Second to last of the year (though I noticed that I did miss a few days). One that I tagged quite a while back but never posted, from a kayaking adventure to Lime Island four or so years ago. Pictures taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 17-85mm lens @ 22mm, f/16,… Continue reading
A different kind of picture from Italy. Taken from Murano Island off of Venice where much of the fancy hand blown glassware that the place is famous for is made. I didn’t make it out to the island when I was in Italy in 2001, so it was kind of… Continue reading
By the time we got to Riomaggiore it was pretty much night – we went into town and got a few beers, walked back out to the point to watch the sunset and drink our beers and then hiked up the hill over the town while waiting for the train. … Continue reading
Looking back north in the evening from Riomaggiore, the southernmost town in Cinque Terre. Pictures taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 10-22mm lens @ 44mm, f/6.3, 1/100 sec, ISO 100
OK, last one of Vernazza… Looking back as we were hiking out of town. I’m not sure why I have a disproportionate number of pictures from Vernazza – must have been the most picturesque town of the five. Pictures taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 10-22mm lens @ 17mm, f/16, 1/160… 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
We actually got up early and left Aberdeen right around 7AM headed for the Mt. Ellinor trail head which we reached around 9:00. I think there were two trail heads for Mt. Elinore and we were heading for the upper, which involved many miles of bumpy dirt road to access. … Continue reading
Because we stopped short of Olympic National Forest, we had to finish the drive up to Quinault first thing in the morning. The first stop was a the USFS / NPS Recreation Information building where we got a map of the immediate area (not so much Olympic National Park as… Continue reading
Day 4 entailed a lot of driving, with a few stops along the Oregon coast mixed in. Our first attempt was a lighthouse very near Newport, but the line of cars just to get into the park was extending beyond visible range of the entrance so we took the hint… Continue reading
