A mandala is a circular pattern that in spiritual usage---principally in Hinduism and Buddhism---represents the universe. More secularly (but still with a soupçon of spirituality), the pattern of a mandala…
In the darkness before dawn we drove to the Klamath overlook, and brought out the cameras and tripods as the first light was hitting fog banks over the Klamath sandbar---a…
Along the Oregon coast, hard by Heceta Head Lighthouse, we paused to photograph Cave Creek Bridge, lit by crepuscular rays in the morning mist. Too often in this life we…
We'll always have Paris! You may not need me to remind you of the beauty of Paris, the City of Light. Perhaps this is a treasured memory for you. Along…
I've added some content recently that may interest you. This is in addition to my regular postings on my blog, which I think of as my "Daybook"---in the sense that…
