Sometimes you just want to stop, look, and enjoy the show.

This shot was taken just after the sun had dropped below the horizon. The sky was overcast, but a small break in the clouds appeared in the west for just a few minutes at just the right time.

My favorite season. Cool nights, few bugs, golden light, and forests to get lost in.

A fine September morning, the grass heavy with dew and only the birds for company.

Flowering crabapple trees in late April this year. Finally, an end to a long and snowy winter. :)

The calls of the loons pay tribute to the end of a fine day in Northern Minnesota. Perfect, except for the mosquitoes.

Actually, it is... a pub I mean. You can stop in here for a pint at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival.

A bit of sunlight penetrated the dark woods here just before sunset, highlighting this small plant on the forest floor.

Autumn in the upper midwest is my favorite time of year. I always regret not having more time in the woods with a camera.

I thought I'd upload a winter landscape as a minor relief from the dog days of summer. This image was captured on a chill Minnesota morning in February.


Dark Crossing Uploaded: 08/02/10 12:29 AM GMT

Image: Dark Crossing

This boardwalk crosses Woodlake Marsh, located in the heart of the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area. The clouds on the horizon filtered the setting sun just enough to enable me to capture the foreground detail.

Image: Urban Sunset

This sunset was captured at the end of a long hike along the Minnesota River near the Mall of America. A couple of corporate office complexes are in the foreground.

Taken while out hiking about an hour before sunset. I used Photoshop to balance the exposure between the light and dark areas.

A fine summer evening on the shore of a local metropolitan-area lake.
