Here are my kids walking down one of the long hallways there. Well, that guy on the left is not my kid. He's one of the military dudes. Come to think of it, I have not seen a lot of difference between the way the police look and the way the military looks. They all seem pretty nice though; even those ones that arrested me a few years ago!

Chaukori - Earthern Bowl of Kumaon
The kaleidoscopic hill station of Chaukori is one such place where the dreamers can turn their imaginations into reality. Besieged by the imperial Himalayas and the thick woodlands, Chaukori offers a spectacular view of the gorgeous Nanda Devi, Nanda Kot, and the Panchachuli peaks.
This dreamy village is tucked at an elevation of 2,010 meters above sea level. ( Source - @euttaranchal )

Continuing with the New Zealand South Island RareView photography tour. Setting off for an early morning drive to Milford Sound to catch the morning cruise. This view caught my eye so we stopped for a minute and I took this image

After the overly expensive and entirely unsatisfying breakfast, I nestled myself at the bottom of the ski runs for some action shots. I couldn't figure out which one was best, so I made a collage.
This is where my Russian friend first produced a bottle of cognac from his inside breast pocket. And it was not a small bottle.
Even more baffling, during at least ten other major photography moments, he would pull a brand new cognac bottle from a different pocket. He was like a clown with endless streams of hidden tardis-like pockets. On one of the final nights of the hike, in fact, we were running low on food and there was nothing to drink. Upon hearing this, he simply raised his eyebrows and pulled out three full bottles of cognac and set them upon a log.
This is the Perito Moreno Glacier, and this thing is over two miles wide. Unfortunately, everything is so huge in the photo that you can't get a sense of the scale. When you see huge chunks cleave off, it all happens in slow motion, just like the movies. And the sound is like an icy thunder.
Daily Photo - Beautiful Disney World at Sunset
Hey, you know... I can't stay mad at Disney for too long. I think those issues are just at Downtown Disney.
This photo above, from Epcot, is one of the reasons I keep coming back again and again. It's such an amazing place, and Epcot may be my favorite new spot for photography at Disney.
This is the "France" area of the World Showcase, which is a huge lake that is circumnavigated by about 10 different countries or so. Each one has a cluster of buildings set in the theme of the country. They are all quite authentic, and the areas are staffed with people from the countries. The Norway area has authentic-looking and -sounding Norwegians. The Germany area is filled with Germans in postcard-German-clothes. The Canada area has people that look and sound like Americans.
The afternoon had ripped open a wicked thunderstorm on the whole park. It was subsiding around sunset, so the clouds were swirling about with these wonderful tempestuous formations. I set up to take this shot before moving over to the Japanese area to watch the big fireworks show on the lake. While I was taking these shots, by the way, I had sent my family into one of the pastry shoppes here in the France area to load up on wonderful little morsels to keep us fully loaded during the fireworks show!
If you have seen the wonderful fireworks show at Epcot -- where is your favorite place to stand? I've got a new spot.. I'll reveal that with a bunch of new tips/ideas soon!
Minor Altercation
A few nights ago, I had a minor photography/police incident at Downtown Disney (Twitter followers saw the ordeal realtime). Everything is resolved now, and maybe a result of the whole thing is that security will be easier on photographers in the future. We live in hope!
Now, I've never had a problem using tripods or "professional-looking equipment" at any of the Disney Parks, like the Magic Kingdom or Epcot, but Downtown Disney seems to have a special set of rules. I was approached by security when they saw the tripod - they asked what I was doing. I said I was a blogger and was taking personal photos. They pressed me more. They asked if I had permission, and I said that in fact I did have permission, although that should not matter; I'm just a photographer taking photos of a place to show the world some beautiful things.
I didn't have my ID with me, since everyone in Disney World carries around these little Disney ID cards that you get at the resorts. You charge food, goodies, and everything on it. You don't need a wallet or anything, so I just leave that back at the resort. Since I didn't have ID, they called in the Sheriff's Department. I called my wife, who was shopping elsewhere with the kids to swoop in and vouch for me.
My wife was of course quite worried and upset, seeing me surrounded by four security guards and a newly-arrived member of the Sheriff's department. Luckily (I guess?), she had her ID with her. The police took all her information down (why?) and then left. I assume they finally got the right people on the phone at Disney that knew who I was and that I had permission.
However, I still strongly believe that even if I didn't have permission, that I, or any other photographer, should be allowed to take photos. It's 2010! Everyone else is taking crappy photos with their mobile phones and uploading to Twitter, Flickr, Facebook, and all over the place. I'm doing the same thing as them, but mine are simply taken with a bigger, nicer camera. What's the crime? Even more importantly, all I'm doing is promoting the beauty of this place to hundreds of thousands of people here on the blog.
With what little influence I have at Disney, I suggested that they tell the powers-that-be to stop bothering photographers (I know good man William Beem, among others, also had a run-in). I understand there are some new conversations in the works, but I don't know if anything will really change. Let's hope so.

For most of my life, I've generally only known the Matterhorn for the ride in Disneyland! I mean, I always knew it was a real mountain... and I've seen photos of it and stuff... but seeing it there in the middle of the Alps was really cool.
I think I was lucky while here in Zermatt, Switzerland. I understand that it is often occluded by clouds, so this was a lucky day indeed!
Zermatt was a really great little town -- I'd love to go back and spend some more time there!

Most people don't know this, but I wrote a novel about 15 years ago. The reason no one knows about it is because it was so awful that no one would publish it. I printed out the first few chapters of the book, sent them to countless publishers, and then received countless rejections. I should have saved of them. It was quite depressing at the time, and it only took me 14 years to get over it.
Anyway, I bring this up because part of the story was based in Kyoto, Japan, where this temple is located. I had never been there before, but this is exactly how I always pictured it: peaceful, still, natural, ancient, with the soft sounds of the woods echoing around the old wood. It's a wonderful place. I've done my best to capture the feeling of the place. I only hope I've come close to succeeding.
