Another spring breaks on this classic Green barn in Northwestern Connecticut. A imagine of a bygone era. Struggles and the joys to toil the earth, how advanced we become; but how much has been lost.
My friends and followers already know how very fond I am oif tunnel crossings :) Now this one was on our way from Djupivogur toVBorgarfjordur Eystri on the Icelandic East coast. The tunnel seemed to go round and round and round ... so much joy to be had :))
Found by fluke, and a rare sight. Classic ghost sign of days long gone. Seems to be usually covered by advertisement, hence reason somewhat preserved. Went back in time to the long gone Disc-O-Mat, days. I remember prizing many vinyl LPs, from Adam Ants, AC/DC (BIB that I still have), Boston, 3 Dog night, Zep, Floyd and scores more. Conveniently located around corner from Crazy- Eddie, only true old school NYers know that one, still functioning tube receiver @ 110W per channel and Technique Table, thst still spinning the classic vinyl.
Avila, one of the many of Spains beautiful cities. Fortification work was started in around 1070, and rebuilt in the 12th century. Legends and story's paramount it beauty and the city it protects.
"Tutto il pathos e tutta l’ironia del lasciarsi la giovinezza alle spalle è implicito in ogni momento di felicità di un viaggio; ci si rende conto che non si possono riavere le prime gioie, e il viaggiatore, quello saggio, impara a non cercare di ripetere i successi ma a trovarne altri in nuovi luoghi. "
Paul Fussell
With a name like that who could pass up a visit?
This area is part of the Bears Ears National Monument. It is remote. The views are breathtaking, the vistas are lost in the horizon, and the silence is always with you. It's the perfect place to get away from it all but bring plenty of gas, food, and water. There are no 7Elevens or Exxon food marts here.
Weather can be very unstable in Iceland which is great in a way for it demands more flexibility in your photographic endeavour and also offers completely different light scenarios. I LOVED this moment when we were driving along the Northfjords in relative darkness and all of a sudden that snowy mountain appeared from in between clouds.
43St & Bway. Pre Wuhan lock down, great spot that wasn't able to make it through the lock down. Thanks %#!&^
strangest of all sunrises I've ever experienced, the almost midnight sun (August above the Arctic Circle) rising at 3am being deflected by the peaks of the Lofoten Wall and thus illuminating the dense, low cloud cover over the islands. This capture was taken about an hour later then the previous one in my photostream. Happy Monochrome Monday!
A moment during our last day of round trip around Iceland, when we left Snaefellsnes National Park with its outlandish volcanic landscapes and endless hrauns (lava fields) to see a real village again.
This mountain range and its river were the last hurdle to stand between us and the Northfjords on the ninth day of our roundtrip around Iceland when we left the Central-Northern Highlands and aimed for Siglufjordur in thje North.
Found these falls by chance while Freehiking in the Berkshires. A series of several falls, through a chasm. Estimated 130 ft drop total over a distance of 80 ft.
Beautiful early spring and heavy rains that bring this incredible series of falls to come alive. Schaghticoke Indian reservation. CT

2nd Place Winner - Daarklands Group - 10-6-24 - theme: roads
our road trip around Iceland continues as we reach day 11 of our journey. Tonight we decided to camp wildly in a bay of the Westfjords, found a lovely place and one we were settled a mighty storm began with tremendous whirlwinds running through the fjord and our mobile home shaking like grass in the wind. So we moved away searching for a more sheltered place which we hope having found. Nighty night everyone.
Bank Holiday weekend was wayyy too short for our second visit to the bonnie Cairngorms, so it was with heavy hearts that we started our return journey. And the more the mountains receded, the more my mood sank. :(
After hours and hours of driving and shooting all by ourselves we saw a car in front of us apparently also rushing towards Kirkjufell mountain for sunset :)
Old turn of the century, mid 1800's to late 1800's possibly Dutch reformedt, or Methodist Church. Classic American turn of century design. Cintondale, NY
Our apprroach to Kirkjufell mountain and its waterfalls occurred after a 420 miles day ride and at the perfect hour to witness the beginning of a beautiful sunset.
On our way from the Central Highlands to Iceland's Northern coast with its splendid fjords we had a very memorable tunnel crossing: 7.3 kiloimetres of single lane tunnel with passing places like the one to the right every now and then. On top there were some issues with the tunnel walls left as raw rockface in some parts like in the foreground of this image, where the walls had been covered with textiles hangings of sorts, which made the tunnel look like a theatre stage
