The Curtis Island Light marks the south side of Camden Harbor, Maine. Built in 1896. this light replaces a light built in 1835 by order of President Jackson. I took this photo several years ago and feel lucky to have been able to do so. The weather wasn’t brilliant the day I drove by. It had started out quite foggy but the cloud had started to lift by the time I got to this destination. There’s no public land on […]
Updated November 15th. I didn’t like the photo I used so I replaced it with a shot I took this evening. Since today marked the closest the moon will come to earth for the next 18 years I thought I’d go out and grab me an image of that big, bad, moon. I didn’t get off to the best start. Moonrise where I live was due at 6:01 pm. I live in a suburb to the west of Houston so […]
I woke this morning to a sombre grey day. It’s fall here in the USA and it’s not just the political season that is changing. That woke me up to the fact that it’s not just the political season that is changing in the USA. It’s been harder to tell than usual here on the Texas Gulf Coast.

Well, one solution is the plethora of stock photo sites out there but then you run the risk of your blog looking like everyone else’s. I mean, how many times do you go to websites and see the same vacuous images of hip young office workers, clustered […]
At the time of writing, fire crews are working around the clock battling the Soberanes wildfire to the south-east of Bixby Bridge and slowly approaching Big Sur. I would imagine right now this area is cloaked in smoke. When I took this image, it was mid-November. Summer fire season – June to September – was over. November falls into Santa Ana fire season – October to April. So in California, especially after the drought of the last several years, fire […]
It’s been a while since I last posted to my blog – busy days and nights. Earlier today I was scrolling through a Lightroom catalog and this image taken beneath Cayucos Pier, early in the morning last November struck my eye. I decided to process it in Black and White to give the image more of a timeless feel. In the top of the image you have the pilings marching into the distance while a wave is crashing to the […]
