Three-Years Ago (11-September-2012) — Belgium

Gone to see Europe. Semester at Sea. Fall 2012 Semester Voyage on the MV Explorer. Day 19: Antwerp and Brussels, Belgium.

Sunrise and Sunset in Antwerp and some random images in Brussels. At one point I was chased away from a chocolate shop for trying to take a picture of their window display. Belgium Waffles and the famous Manneken Pis bronze statue.

Four-Years Ago (11-September-2011) — New Jersey

Six-Years Ago (11-September-2009) — Alaska

Gone to See North America Road Trip. Day 21: Alaska Railroad – Anchorage to Spencer Glacier. (Day 7: Nikonians ANPAT 9).

The  group took Alaska Railroad train for a day trip to the Spencer Glacier in the Chugach National Forest.  The glacier is only accessible as a “whistle stop” on the train line.  A (sort of) time-lapse video of  images from the day including Albert’s size 13 boot.  A bit confusing and jerky because I was using two different cameras and lenses.
