Cliche Adirondack stream

A rocky stream in the Adirondacks of New York. A bit of a cliche mountain shot, but the Adirondacks are literally chock full of shots like this. :) Click to enlarge.

Sugarbush Farms Chapel

Today's photo is from the Sugarbush Farms chapel in Woodstock, Vermont. This chapel is a bit enigmatic -- it's not the kind of thing you'd expect in the middle of a wood. If you're in to very small, romantic weddings, they do rent the chapel out. Click to enlarge.

Heisenberg Highway

Today's photo was shot on a lark while me and my friend Josh were zipping down a Vermont highway after an evening of looking for (and eventually finding) moose. Bit abstracty, but I like it. I used a longish exposure and set my elbow on his Prius' center console so the vibration would translate up to the camera. Click to enlarge.

Watch that first step

This is a little bit of lens trickery. These stairs were pretty steep -- but nowhere near as steep as my wide angle lens would suggest. :) I shot this at High Falls Gorge in the Adirondacks of New York. Nice little stop-by-the-road, but in all honesty, I'm not sure why they charge such a high fee to visit the place. Click to enlarge.

Poop?

I have no idea what this is all about -- but we came across these three androids in Woodstock, Vermont. Glancing at Flickr, apparently they're a fixture of sorts in the town. Click to enlarge

October Vermont

There isn't much skill in taking a picture like this -- nature does all the work. Click to enlarge.

The Road to Whiteface

Today's shot is from Whiteface Mountain in the Adirondacks of New York. We came across a great clearing off the highway and snapped some shots of the clouds scraping the peaks. This pictures makes me wish I still had a motorcycle! Click to enlarge.

That Tree Shot

Today's photos are from a car trip out into the Adirondacks with my best friend Josh. We came across a small patch of forest near a lake -- and I had to get the cliche "tree shot" that you always see with the wide-angles. That's Josh at the end, after I asked him to "strike some kind of pose". Snoop Josh? Click to enlarge.

What kind of plant is this?

I'm pretty ignorant about horticulture. Anyone know what kind of plant this is? I found it growing along the banks of a lake in Vermont. Click to enlarge.

Lake Abstracts

Reeds and leaves in a lake in rural Vermont. I love nature abstracts. :) Click to enlarge.

Near Lake Placid

A rainstorm rolls into Lake Placid, New York. This was shot this past October. Autumn in the northeast is quite dramatic! Click to enlarge.

Cloudtopped

Whiteface Mountain in the Adirondacks of New York -- beautifully cloudtopped this past October. Click to enlarge.

Skywedge

Both me and my friend Josh saw this about to happen as we wandered about a lake in the Adirondacks of New York, and both of us pretty much bolted to the edge of the lake and held our cameras up, waiting for the light to do this. Talk about right place at the right time! Click to enlarge.

Big Ben

A night shot of Big Ben from the winter of '07. From all the articles I've read, I get the feeling if I were taking this picture today, I'd be stopped by police. :) Click to enlarge.

I have no idea

I'll be honest with the readers of this blog: I have absolutely no idea why I like this picture. It's muddled, it's dark, and it's boringly composed. But for some reason I like it. This was shot atop Mount Mansfield in Vermont this past October. Click to enlarge.

Stairwell

Today's photo is of an old stone stairwell at Yorkminster in York, UK. These things tend to very get narrow in spots -- I often wonder what happened if someone happened to be walking up the stairs at the same time that someone else was walking down. Was there an awkward sideways monk-shuffle?

Fall color

The many colors of a Vermont October. Many thanks to my buddy Josh (who's also a photographer) for putting me up for a week and driving me all over the state -- I saw more colorful trees in the span of a week than I'd seen in all the rest of my life. Click to enlarge.

Sailboats at dawn

I shot this with my buddy Josh in upstate New York (Lake Champlain), just after taking over the ferry from Vermont. Click to enlarge.

Who?

A shot of a caged owl at a nature safari in eastern Nebraska. Incredible birds. Click to enlarge.

Lake Clouds

Some interesting clouds hovering over a lake in upstate New York. Me and Josh came across this scene at sunrise after the ferry crossing from Vermont. Click to enlarge.
