Life along the Yukon River hasn't changed all that much since the Gold Rush Days. Other than the outboard motor seen on the boat in my image - this photo could have been taken a hundred years ago. It's nice to see that change takes place very slowly in the far north.

*(I captured this image looking toward the north/northwest, from the east side of the river near Dawson City. * Note: The first outboard motor was patented in 1880.)

the sum of two images... while capturing the reflections in the water I noticed a moving blur which turned out to be a spider moving across an invisible silk line two feet in front of my lens.

The snowbirds...

This image of the famous flying squadron was taken in 2014 close to Niagara Falls against a bleached-out, hazy, gray-white sky.

The camera settings are for the lighter of the two cloud formations in the image.

This image is made-up of five layers. 2 cloud layers and 3 editing layers (transparencies) of the flight group formation which was kept intact.

Since last November - our temperatures have been below zero almost every day. When cabin fever sets in and the chores are done - I happily escape into my own little dream world. In this image I was dreaming of rain drops and warm weather.

Being of German descent, it has always been a tradition to have birds on our Christmas tree's. It was said that they bring "happiness and joy" to the household.

Over the decades I have held onto the old frazzled birds of my ancestors - and I drag them out each year and place them on our tree's. Who am I to mess with tradition - and possibly miss out on my "happiness and joy".
