At one time ferries were common across rivers, sounds, and lakes. There are still places where the ferry is the best option and Northwest Washington is one of those places if you are island hopping or going between places on the mainland. (Port Townsend Bay, Washington, 2020)

The Daniel W. Hoan Bridge has gotten some new lighting in recent years that makes a splash (as well as a good reflection. Hoan is widely recognized as one of the most effective mayors of the early 20th Century. The creation of what would become the County Parks System is among is many achievements. (Milwaukee,…

I like riding the early train out of Milwaukee to Chicago. The slow roll out of the station and through the south side of the city always makes me pause, look, and think of people taking this rail route over time. I also like to see the old Hoffco Shoe Polish Building. (Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 2017)

The big waterfalls that are tall and have a lot of volume are spectacular. However some of the prettiest are the small ones that slip off the edge of an embankment somewhere. Often they are nameless or we forget where they are. I had to dig in the metadata to find out where this was.…

I had been fiddling with my camera the week before and I didn’t realize I had my settings set for low resolution. I had a great day for shooting Goðafoss. There was great light, good angles, etc. The shots are pretty good, but not that great. (Goðafoss Waterfall, Iceland, 2025)

I’m always amazed when you can get next to critical infrastructure like the water supply for the City of Los Angeles. To be honest, this isn’t a recent photo, but the aqueduct runs across the state southward to LA. (Bishop, California, 2006)

Some of my nicer shots are sometimes when I’m not trying to take a real shot. I was adjusting my camera before getting ready to take some shots of the shoreline. I shot this one quickly to test the light. It wound up being one of the better ones of the evening. (Honolulu, Hawaii, 2008)

Last year I watched the Mackinac Bridge walk from about 20 miles west on White Shoal Lighthouse. This year it may be time to go “up close and personal” with the Bridge again on Labor Day. Who is up to join me for the walk? (Mackinaw City, Michigan 2014)

I made up that name because I liked it, but is is really Þingmannaá. The three levels of the waterfall made me want to make up a word play on Icelandic for 3 falls. (Flókalundur, Iceland. 2024)

Everyone starts somewhere. I’ve taken a number of waterfall shots over the years. Not sure if this is the first one, but it is probably close to it. I was 16 standing at the base of the falls with an instamatic camera. Everything could have been better in the shot, but given the technology limits…
