I love the High Line. It’s a great variation on the rails to trails concept but takes it further by developing the rail platform as a 1.5 mile linear park. I’ve walked it several times and some of my favorite photos of the city are along the line, (New York, New York, 2019)

Hubbard Park is one of the prettiest parks in Milwaukee County. It sits along the Milwaukee River with a restaruant, beer garden, and lots of green space. The old Chicago and Northwestern rail line runs next to the park (now a bike trail) and you have to enter through tunnels under the former rail line.…

I went with a friend to Governor’s Island in the Harbor. We took a long walk around the island that day. One of the more interesting finds was a “high end” campground. I like to camp. I like NYC. I want to do those things as “separates.” However it looked like grand fun. (New York,…

I’ve had more time the past few years for this activity. I’m always on the hunt for small and fun places that are less traveled. However, seeing the well-traveled big stuff is fun as well. It’s important to do both. (New York, New York, 2019)

. . .the conferrees hit the road. I have better photos of Zion from this day (and other days), but this was the day we broke loose from a dull conference and spent a glorious spring day in a national park. Best to show my co-conspirators. (Zion National Park, Utah, 2009)

This is my favorite photo of Gullfoss. Yesterday’s classic view is good, but this one reminds you of the power of water as the mist rises over the bank and the water continues down the Hvítá River. (Gullfoss, Iceland, 2024)

If you have been to Iceland, you have probably been here and this is the “classic view.” It’s a day trip from Reykjavik and a stop on the Ring Road. I’ve been there a number of times. This time it was fall and the grasses had turned amber along the Hvítá River. (Gullfoss Falls, Iceland,…

I was at a workshop in Buffalo and my colleagues and I decided to head out to the Falls after dinner. There were a lot of blurry photos of people I don’t remember, but I remember the evening and the eerie feeling of being there at night. (Niagara Falls, New York, 2005)
-
Up until this year, Niagara was the most impressive falls I had seen. It’s been a number of years since I’ve been there, but was always impressed by the stories surrounding the falls as much as the falls themselves. (Niagara Falls, New York, 2000)

When I went to Hawaii, I enjoyed Hilo the most. Although still a tourist destination, it felt like it life had a rhythm outside of tourism. Akaka Falls is over 400 feet tall and sits in a state park by the same name (Akaka State Park, Hawaii, 2008)
