One of the most unexpected jaw dropping spots on our cross country trip this year— Big Horn Mountains.

One of the best places to see the bridge is from Fort Point, in the city.

Looking toward the coast on the Hilo side of the big island. I know most people like the Kona side better, but not me.

Photo looking up from the valley in Zion National Park.

One of the coolest places in the southwest.

One of the best shots I got while in Altos de Campana National Park, in Panama. I was just learning how to use the DSLR, so seeing this made me happy.

Years ago I ended up working in Alabama for a summer. One day, while trying to escape the coast, I just drove north, not really knowing the geography of the state.

Ended up in Selma, and to this day it’s one the most impactful places I’ve been.

Looking up the coast in Pacifica, the other day. Always loved this town.

St. John’s co-cathedral, in Malta.

The exterior of this place in no way prepares me for the ornate interior.

Snow in the desert it’s one of the most beautiful things that I’ve ever seen (several times). These B&W shots were taken along the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada.

I really liked the red door with limestone combination while we were in Malta.

Always been one of my favorite views, from Devil’s Slide.

Sometimes I miss living near the coast- because there isn’t much that tops an ocean sunset.

We’ll always have Paris.

Home of the coolest metro signs in the solar system.

Half excavated Moai in Rapa Nui. The quarry there was really one of the most interesting things I’ve ever seen.

At first I was pretty upset when they closed down Devil’s Slide to cars, thought I’d never see it again.

Happy to report that I was very wrong.

Another thing I really liked about Malta was the narrow winding streets like these:

I know it’s a bit cliche, taking pictures of doors, but some of the ones in Malta really caught my eye.
