I took a lot of pictures of slight variations on this scene. In the end, I wasn’t a big fan of any of the compositions. Many didn’t turn out like I envisioned and the ones that did showed the sky as you see here – pretty flat and boring –… Continue reading
Sugar Loaf rock on Mackinac. Seems I have a number of pictures that seem interesting from that trip. I’m betting I’ve posted pictures of this thing somewhere before. It’s a big chunk o’ rock that juts up in the middle of Mackinac Island. Of course, it’s a rock, so I… Continue reading
This is a continuation of a post that I kind of started way back in 2011. There’s not much to that post – just a picture list, all of which are duplicated here, I think. It was before I migrated the site to use a true gallery plugin, so I’m… Continue reading
Moving off of the India pictures for a bit and back to the trip to Mackinac. This picture was taken during the day on the way over to the island. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 18-135mm lens @ 28mm, f/14, 1/400 sec shutter, ISO 800
Here’s a nice summer picture to offset the mid winter season… It’s a picture of Round Island from Mackinac Island. This is one of the preferred places to camp when kayaking to Mackinac, and the lighthouse is definitely a nice venue for watching the Mackinac Island fireworks over the Grand… Continue reading

Here’s a second shot of Half Dome taken at Sunset on our first day in Yosemite taken from Glacier Point. I believe there was a hike that we could have done ending at the point, but we had been doing other things throughout the day, so we just drove up… Continue reading
I’ve posted one similar to this before, but it was not this one, so I’m not breaking my rules. Of course, in some cases that means I could post what appeared to be the same picture for a month straight without truly repeating. This is a shot of Half Dome… Continue reading
Sunset in Grand Haven taken from Grand Haven State Park – this is an older shot from 2012 and taken at a time of year when it was warm out – which also had an influence on where the sun was coming down on the horizon, putting it North of… Continue reading
This one’s part of the “I’ve spent way too much time wandering around Lincoln Park Zoo” collection. It’s of the zoo’s prized camel. I felt I should include a picture to offset the number of panoramas I will inevitably post. I’ve seen rationalizations as to why we, humans, like horizontally… Continue reading
