Last week I posted a photo of a unidentified barn that I discovered while I was "lost in the Palouse". This unique round barn is less of an unknown barn and was part of our Palouse photo tour. Located somewhere near St John and Endicott, it is a working farm. It's owner, Dale, has a miniature car inside of the barn that I have posted about already on the blog. While the others were busy shooting the car, I wandered off behind the barn. I spotted the unusual looking piece of farm equipment (I don't know what it is) and, as I was looking at it, discovered I really like how it looked with the barn angles behind it.

I am always beating the drum about revisiting locations when the weather doesn't cooperate, even if there are years between visits. I first stood at Sprague Lake with family and friends during a very cold and very windy day. Even though the lake is far from any real oceans, I swear that there were waves on the water surface. Okay, maybe I exaggerate a bit but not by much. The next time I stood on the lake's shore, there was a steady rain that made photography impossible. So the third time is a charm? I'll let you be the judge of that. I shot this photo last September, and, although it rained during the night, I was blessed with great light and clearing skies.
I often try to take photos that I haven't seen before and convey different looks of a location. If you visit Moab, south of town on the highway is Wilson Arch. We passed the arch early in the morning during a snowstorm and snapped a few photos of the arch. We then headed south to visit Canyon Rims. On the way back to town, we stopped at the arch to take some photos without the snow. I have visited this location quite a number of times and had shot it from all angles, so I wasn't feeling overly interested in shooting it again. At the same time, I didn't want to waste the great clouds that we had in the sky. As I looked south from below the arch, i saw this part of the rock formation that I had never shot from before. Off I went scrambling along the rocks until I got to this spot. I used the wall of sandstone as a leading line and found that the lone tree added interest to the scene. The terrific clouds made this an even better scene.

It has been quite a while since I have posted a photo from Europe. We try to get there every other year or so, but we had to miss last year because of illness. There are so many places to see and never enough time or money. The architecture there is so different from the United States and I love learning about it and documenting it through my photos. The architecture is not limited to mainland Europe and can be found on its many islands. Up near the top of great islands and architecture to visit is the Greek Island of Santorini. Famous for its blue-domed churches, it is a mecca for photographers and vacationers alike. A great place to see them is in the town of Oia. If you are simply looking for the blue domes though, you would miss out on some terrific scenes in other parts of town. After I shot the domes, I walked around town to the other side and was able to capture this scene. The uniqueness of the architecture is still apparent with the two unusual windmills in the distance. You can also get a great appreciation of how tightly together people live on the island.
Not every trip or day works out for the landscape photographer. For every great day that the light, subject and weather work out, there are several that do not. This can be extremely frustrating, as getting to an iconic location can be expensive in terms of both cost and time. Months and months of planning can be turned upside down by conditions that simply don't allow for a "wall hanger" to be taken. Early in my photography trips I would lament such times with complaints and no shots. Over time, I have learned to look for other things to shoot and turn lemons into lemonade.
This photo is an example of this. Our crew was up well before dawn, and we headed out on a 45 minute drive to be in position to take a sunrise photo at one of America's most iconic locations, Oxbow Bend. It was clear the second we got there that it was going to be one of those mornings. The Tetons were socked in and the majestic Mount Moran was nowhere in sight, even though we knew it was there. Rather than lament about it, I started working the scene and, looking eastward, noticed the fog rising from the Snake River. Just for a moment, the sun peeked through the dense clouds, giving the scene some light and accentuating the fog.
On our Alaskan cruise a few years ago, we spent some time exploring Denali and taking the a full-day train ride to our cruise ship in Whittier. It was an awesome experience, but all good things come to an end. On our last morning at sea, we pulled into Vancouver Harbor to dock and disembark at Canada Place. It is one of the main sailing ports, where a steady stream of cruise ships can be seen coming and going. Canada Place, with its iconic white sails, is located in the heart of Vancouver's downtown harbor front. The only thing that made the end of the cruise palatable was that we were staying for three days in Vancouver, which is a fantastic place to visit. I shot this photo as we approached the end of our cruise.
I always enjoy looking back through my thousands of photos and taking another look at some of the places I have been. More importantly, I remember the people I was with and the fun we had together. When I came across this photo of Wilson Mesa ranch outside of Telluride, the memories of shooting with Rick Louie and Chris Nitz came back to me. Rick conducts a photo tour in Colorado, and, if you are looking to catch some Colorado foliage, look him up - you won't regret it.
If memory serves me right, this shot was taken near the end of the tour and we were sort of outrunning a storm. We spotted this scene from the road and spent quite a lot of time shooting it. After taking quite a number of shots, I didn't feel like I was capturing the full scene, so I shot this panorama that better captures what my eyes were seeing. It was a great end to the day, although when we got to Telluride, we took an interesting gondola ride through the rain and lightning, but that is a story for another post.

So there’s this campaign in Brantford to spread kindness by painting rocks and hiding them around the city. When you find one you’re supposed to post it on Facebook and then re-hide the rock. My neighbour’s kids found one by my yard today while walking their dog and it says HOPE! I asked if I could take a pic of the rock to share with my sister, as she lost a granddaughter at birth named Hope. When the kids came by a second time they said they wanted me to have the rock! So I guess now I’ll have to hide it somewhere!
