HUGE TIP: If you love sunset and sunrise shots like I do and want to improve yours, Laura Delegal has an AWESOME blog and she also shares a lot of great photography tips. Being incredibly clever she puts them under a tab at the top of her regular blog and calls it . . . wait for it . . . Photography Tips.  You can find her blog here and a great tutorial on photographing sunrises and sunsets here.  She did ask me for a few ideas which she added to the bottom, but it was a great tutorial before my thoughts were added.

Being not only a guy, but a not very romantic guy I couldn't find anything that really said Valentines Day, so just pretend this is any other normal day.

I guess you don't have to be very smart to notice that I love sunsets and water, especially flowing water.  So here is another from back in October and my trip to New England.  This is in the state of New Hampshire.

Sunset Sunday - 99

Click on photo to view enlarged.


I had to dig into the archives of almost six months back to pick out this beauty.  I hope you don't mind. 

Besides being Sunset Sunday, this date has two other significant events for me.  Chronologically this is the 203d anniversary of the Birth of Abraham Lincoln, one of the best and most famous Presidents of  the United States and it is the 28th anniversary of the passing of my father.

Every Sunday is Sunset Sunday.  It doesn't matter when you took the photo (and sunrises are okay too) so join us every week.  If you have a beautiful sunset/sunrise please share it.

This has been a warm and disappointing winter, so a few weeks ago I was out looking for something to photograph when I found this rushing river.  Because it was winter there really wasn't much color around, but I liked the flowing water, so since the color was absent why not make it monochrome and enjoy the texture.

Out of the Past

This is Union Pacific Engine 119, an exact replica of the Union Pacific Engine that participated in the driving of the Golden Spike at Promontory, Utah in 1869. I took this photo on December 30, 2011.

Yesterday was kind of a milestone day when follower # 400 signed on. Today I'm at 401. Thanks to all of you who enjoy my blog enough to follow it. I am humbled and though I have thought of dropping the blog a couple times, I simply have too many blogger friends to let myself do that. Thanks again!!!!

Sunset Sunday - 97

I find myself quite fascinated with the ice formations on the Great Salt Lake. Because of the high salt content it is hard for it to freeze and yet it does and when it does, it does it with a wide variety of textures and forms.

Stranger - 17

Click on photo to view enlarged.

I don't know if you've been to Purgatory, but I have. As a matter of fact we were stopped there, which in this case is along the coast in Rhode Island, when this gentleman started telling us about the unique rock formations and how and when they were formed. After talking to him for a few minutes we found out that he was from around there and now lives in Florida. I asked him if I could take his photo as part of my 100 strangers project and he graciously obliged.

His name is David Mook, and he is a professor of Geology . . . That explains why he new all about Purgatory. Thanks Dr. Mook for the info and the photo.
