what is known as the “Highway of Legends.” Early along this route we passed the vast coke oven ruins at Cokedale, above, which was a bizarre and unexpected feature. These are the remains of 350 ovens, arranged on both sides of two nested…

Hoarfrost
On the first Saturday of this year, I woke up to a foggy, freezing morning. Well below freezing, actually. I grabbed my camera gear, dressed as warmly as I could, and started driving. Where we live, driving in any direction will lead to lower altitude, and I ended up below the fog before I reached…

Damme Canals!
We now turn to the last phase of our 2024 European adventure—Belgium—which was organized around a Light & Land trip to Bruges. (Here is a link to the 2025 installment of this same trip, in case you are interested.) I’ll show pictures of Bruges proper in a few weeks, but this week and next will…
