Copenhagen Swans

A pair of swans in a canal in Copenhagen

From my recent trip across the pond.  Given the Hans Christian Andersen connection, I couldn’t resist.

Columns of Light and Shadow

The light and shadows just called for Black & White.

This section of side walk is near the waterfront of Copenhagen, Denmark.

The Chicago Skyline

I was in Chicago recently and took this picture from Navy Pier of the city skyline.

From the backlot tour in DisneyWorld’s Hollywood Studios.  This park visitor is about to get very, very wet.

Paddington: The Station and the Bear

I was in London a few years back and the hotel I was in was right next to Paddington Station.

Now if you have kids, you probably know who Paddington Bear is.  The bear is named after the station, because that is where he is found in the original story.   There is a statue of Paddington Bear in Paddington Station.

Of course I took a picture. :-)

Riding the monorails

I had half a day to spend in Walt Disney World, so I rode the monorail trains and toured the resort hotels.

Red WDW Monorail Train

This is a view you only get from the monorail.

It reminds me of the masks from the Tiki House.

New photos posted.

One in the domestic travel gallery, Triple Pipes in the This and That gallery, a photograph of Nevada Falls and one in the Events gallery.

A San Francisco Parrot Whisper

On on my trips to San Francisco, I got a good walking tour of the city from my friends Doug and Glenn.

We passed by a park that was had a cluster of people, photographers and parrots.  I learned that over the years, enough pet parrots have gotten loose to form a stable breeding population.   There were a number of these feral parrots in this park taking advantage of people showing up with sunflower seeds and apples.

I have more photographs of these parrots.

Fuzzy green stones

Just a bowl of fuzzy green stones I saw in a hotel in Southern California. File under Random Hotel Art.

Just remember kids, Art is Where You Find It.

Lost

This photography shows a slice of history. That tree was up in the Yosemite High Country, near Tiago Pass. It would see it and photography it during my fairly frequent trips to Yosemite.

This year it was gone. I don’t know what happened to it.
It was a plucky little tree growing in between some rocks at the edge of a meadow.

All that remains are my photographs of it.

This photograph is in my book Yosemite: A State of Mind.
