Photos from a trip in October 2022 to the Canyon Rims area of Utah. This wonderful desert is managed by the BLM and is just south and west of Moab, and along the eastern border of Canyonlands National Park. The area is now comprised of two large sections, the northern being mostly the Hatch Point …

Autumn Ecstasy

Autumn,… my favorite season. The nostaliga is heavy, and at the same time enlightening, calling me back to a better place, back beyond the veil of this life. Here is a gallery of recent fall photos, along with some of my favorite quotes on the nostalgic mood, the mood that can lead us within. Soon …

Trail Ridge Road

I heard Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park opened on Wednesday afternoon of the 5th of June. I got up early on the morning of the 6th and drove up to take a look. If you’ve never been there early in the season, it’s worth the trip. Not quite as crowded, and the …

The views were wonderful, I especially …

I’ve visited them many times over the years, and after a trip there in August, have put together a gallery for you.     The Park Range is in Colorado, with the Sierra Madre and …

Castles of Ireland

  I was lucky to tour Ireland for the third time this spring, and saw more of its castles and ruins. I had a wonderful guide, whose driving skills and patience gave me a first hand look at some of these fine ruins.   The first one was a short hike from my host’s home, …
