I am a scientist by training (Eckerd College, BSc; Caltech, Ph.D.). I worked for 27 years as a Chemist in the Pharmaceutical Industry developing processes to manufacture medicines for human and animal health. I now spend my time as a photographer and world traveler. My interests include the natural world, wildlife, landscapes, sky, and seascapes, travel, and astrophotography. I look for unique ways of viewing the world and presenting my images. I have traveled to over 55 countries in six continents, often on Semester at Sea voyages. While at home in New Jersey, I spend time on home renovation and expansion of a wildflower garden/meadow.

Cool shot, +David Mathre . Did he really drive up, around the light and back down ?
+Heiko Köster Yes, he really did ride his bike up, around the light and back down. I was taking pictures of this unique lighthouse last Thursday thinking about my contribution for this week — and was very surprised when it happened. He did get a bit stuck when turning to go down but ultimately made it.
