[singlepic id=1825 w=480 float=left] A second from the Zion Narrows showing a bit more of the narrow canyon look, though I think this was not the coolest slot canyon that we saw on the trip. Picture taken with Pentax Optio W60, lens @ 5mm (28mm eq), 1/80 sec shutter, f/3.5,… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1824 h=480 float=left] Back from a 2012 hike through the Zion Narrows – this was probably one of the cooler hikes I’ve done, but still ranks second to the Lake of the Angel hike I think. Unfortunately, I only had the little waterproof pocket camera since it was an… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1801 w=480 float=left] The Cut River Bridge just into Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. It seems like this was a consistent stop on the way to Grand Marais, or in this case a side trip from the initial destination of Mackinac Island and I’ve been there probably half a dozen times. … Continue reading
[singlepic id=1806] Day 7 was partially taken up with our descent from Lake of the Angels, partially taken up with our loitering at the trail head pondering what to do next and partially taken up driving toward Mt. Rainier. We stopped off at a hotel along the way as it… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1800 w=480 float=left] Round Island as seen from Mackinac Island. I haven’t actually been up there in a few years either by kayak or ferry, might be time for a trip. Of course, Mackinac is a tourist trap, but it’s still fun to walk around. Picture taken with Canon… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1799 w=480 float=left] Sea cucumber for sale at the Tsukiji Fish Market in Japan. Some time later in my WPC related travels, I had an ‘opportunity’ to try sea cucumber… I don’t recommend it. Picture taken with Canon Rebel 350D, EF-S 17-85mm lens @ 50mm, 1/50 sec shutter, f/5.6,… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1798 w=480 float=left] A different angle on the waves in Grand Haven – I’d like to have gotten in front of the light posts, but I also wanted to keep my shoes dry. Apparently, I’m not willing to make the sacrifices it takes to get the shot. Photo taken… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1797 h=480 float=left] Indeed it would appear that we did go up in the Pearl Tower as this perspective on the World Financial Center in Shanghai could only have been taken from there. There is an incredible amount of correction for haze on this picture that it’s really no… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1796 h=480 float=left] The Pearl Tower in Shanghai, China. I thought I had posted some of these before – but this was one of the buildings on what Josh called “Matt’s tall building tour” because when in foreign countries, there was often an observation deck / tourist attraction in… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1795 w=480 float=left] By the time this posts, I’ll actually be back in Germany for the second time in my life, 13 years later, and for a much shorter time. Maybe I’ll have some new pictures of cool things to post when I get back. This is some unknown… Continue reading
