This has to be the coolest restore of a '55 Chevy Belaire that I've ever seen.

Did my best for 1st time ever shooting an eclipse. These were just glimpses when there was a break in the clouds moving through.

This is our latest art exhibition at the Kissing Tree community center. A few of the artists whose work is being presented. We had a great "meet n' greet" for the residents to meet the artists.

In early November, I completed a workshop with NPAN (https://www.facebook.com/nationalparksatnight) at the Sleepy Hollow cemetery in New York. I had a great time wondering around an 85 acre cemetery for 3 nights, just me, a dozen other photographers and a lot of very old dead people.

I did make a new friend, Hugh, the headless horseman. I also learned it's very easy to get lost in a cemetery in the dead of night. Hope you enjoy some of what inspired me.

There are so many miles of beautiful ocean front along the Eastern seaboard of Australia. Some of the sights and my musings while letting it all flow through me.

These are stories I want to tell, what stories do they tell you?

It's been about 3 years since I've done any Astro-Landscape photography (thank you COVID), but finally getting back into it. A long re-learning curve, but here are the first from a week of staying out in the Southern Utah wilderness for a week, staying up until 2 or 3 AM. It feels great to be back at it.

Yesterday, I spent a good part of the day at Eilean Donan castle. Learned a lot of history from the people who work there. This is a private castle where the family still spends a lot of time. Got my required iconic shots, even the weather cooperated, sort of.

Started out today going to explore the far South of the Isle of Skye, the black Cullen area. Horizontal rain mixed with sleet/hail changed my mind for me. After doing laundry, decided to try the North end

The first part of this journey, Ggma Kay explored her Cameron heritage at the Culloden battlefields and Achnacarry, the Cameron estate. Today I found my Scandinavian heritage from the early Viking forages to these islands. Many villages, rivers, etc. with names of Scandinavian origin and people still living the same way of life and traditions of their ancestors.

The land around there, the Quiriang area, is rugged and beautiful and somehow, to me, absolutely captivating.

Got caught in wind driven rain for 2 days in a row, now in my room drying me and everything else out. Thought I'd check you up on some of my explorations of the Isle of Skye so far. This post is along the Northeast coast of the Isle. My intent was to catch the Old Man of Storr at sunset, but that was a bust.

there is commentary on each image.

This was the day, Sept. 20, that I checked an item off the bucket list. Rode the Harry Potter steam train (Jacobite train) round trip from Ft. William to Mallig, over the Glen Finnian viaduct.

More picture to come.
