Should Be A Postcard
The lighthouse at Algoma, Wisconsin stands in bold silhouette before a summer Lake Michigan sunrise. A glorious morning to photograph one of my favorite subjects.
This photo was taken in September of 2015 and has managed to go unnoticed on my hard drive…until today.

Badlands Spectrum of Colors
This is one of my favorite views of Badlands National Park. This is a panorama of the Yellow Mounds section of the park.
I love the variety of the landscape – from the stripped, rugged rock formations in the background to the yellowish hued mounds accented with red shoulders, to the green valley with a creek bed coursing through it.
If you look closely, on the hill to the far left, you can see cars of park visitor on the road. To see that and other details in this image, click on the photo for a much larger view.

Devils Tower National Monument
This tower of rock is a beaut of a butte! This is Devils Tower National Monument in northeastern Wyoming. It was a little out of our way when we visited South Dakota but, as you can see, well worth the drive. I suspect you will see future posts from this visit.
According to Wikipedia, “Devils Tower is a butte, possibly laccolithic, composed of igneous rock in the Bear Lodge Ranger District of the Black Hills, near Hulett and Sundance in Crook County, northeastern Wyoming, above the Belle Fourche River. It rises 1,267 feet above the Belle Fourche River, standing 867 feet from summit to base.”

Morning Lake Mist
This is an early morning view of Stockade Lake in West Custer Township of South Dakota. Stockade Lake is the largest of Custer State Park’s five lakes. This image was captured just before the sun rose over the trees.

Crazy Horse Memorial
This is the closest we got to the Crazy Horse Memorial on our recent trip to South Dakota. It was impressive in size, but clearly they have a lot of work to do. They’ve been at it for 75 years.
The Crazy Horse Memorial is a mountain monument under construction on privately held land in the Black Hills, in Custer County, South Dakota, United States. You can learn more at Wikipedia.

Horsetail Falls
Horsetail Falls is a waterfall located on Horsetail Creek along the Columbia River Gorge in Multnomah County, in the U.S. state of Oregon. The falls drop over a cut over the columnar basalt cliff within the Oneonta Gorge. It is one of the waterfalls along the Columbia River Highway’s waterfall corridor. (From Wikipedia.)
In October of 2023 I attended a church leadership conference in Portland. When time afforded, we took in some of the local sites and landscape. This was the first Oregon waterfall of many I photographed on that trip. I will, no doubt, post more when time and inclination align.

Yellow Mounds of the Badlands
This is a panoramic view of South Dakota’s Badlands National Park. This was taken in the Yellow Mounds area of the park. This is another one of those “otherworldly” places.
This is a very large image and the normal size screen can’t begin to do it justice. Still, you can get a much larger, full-screen view by clicking on the image. When you do a much larger version will open in a new browser tab. Enjoy!

Otherworldly
This is a wide-angle view of the unique landscape found at Badlands National Park in South Dakota, USA.
I took a different approach to this image. Using a fisheye, wide-angle lens, I was able to squeeze a lot of geography into the frame. Normally to see this view, you would have a much wider image. (Compare my previous post of a similar landscape.) This particular lens also adds a curvature to the horizon.

Big Badlands Overlook
This was our first view of the amazing scenery at Badlands National Park in South Dakota. This observation point is known as the Big Badlands Overlook. This was our first visit to the Badlands and it was stunning, to say the least.
This is a very large image, created by stitching 6 individual photos together. It is so large that it is hard to take it all in. To get a sense of the grandeur, you need to view the largest version your screen will allow. Simply click on the photo and a large version will open in a new browser tab. Take your time and browse the image.

Baird Creek Bed
This is a summertime view of Baird Creek – a natural treasure that winds through northeast Green Bay, Wisconsin.
I took this photo while on a recent hike along one of the well-kept nature trails that accompany the creek. It’s a great place to get out into nature while still in the city.
