Sunfish


Here is the Sunfish from the cabin at the lake. Some say the best time for a sail is just before the storm. You get an exiting ride but better watch out that the wind does not die down, otherwise, you just might have to swim for it when the hail comes (been there).

Northern Coast


An image from the upper coast of Aruba, taken many years ago. The intense blue sky is part real, part polarizing lense on my old 35mm Minolta. (That camera served me well for over a decade, but now I have converted mostly to digital.) The North coast of Aruba is more scenic, and as those of you have visited will know, especially near the beach at Dos Playas ;-)

Blackwater Falls


A converted color image of Blackwater Falls, taken just outside of Davis, WV. The water volume was high after several days of heavy rain, and there was a nice cool mist in the canyon below.

Snowdon


Waterfall at Mt. Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales (3560 ft.), taken while travelling in the UK after my brother's wedding in London. Being part Welsh (& Swiss on the other half), sometimes I sometimes take a strange pride in the fact that the Welsh people once held one of the longest insurrections in recorded history. Cymru am byth!

Ridgefield Point at Promised Land


This is another photograph from Promised Land State Park in northeastern Pennsylvania. It was taken from a spot along the trail of Conservation Island, looking towards Ridgefield Point. It is a wonderful place to hike with views of the lake, forest, ferns, and a cool rock climbing formation along the way to boot. As a bonus, if you go in July, (and if the bears have not been there first), you can snack on the ripe blueberries growing along the bushes along the shore...
