Two-Years Ago (12-September-2013) — New Jersey

Backyard Summertime Nature in New Jersey.

A groundhog approaching my patio. I am less patient with these critters. A number of years ago, one built its nest in a tunnel right next the basement’s foundation. They also have devastated my kitchen garden.

Three-Years Ago (12-September-2012) — Belgium

Gone to see Europe. Semester at Sea. Fall 2012 Semester Voyage on the MV Explorer. Day 20: Antwerp, Belgium.

Voetgangerstunnel is a pedestrian (and bicycle) tunnel  under the Scheldt River.  After walking through the tunnel, I was able to get a picture of the MV Explorer with the Antwerp Cathedral in the background.

Six-Years Ago (12-September-2009) — Canada

Gone to See North America Road Trip. Day 22: Anchorage to Burwash Landing on the Alaska-Canada Highway. Yukon, Canada.

Rather taking the Alaska Marine Highway ferry back, I decided to drive the Alaska-Canada highway. The summer travel season was over so there was very little traffic on the highway. I spent the night at a RV spot in Burwash Landing along Lake Kluane. Some surrealistic photo art with a derelict boat along the shore.
