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. It’s not much more… Continue reading
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 was suspected… Continue reading
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 Rebel 60D, EF-S 18-135mm… Continue reading
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, ISO 800
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 with Nikon D80 (not… Continue reading
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 longer a good quality… Continue reading
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 the tall buildings. I… Continue reading
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 (to me) castle on… Continue reading
This is probably the one picture of the Auschwitz concentration camp that I think best sums up seeing it. One row of the buildings has been preserved, but the scale becomes more apparent when you realize that that’s an entire field full of the fireplaces that were in the buildings… Continue reading
I posted a picture of one of the chandeliers before, but I didn’t realize I had a picture that actually showed the size of some of the caverns left by the salt mining in Krakow, Poland. Also, special thanks to Olympus for putting an f/1.8 lens on the C2040z. Picture… Continue reading
