So, continuing with the theme from yesterday, this is what it’s like to look down the face of the Hoover Dam. The Colorado River is about 700 feet below the top of the dam. To the left is Arizona, to the right is Nevada. The white concrete shape in the top right corner is part of the visitor’s center. Taken in 2006, in the upper right corner you can also see the supports of what would become the Mike O-Callaghan […]
One of my goals for 2012 is to post a photo daily. It’s the first of the year so this is the first photo! I took this photo of Meteor Crater back in 2006 while flying on a commercial jet from Las Vegas to Houston. Meteor Crater is about 40 miles west of Winslow, Arizona. If you find yourself in the area it’s well worth a detour. There’s a visitor center on the northern rim with good views into the […]
So I follow a bunch of Photographers over on Google+, one of them being Brian Matiash. Brian had a post recently where he stated he found it very challenging to stop and smell the roses. Since Brian’s post was illustrated with a view towards Otter Cliff, Acadia, Maine, I decided to illustrate this post with a view from the other side of the headland, Otter Cove. Brian’s post was interesting because I found myself agreeing with him. I normally run-and-gun […]

Hiking Much as I like hiking, it’s been a long time since I’ve hiked all day or more. These days I confine myself to a few hours […]
So my Maine Event came to a close today in a damp and soggy fashion. It was raining quite hard before sun up so I turned off the alarm and went back to sleep. This was probably a mistake but I’ll never know for sure. When I did leave Belfast at around 10:00 it wasn’t really raining but the cloud hugged the ground and the sounds of the fog horns drifted in through the fog.[ad name=”post”] Because of my late […]
So here we are, Day Three. I haven’t found a better WordPress app so I’m stuck with the eponymous app and hoping I don’t touch the wrong place on the screen and lose everything again.. I’ve set the auto save to every minute so we’ll see how that goes. Overnight it rained. Bar Harbor was pretty near dead, storefront after storefront posting signs reading “Closed for the Season. See you in May”. Well er, no, you won’t.[ad name=”post”] I headed […]
