A Bold Stand
A Wisconsin farm field provides a lush green foreground to a fence row of trees showcasing vibrant autumn colors of red, orange, and yellow. Overcast skies add a dramatic contrast to the vivid hues of the foliage.

Seeking Perspective
There are times when we all need to reflect and seek a little perspective. This foot bridge is a perfect point of perspective, spanning a gorge along the Eagle Creek Trail outside of Portland, Oregon.

A Peak at the Badlands
The Badlands are full of majestic rock formations that rise prominently from the vast, grassy plain below. This area of South Dakota has a very diverse landscape with rugged peaks and open grasslands that stretch as far as the eye can see.

Forest of Friendship Waterfall
A small, tranquil waterfall flows into a pond filled with lily pads, surrounded by lush greenery and tall grasses. This serene setting was found at the International Forest of Friendship near Atchison, Kansas. It is known as the “Joe Carrigan Memorial Waterfall.”
We enjoyed our recent visit to the International Forest of Friendship. It was a paved path through an area that featured tree species representing different countries and states. A very pleasant, green place. This waterfall and pond was part of the scenery. There were small goldfish in the pond, among the lily pads.
This is a panorama image – two separate photos joined together to give you a wider view. I was using a pretty wide angle lens to begin with, but it wasn’t wide enough to capture the full view you see here.

Patriots Tunnel Vision
As cars drive through the Doane Robinson Tunnel in Custer State Park in South Dakota they get a perfectly framed view of the Mount Rushmore monument.
The scenic roadway through Custer State Park were carefully planned and tunnels dug to frame the monument. Very cool to see.

Reflecting On the Mighty Mo
This is a pleasant, peaceful view of the Missouri River – standing on the Nebraska shore, viewing the Missouri shore. The cloud reflections in the water are what inspired me to take this shot. The tan areas in the foreground are where sunlight is filtering through the trees above, revealing the true color of the water.
We took a little trip to Indian Cave State Park. It’s located in the southeastern part of Nebraska, near Shubert. This photo was taken at the parking area of the Indian Cave.
This is not the greatest image, technically. I took this image with a wide, fisheye, lens – too get as much in the shot as I could. I also took three bracketed shots, hand-held, which gave me the ability to even out the bright sky and clouds with the dark, shaded foreground. However, by not having the camera on a firm tripod, this image is not as sharp as I would like.

Reflecting In Alabama
The tranquil Burnt Corn Creek meanders through Jennings Park in Brewton, Alabama, reflecting the surrounding greenery in the calm waters of this panoramic image.
I recently spent a weekend in Brewton Alabama. This creek runs along the border of Jennings Park – a beautiful attraction the locals can be proud of. It has paved trails, a long, raised boardwalk through a wooded area, an abundance of wild and cultivated flowers and this restful spot along the creek.
This panoramic image was produced by stitching five separate photos together to capture a wider perspective. To really enjoy the scene, I encourage you to click on the photo to view a much larger version.

Sunrise and Dark Shadows
The Kewaunee, Wisconsin lighthouse stands at the end of a long pier under a dramatic, morning sky.
I decided to process this one as a monochrome image. It was a dark and ominous scene and, though it was a little after sunrise, there wasn’t much color in the sky. I think the black and white treatment accentuates the contrast between the dark clouds and the light background reflecting off the surface of the water.

The Pause that Refreshes
This is one of the many waterfalls at Top of the Rock in Ridgeway, Missouri. (Near the Branson area.) The water flows over multiple rock ledges before it plunges into this pool, creating a very appealing and natural scene.
On a recent trip to the area we made our first visit to Top of the Rock. It is a resort area where they have a paved path through the woods and waterfalls and even a cave. You rent a golf cart and ride the course at your leisure. Very beautiful and quite enjoyable with lots of photo opportunities. This is a vertical panorama – combining three individual images to capture the full scene.

This Side of Heaven
The Chapel of the Ozarks overlooks beautiful Table Rock Lake. It is an attraction and wedding venue at Top of the Rock, Ridgedale, Missouri.
The promotional materials claim this stone chapel rests at the highest point in Taney County, Missouri. The back wall of this chapel is a curved, floor to ceiling glass wall that provides a panoramic view of the lake and valley.
This is a panoramic image created by stitching two photos together to give you this wide view.
