Above a Calving Glacier

Hovering above crevasses, 200 feet deep. Some of these sheets of ice are acres in size. The pilot said we couldn't hang around long, should one fall over, it would blow on us pretty hard.

South Coast of Spain

Driving along the southern coast of Spain from Barcelona to the French border, picturesque coastal villages make you want to stay.

Napali Coast, Kauai

My wife took this shot off her side. I wished we could have made another pass a thousand foot lower to get a better shot of the water.

These pinnacles are from 3 to 4 thousand foot, so imagine the height of the waterfall. We only saw it for an instant, then it was gone. One of those 5 seconds of magic that makes life such a gracious gift.

Ship Rock, New Mexico

I was told by one of the local Navajo, that a great bird from the north carried the early Navajo people to this place where it landed and turned into stone. Ship rock is the most unadvertised and unlabeled landmarks I've ever seen. Don't look for any signs. If it looks like ship Rock it probably is. I arrived late evening and drove around the huge chunk of desert pasture surrounding it, looking for some kind of ticket booth, maybe a park headquarters. Nope, maybe this isn't it I thought. I then drove down a long dirt road to its base. I said if this ain't it somebody made a hell of an imitation. Driving back to an old gas station to fix a flat I'd been airing up, I asked the attendant why no signs? He said "it doesn't need any". Asking if it was OK I went to take a look at it He said ,"you just came from there, I watched you from here" I said yea that's true but I'd like to go back. He replied "that would be OK I guess, just have respect for us on our land".

Spirit Lake, Washington

This is an aerial of Spirit lake below Mount St. Helen's ten years after the eruption. In the far end of the lake, floating logs form a huge raft. Below the lake bottom, Harry Truman along with his vacation lodge are entombed beneath 600 feet of volcanic ash. The floating logs are now starting to sink root end first and becoming petrified upright, at a very rapid rate by the chemical elements of the lake bottom silts and ash. The Lake water once void of oxygen from poisonous gasses bubbling from the bottom, is now springing back to life with aquatic plants and fish.
