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.

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

Backyard Summertime Nature in New Jersey.

Fawn with spots resting while munching grass. That year the grass was still green at this time of the summer. Image take with a Nikon D3x camera and 600 mm f/4 VR lens (ISO 160, 600 mm, f/4, 1/100 sec).
