My beautiful nephew!

Very minimal background editing; his eyes are completely unedited.

 

- Day Four -

 

After our trip around Apgar Mountains, we headed eastward. We drove route 2 through the Rocky Mountains until we met the rolling hills and plains. It felt like we were in a western movie; we even saw buffalo to top it off! We drove out to the town of Browning, where we met a woman in a curio store. She was very knowledgeable & gave us a map to our next destination - Two Medicine Lake & Running Eagle Falls. We saw some beautiful & curious things along the way!

 

I rarely take photos from a moving car window, but the blur of the foreground, the direction of the clouds, the mountains on the horizon - everything seemed to come together. It almost depicts how our trip felt to me, fleeting but beautiful.

 

Close-up Nature Exploration

 

I began this small collection of photographs a while back and I hope to expand/explore much more when I can get my hands on a macro lens.

So having climbed up Mt Vesuvius first thing the same morning it was so powerful to visit Herculaneum the lesser regarded town that was destroyed in the eruption of 79AD.

 

A much smaller site with very rich mosaics and multi-floored homes, it is a site of wealth and power. To capture an image of the excavation of Herculaneum and the modern town of Ercolano under the watchful eye of Mt Vesuvius the destroyer of towns sent shivers down my spine.

Located in the courtyard between blocks 10 & 11 the "Death Wall" was where an estimated 4500 people took their last breath. After being sentenced to death by a criminal court they would be led to the wall for their final moments. The windows facing the wall in blocks 10 and 11 boarded so the atrocities couldn't be witnessed by others awaiting "judgement".

More pictures to come from my trip in Oregon

The Gdansk sign on the embankment looking back to the Amber Sky Ferris Wheel.

From 2 years ago in my early days of photography. I was 15 years old when I took these shots.

I was using my old Nikon d3200 with a 40mm 2.8 lens

One of the "Stop" signs just in front of a guard tower and the electric fences at Auschwitz I. Often some of the prisoners last resort they would throw themselves at the electrified barbed wire in hope of ending their misery.

"Get me out of this town." Just something different from me. The lighting was right and the locomotive looked so powerful and interesting.

A stretch out of a selection of the Chelmsford Graffiti wall on a visit after finishing work one afternoon.

- Day Four -

 

We started our day early and headed east towards Glacier National Park. Instead of taking the main road to the entrance, I suggested driving the longer way around to explore, why not? We are glad we took the path less traveled because we saw some awesome sights all around the Apgar Mountains!

 

When we stopped at this river, a deer was drinking from it and then decided to swim across :) A bit too far away for a good photo though.
