Detail of a glacier, layers of ice. Waiting in orderly layers, sliding slowly down the mountain. Only to melt, then disappear forever, impossibly faster these days. Glad to see some before they’re gone.
Glacier Bay, National Park, #Alaska

The long rusted hulk of a shipwreck buried in the sand on the Oregon beach. Shallow water laps at the structure which is at a severe angle.

We drove on the beach along the Oregon coast in winter when it was deserted. This rusted skeleton of a shipwreck visible for miles away drew me toward it.

One of my favorites from Volcanoes National Park, Hawaii. Mauna Loa erupted just hours before and again hours after we were there. The area was supremely smoky and sulfurous.

Built over the water on piers, the gigantic mosque looms large on the landscape. Minaret climbing nearly 700ft into the cloudy sky

Interior main hall, stone tile floor extending far into the distance, vaulted traditional cedar ceiling with intense geometric forms, lit by gigantic chandeliers.

Vaulted geometric stone ceiling over a vestibule, I think below were restrooms.

The size of the complex alone leaves one standing in awe. Then there’s inside.

The seawater that runs through the town of Ketchikan Alaska was basically a gigantic tide pool while at low tide. Hundreds of creatures and birds are visible. Was cool to stop by the Stoney Moose dispensary, chill and watch for a while.

An aerial cityscape of downtown San Francisco. My Diablo looms in the distance over city streets and skyscrapers.

As someone who was born in San Francisco, seeing the city from this perspective was magical.

Take a peaceful moment away from the chaos of life with me. Smells are of moss, salt water, decaying Cedar.

Small boat on on the waterway surrounding Ketchikan Alaska, mountains rising in the distance, front of the boat in frame, islands dotting the right side. Clouds stretch across the sky.

Got to explore the glacier fed waters around Ketchikan, Alaska on one of the last warm autumn days of the year. Can still smell the fresh air.

Cadiz, Spain

Gorgeous ancient fortified city located β€œbeyond the Pillars of Hercules” at the mouth of the Mediterranean is stunning to behold. We walked for hours wandering the waterfront and narrow streets.

A massive Sitka Spruce tree, shot from below, towers over the forest scene. Roots are visible on the sloping hillside upon which it is growing. Moss hangs from every root and branch.

May all we see as many years as this mighty Sitka spruce. Easily the largest in the mossy rainforest it calls home. Salmon swim up into the nearby fjord every year and fertilize the soil. The whole area smells amazing, fresh AF.
