The Hana Highway is a scenic drive through lush tropical rain forest along the northeast coast of Maui. It is a 64-mile stretch of meandering road that will take two and a half hours to drive if you don’t stop. We stopped many times. This time was along an overlook on the east side of Honomanu Bay. Although we didn't count them, we read there are 620 curves along this section of Highway 360. There are also 59 bridges, 46 of which are one lane.
The Hana Highway has a long history dating back its construction in the 16th century. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 15, 2001.

Evening light along a stretch of the Historic Columbia River Highway. I gave this an orton effect with some additional diffusion.

I've been interested in Lee Friedlander's work since I first got into photography back in 1977. This photo is really influenced by his unique vision of the world. The world within the mirror is harsh and blinding; the world outside the mirror is calm and green.

China, Harbin, Song Hua Jiang Gonglu Bridge, or Songhua River Highway Bridge & National Street crossing the Songhua River from Harbin to the Sun Island & ahead. The tower is one of the three identical towers on both sides & centre with spiral staircases for pedestrians connected to the top of the slight over 2 km long bridge.
This bridge is leading directly to the "Ice & Snow Festival" & further to the Siberian Tiger research. centre
Not only for its special position, but also as the centre of Heilongjiang's political, economic, educational & cultural life, Harbin is described as the pearl beneath the swan's neck. Lying on the east of the Songnen Plain, what is more, Harbin plays a vital role in communications between South & North Asia as well the regions of Europe & the Pacific Ocean.
Harbin was the birthplace of Jin, 1115-1234 & Qing, 1644-1911, Dynasties, the latter of which had a very considerable influence on modern Chinese history.
At the end of the 19th century, Russia built the terminus of the Middle East Railway here. Later, more than 160,000 foreigners from 33 countries migrated to Harbin, promoting the development of a capitalist economy in the city. The economy & culture of Harbin achieved unprecedented prosperity at that time & the city gradually grew into a famous international commercial port. Assimilating external culture, Harbin created its unique & exotic cityscape. The majestic St. Sofia Orthodox Church & Zhongyang Dajie each built in a European style have the effect of bringing you into an 'eastern Moscow'. Even though you are sure to be attracted by various exotic buildings, the Dragon Tower which embodies the wisdom of the Chinese people is a must on your journey.
Besides these rich cultural heritages, Harbin is favoured with beautiful natural scenery. Based on meandering Song Hua River & subject to severe low temperatures in winter, down to -30°C, when I took this Pictures the Temperature varied between -20°C & -26°C but dry air, Harbin boasts a unique ice & snow culture. So, Harbin is also called the "Ice City".
The impressive "Ice & Snow Festival" is the greatest & unusual one in the world, therefor Harbin is also called the "Ice City".
As well the large Siberian Tiger & white tigers research centre, with about 500 tigers & a few other species, does an important work to prevent this species from extinction. The Research centre can be visited, tours in small a bus are available, passing through wide natural, separated, sections, however the focus point is to save the tigers.

Hey hey
Hey hey
In my rearview mirror
My life is gettin clearer
The sunset sighs
And slowly disappears
These trinkets once were treasure
Life changes like the weather
You grow up, grow old
Or you hit the road round here
So I drive
Watchin white lines passin by
With my plastic dashboard Jesus
Waitin there to greet us
Hey hey
I've finally found my way
Say goodbye to yesterday
Hit the gas, there ain't no brakes
On this Lost Highway
Hell, I busted loose, I'm lettin go
Out on this open road
It's Independence Day
On this Lost Highway
Hey hey
Hey hey
Don't know where I'm goin
But I know where I've been
I'm afraid of
Goin back again
So I drive
Years and miles are flyin by
And waitin there to greet us
Is my plastic dashboard Jesus
Hey hey
I've finally found my way
Say goodbye to yesterday
Hit the gas, there ain't no brakes
On this Lost Highway
Hell, I busted loose, I'm lettin go
Out on this open road
It's Independence Day
On this Lost Highway
Hey hey
*Guitar Solo*
Hey hey
Oh patron saint of lonely souls
Tell this boy which way to go
Guide the car, you got the keys
Farewell to mediocrity
Kickin off the cruise control
And turnin up the radio
Got just enough religion
And a half a tank of gas
Come on
Let's go
I've finally found my way
Say goodbye to yesterday
Hit the gas, there ain't no brakes
On this Lost Highway
I'm busted loose, I'm lettin go
When I'm out on this open road
It's Independence Day
On this Lost Highway
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
On this Lost Highway
Captured my first lightning bolt of 2014 and with my new camera. I'm pretty happy, I got lucky with this bolt. It was pouring down rain for a majority of the shots and as I went to grab my camera a lightning bolt struck almost perfectly over the highway where it looks like cars are driving right into the bolt.
Purple highway with full-blown sunflowers. Shot sunflowers first at daytime, then long exposed at the highway at night. Chose a negative film LomoChrome Purple XR for this shot. My favorite tones!

Yep, it's been done to death but there's a reason for that. It's just a really nice shot and one of the few places on the Missabe where you can get some elevation without a pole or a drone.
Here a T-Bird heads for the UTAC plant with another load of crude taconite ore to be turned into pellets. The air conditioners on these units will definitely not be needed on this subzero afternoon.
Another of many images I’ve taken from the passenger seat on a drive to one of my neurofeedback appointments. I never know how these images will turn out as we’re driving down one of the highways or the interstate we travel. This process of making photos of my surroundings really is helpful and calming for me.
The highway beckons to open roads and boundless possibilities. There are winding paths stretching into the distance, where the hum of tires on pavement becomes a rhythmic melody of exploration. With every twist and turn, the highway holds the promise of new horizons, of hidden gems waiting to be discovered. It's an invitation to embark on a journey fueled by curiosity and wanderlust, to follow the call of adventure as the world unfolds outside the window, a canvas painted with the hues of experience.

[ CPP Project example 10.04 II ]
This is yet another image that's part of my experimental CPP double exposure photo project -- the second from my recent collaboration with LaDonna Chaos.
UPDATE: I should add some info about this photo. The experiment at the point of this composition was conducted by running the same roll of film through 2 cameras. That's essentially the CPP Project -- having 2 images randomly combined to see what we can come up with. The last public showing was subtitled "cultivating accidents in the camera." With this image, you get a panorama shot mixed w/ a regular format, along with misaligned frames, creating the odd lines (that give it an almost collage-like feel that I like). I enhanced the lines a bit real quickly in Photoshop. I'm not sure if it worked. The original had severe exposure problems, so I was just playing around trying to salvage something. :)
Let's see, you can read more about my CPP project here:
