On the the Golden Chain highway that sort of runs from Sacramento south to Yosemite is an area of lakes and reservoirs. This particular patch of water is part of the very large Don Pedro reservoir that snakes close to the road so we were able to get a close look at it. As it was…

Based on the last Half Dome photo I posted it looks like this is a pretty popular national park. I enjoyed every minute of being there. I took this one from a lookout near Glacier Point Road after a bit of hike around there. I thought I’d start sharing some of the techniques I use.…

The infamous Zabriskie Point, more famously known as a movie is actually a lookout over an interesting landscape of yellow, brown and black rock formations called Badlands. Death valley itself straddles California and Nevada and as its name suggests is hot, dry, dusty and surprisingly the biggest national park in the lower 48 states of the US. But probably not…

The Yucatan peninisula is home to some of the worlds greatest pyramids. Chichen Itza is the most famous but this one at Uxmal near Merida is, in my humble opinion, just as gob smacking and without the tourists. There are many other ruins but the Gran Pyramid is the show stopper. Despite it being the middle of…

You may have noticed that i have been posting twice a week for a while now, except for last week when I forgot! Things just got away from me and next thing you know I’ve missed it. This is my take on the famous granite Half Dome mountain in Yosemite. It rises nearly 1500m from…

The run down Havana oozes character and music. Just about everywhere you go there’s someone playing music mostly what’s called son, made popular worldwide by Buena Vista Social club. There was a band in every restaurant, every club, every bar and on on almost every street corner including these old guys in the the Catedral de la Habana…

For anyone looking to visit Mexico but is a bit unnerved by the bad press Mexico gets these days, they should go to San Miguel de Allende in the state of Guanajuato. Located 274 km form Mexico city, it’s as western as it gets with its large population of foreign retirees, artists and writers, most of whom…

The Tour Du Mont Blanc is a 170 km circular hike around the tallest mountain in the Alps. Starting in France the track passes through both the Swiss and the Italian Alps before returning back to France. The spectacularly placed Rifugio Elisabetta is located on the side of the hill next to the GL (Glacier)…

In Arizona there’s a small town called Jerome. Jerome was the epicentre of copper mining before being deserted and then lovingly restored into the trendy chic town it is now. These couple of guys had just ridden into town and were having a bit of chuckle outside one of the many bars. What they were…

The only road out from the eastern side of Yosemite is, Highway 120. It climbs up to a height of over 3000 metres through the Tioga pass. Lake Ellery was one of two lakes near the roadside just before reaching the highest point. It was early morning and the fresh clear air made for good…

North west of Seattle in Washington state USA, is the Olympic Peninsula. It’s main attraction is the very wet rainforests, coastal scenery and the odd body of water like this one here, Lake Crescent. On this day the weather was pretty average but if you waited long enough enough light would appear to give you…

Random images from my portfolio. Comments and question always welcome. The low cloud over the Columbia river gorge near Portland presented itself perfectly.

Dubrovnik is a beautiful place but it can be overrun with tourists. I took this from the city walls looking straight down the Placa which runs from one side of the old town to the other. I love the reflection from the tiled street. Makes it look wet.

Another in series of random images from my portfolio. Comments and question always welcome. One of the many advantages a full frame DSLR has over any other camera with a cropped sensor is the shallow depth of field. Here on the city walls (ramparts) that surround the beautiful city of Dubrovnik the views are sensational.…

In a dusty corner, in the Karadjozberg mosque in Mostar, three Korans were sitting on the window sill on book pedestals in the sunlight. To me it was a tranquil spot that begged me to make a picture and this is result.
