Muir Woods National Monument ~ Mill Valley, California
Still combing the archives...I have THOUSANDS of images that, for one reason or another
(generally due to having NO FREE TIME!), I've never posted.
This one is from this last spring on a little day trip to the beautiful Muir Woods. I posted
another pic of this magical place last year. It's shown below.

We wait with others
half-drowsing for what
bus or train or plane
will take us this night
as the world sleeps
as those about us
wonder if they will leave
on time and arrive when
no one will be there
to meet them and lights
outside the window
are pale fluorescent,
aswarm with bugs
and the air is foul,
diesel and smoke
and the horizon
is a dark line against
a darker, moonless sky,
and faint sounds
muffled by distance
seem like sirens or
something worse,
of many voices
howling in pain;
your small valise
and matching carry-on
are full of gifts
from your travels,
little to show
less to remember
the longer you wait
--Miguel de O
This image of twilight just before sunrise in Acadia National Park is also posted as a standard photo. This was worked on to have a more painterly effect. (image 1864) Please also visit: acadiamagic.com.

Some photos have a appearance more compatible with the painted arts rather than that of photography and some excursions are simply unfathomably gratifying from an artistic perspective. Such was this particular trip to Tanzania. I am feeling the need to return.
I was quite shocked how this image came out after taking this a couple of nights ago here at Double Arch in the Arches National Park. The clouds were lingering heavily in the sky that night so there weren’t any opportunities to capture the Milky Way. However, the past two nights have been quite successful with clear skies. I’ve been able to stay up all night, shooting at different locations within the park, and capturing the Milky Way like never before. It has been a busy schedule with hiking and fighting the crowds during the day, but entering the park in the middle of the night, without a single person in sight, has been such a privileged experience.
I’m really excited to share the rest of the images with you all, but unfortunately it’s going to have to wait until I return. This isn’t my ‘normal style’ of shooting the night sky, but I have to say, I had a lot of fun doing it. What do you think?
Sorry to post and run... I’m really looking forward to looking at everyone’s work when I return and getting some much needed rest. Funny how my vacations turn into work days...
Stay tuned!!

Another amazing Swiss summer sunset as the country sizzles.
Looks best on black.

During a photoworld exhibit, she was probably the only model available for shoots; hence, there were several of us jostling for position to take her picture. This isn't the best angle but I was avoiding bodies and elbows to get a clean shot. I suppose she is really a painter too.
