Jeff Clow's Lighthouse and Lobster tour ended up with a post-tour excursion to Acadia National Park. One of the few national parks on the east coast and the only one in New England, the beauty of this rugged place attracts many visitors from far and wide. No matter how many times I visit, I always seem to come home with thousands of photos that seem different from the trips that have come before. That is not unusual, as the weather and lighting dramatically changes what landscape photographers capture on digital film.
We had lots of long days in the past week. Out of the hotel by 4:15 am on some days and not returning until late in the evening. That, along with being a co-host for the tour, meant that I barely had time to look at my photos, let alone edit them. As a result, I present to you an image that I shot on last October's tour featuring the Bubbles with their foliage colored trees from the far end of Jordan Pond.

A long road with with oak trees lined up on either side of it. The branches forming a natural arch over the road. Spanish moss hanging down from the branches. Early morning or late evening sunlight lighting up the tree tops and moss. If this sounds somewhat familiar to you, it describes many a southern plantation. These scenes make great photographic subjects. Whenever I head south, I look for these places to shoot. I wasn't expecting to see this earlier this month when we visited the Florida coast, but thanks to a friend, he told me that a street like this existed in St Augustine.
While not quite as beautiful as some of the plantations, it is still a beauty. No, there isn't a large plantation at the end of the road and the road is not your typical dirt road, but I will take it. If you visit St Augustine, make sure that you take a drive and find, it but don't look for Oak Street as you might think it was named, but rather Magnolia Street. Go figure.
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!
From all of me to all of you!!

Those who follow me regularly know about my love for Banff National Park in Alberta. It is my favorite national park of the many I have been to. There is a close second and that is Yosemite National Park. It has been six years since I have last been there. My friend, Steve Somers, has been posting some of his Yosemite photos, which has given me the urge to hop on a plane to California. Unfortunately. a Yosemite trip will have to wait until the fall of 2017. In the meantime, I have been going through some of my older Yosemite photos and this one from Washburn Point jumped out at me.
Washburn Point is a terrific place to get a sense of the High Sierras, as you get almost a 360 degree view from there. I like it a bit better than the view from Glacier Point as you can get a better view of Yosemite Valley and the waterfalls. This composition gives a rare side view to Half Dome and gives a sense of the peaks of the High Sierras (Washburn Point is at an elevation of 7,500 feet).
Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia is a mecca for Urbex photography though it is a historical site and museum. The penitentiary was built in 1829 and continued operations until as recently as 1971 (hard to believe the amount of decay since then). When the building was erected, it was the largest and most expensive public structure ever constructed, quickly becoming a model for more than 300 prisons worldwide. One of the revolutionary intentions of the time was the idea that inmates were to be reformed rather than be punished (thus the word penitentiary rather than prison). In fact, the warden was legally required to visit every inmate every day as a form of rehabilitation. Two of the more famous inmates were Al Capone and Willie Sutton. This image is of one of the barber chairs that still can be found in the building. The urban decay is evident on the walls along with the algae growing down the back wall.
One of the advantages of visiting a location multiple times is that you can take advantage of varying lighting conditions that gives the same subject a new look. An added advantage when shooting along the coastline is that low tide can give you different perspectives that are impossible if the tide is in. Our group initially shot Marshall Point Lighthouse at sunrise, when the early morning light was on the other side of the lighthouse. Had we been able to shoot from this vantage point, the light would have been directly in our face, causing sun glare and silhouetting. We decided to revisit that evening, and the light was to our backs. A big bonus was that the tide had gone fully out, and we were able to scramble over the rocks to get some stellar and unusual shots of the lighthouse. While there were lots of reflections to be had in the puddles, I think this one was the best.
Hello everyone.
In recent months I've started connecting with other girls on facebook, however that's with my male profile which I feel limits my ability to make and engage with new friends in the community. I was thinking of changing my profile a bit but instead I thought I'd try and make an Alice-specific account and see how it goes. It means that I can hopefully engage with some of you on there was well since I was otherwise avoiding trying to add anyone from here who only knew me as Alice. Hopefully some of you will want to and be able to find me on there (I'm using this as my profile pic) as I can't add anyone right now.
At long last (and, I suppose, by popular request), I have created a Facebook page for my photography: Chris McVeigh Photography.
I hope to use this page to interact more directly with fans of my photos, something I've found difficult to do meaningfully within the comments here on Flickr. I'll also use the page to give sneak peaks at upcoming photos, and perhaps even offer a few giveaways, too.
Thank you all once again for your fantastic feedback, and you can look forward to more fun photos in the coming weeks!
I was talking with my buddy Bobby Strader last week about our upcoming June trip to Banff National Park. He had seen one of my posts a few weeks ago of Spirit Island in Jasper National Park and wanted to know whether he could fit in a day trip there from Banff. Spirit Island is one of the most iconic scenes in Canada and I could understand why Bobby wanted to get there. The bad news was that it is an awful lot of driving, and the actual face time in front of Spirit Island is only about 20 minutes unless you charter a private boat. If Spirit Island was the only attraction, driving at least 8 hours for a 20 minute view probably wouldn't be worth it. There is no question that Spirit Island is the highlight of Maligne Lake, but one has to take into account the surrounding scenery.
Let me explain. The main way to get to the island is to take a boat. Regularly scheduled boat tours are conducted in the summer months and last about 90 minutes. Excluding the 20 minutes at Spirit Island, that leaves roughly 35 minutes each way that allow the Canadian Rockies to show off their splendor. The lake has towering mountains on either side of the boat almost the whole way that are simply amazing. This photo was taken from the boat as we sped by on our way to Spirit Island. So is the driving worth it when you factor in the scenery on the lake? It might be, depending on how much time you have available.
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.

Teeth are kinda bright, I know...lol These will be sized down to 110x80, so they needed to translate to a smaller size.
