Denali / Mount McKinley Summit






The Pilot told me he had been flying the mountain for 5 years and had never experienced as clear a day as this.

I believe it should be called Denali. No man's name could describe the vastness of Alaska, or this "Mon-tane''.

Trinity Site


In the New Mexico desert stands this simple sign insufficiently warning the world of human conditions. Complacency, greed, arrogance, and a closed mind to other Religions are not the friend of your grandchildren.

Nelumbo Nucifera


This is a plant growing in my pond. As invasive as it is beautiful, it grows in as much as 8 foot of water here, so it's not good for most ponds. There is a legend that mentions The Buddha emerging from the Ganges upon its leaf.

Crowfoot Mountain and Bow Lake, Canadian Rockies










 In recent years, I've been thinking that, the admiration of beauty can nearly equal, that in the vista.
