For my father

An adaptation of my photograph from 1969 in Pelican Bay, Santa Cruz Island, California.  Santa Barbara 20 miles away on the horizon.  Every weekend we would come, my teenage friends and I, in my father’s 29 ft. sailboat, SEA COLT.  We brought half the food we needed and spent the rest of the day in […]

Lord Nelson’s Sunset

I have had a lot of discussion about this image in my Caribbean gallery so I am going to elaborate more on it.  I did an exploratory trip of the Caribbean in 1978 on an old 1930’s schooner for six weeks.  I traveled from the Grenadines to Antigua.  May 15, 1978 was the first time […]

The Canadian Maritimes

Image at left: Anchored off Norris Point, in Gros Morne National Park on the northwest coast of Newfoundland, +49° 30′ 36.70″N, -57° 53′ 11.19″W, we are greeted by amazing light of the morning sun.  A lone Zodiac driver waits for his call to duty on the side of the ship.  Meanwhile, he/she was the perfect […]

St. John’s to Halifax

Commentary on blogging:  It is best done when traveling alone.  That said, I’ll do a paragraph to get from St. John’s Newfoundland to Halifax, Nova Scotia where we will arrive in about 10 hours.  Ramea Islands were rainy, foggy and interesting, but not very special insofar as photography of my interests.  Gros Morne was wonderful, […]

Quatorze Juillet (Bastille Day)

I am heading to France in a month.  Well, not the motherland, but one of the last vestiges of her colonial past, the isles de la Collectivité territoriale de Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon.  These small islands are the only remnants of the empire of New France that extended from Newfoundland to the Rocky Mountains.  Along the way I’ll […]

Iceland – Day 12-15

Day 15 (July 5) At the airport in Reykjavik… and one last photo of food.  It’s only because this one was just so "beyond expectations" as Steve said.  This was breakfast.  $35.00.  And it wasn’t very good. What was good at the airport was the free Wi-fi connection to the Internet. Iceland Air charged me […]

Iceland – Day 11

Day 11 (July 1) Gistihúsið Egilsstöðum to Smyrlabjörg (thanks Steve for the correct spelling!) Click here for the Google Map (then zoom out, and click on "Hybrid" in the upper right, Google Maps lacks data for much of Iceland). A fairly early start for us, we were on the road by 9 a.m. I think.  […]
