Each time I was on Ometepe, something interfered with my ability to complete the hike across the Maderas volcano. After a while it became more annoying than anything else. The night we completed the hike was lovely. I also remember I had a student who thought it was important for me to complete the hike…

It was the early 90s and Tulum was clearly a resort, but not as trendy as it is now. Regardless it always requires good hydration and a hat if you visit. (Tulum, Mexico, 1993)

Rob the Hound Dog loved the desert. Hikes through South Mountain Park were one of his favorite things to do. The year we lived there was a wet winter so the park was filled with spring flowers (Phoenix, Arizona, 2005)

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)

. . .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,…
