New Mexico/Colorado (September 2004)


P9111389.jpg

I took 990 photos (with my Olympus 5050Z digital camera) on this trip into the northern part of New Mexico and southwest Colorado. Scenery in that region is spectacular, especially on the 4x4-only roads in Colorado. Here are the most interesting photos from that trip.

New Mexico (April 2003)


P4120388.JPG.jpg

Stu and I drove to New Mexico in his Jeep so we could drive on some rather challenging roads. We found a few and encountered beautiful or otherwise interesting sights. Here is a sample of what we saw. All photos in this album were taken with my Olympus 3040Z digital camera.

SPa1010028.jpg

Stu and I traveled from Oklahoma to northern Minnesota, took the North Shore drive around Lake Superior, then visited my former residences in Alpena (Michigan), Moline (Illinois), and Canton (Illinois). I took about 400 photos on the trip with my Olympus 3040Z digital camera, and those presented here are the best or most interesting of the lot.

Texas (April-May 2002)

My parents and I went to Texas in late April and early May of 2002. The primary attractions were the botanical gardens in Austin (Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center), San Antonio and Fort Worth, and the Texas State Aquarium. The photos presented here are the best of the more than 400 that I took with my Olympus 3040Z digital camera.

Acadia National Park, Maine, USA
44.3026,-68.3431

This photo is essentially the same as the previous photo with this title (if you're viewing this sequentially), but is a slightly different direction.

Backlit cloud185 views2004-09-10
Black Canyon of the Gunnison Natl Park, east of Montrose, Colorado, USA

This cloud scene (above Chasm View) was interesting. ...Why yes, I am a meteorologist. Why do you ask? :-)

This is what remains of the Mickey Breene Mine.

Narrow road347 views2008-07-27
east of Huesa, Jaén, Andalucía, Spain
N37.7604 W3.0289 (approx.)

Narrow roads are common in Spain (and, I assume, most of Europe), but this is the main road (actually, it's the ONLY road -- and it's two-way!) through the small community of Belerdas. We went this way because the highway from Huesa to Quesada was closed due to construction, and this was the indicated detour from Huesa. Looking E.

Lake Martin, east of Lafayette, Louisiana, USA

These trees lined Lake Martin. This photo was taken around midday.

Orange cosmo190 viewsThis camera (usually) does a great job on flower pictures - as this picture of a bright-orange cosmo attests.

An antique Singer sewing machine at the Split Rock Lighthouse State Park. This sewing machine was in the building shown on the right (front) in the previous photo.

Acadia National Park, Maine, USA
44.3108,-68.3451

Acutally, this view is from the first landing of the stairs on the fire lookout station at the summit of Beech Mountain. This is looking SE, toward Southwest Harbor, Maine, and the Atlantic Ocean beyond.

Fire Lookout Station Atop Beech Mountain1253 views2012-10-13
Acadia National Park, Maine, USA
44.3109,-68.3454

We climbed to the top of Beech Mountain from the north side. This fire lookout station was closed, except up to the first landing on the stairs. According to Google Earth, this photo was taken at an elevation of 258 m. See also the photo of this fire lookout that was taken from the Sea Princess scenic cruise boat, also in this album.

Pine Cones623 views2012-10-13
Acadia National Park, Maine, USA
44.3114,-68.3454

These pine cones were unusually photogenic, against the bright blue sky. This photo was taken very near the summit of Beech Mountain (just north of the summit), and, I believe, within sight of the fire lookout station.

Spring Trail Meets Carriage Road550 views2012-10-12
Acadia National Park, Maine, USA
44.3212,-68.2605

Stu and I took the Spring Trail up as far as the steps (shown here) go, decided it wasn't for us (at least given the amount of time we had left to hike), and ended up going the other way on the Spring Trail (toward the Jordan Pond House). This photo was taken near the southeastern-most extent of Mount Penobscot.

44.3228,-68.2592

This photo was taken from a carriage road to the west of the south part of Jordan Pond, looking S. The water in the foreground is Long Pond (but not the Long Pond in other photos in this album!).
