Hillside Vineyard
While walking along Panoramaweg, a scenic trail above Baden-Baden, Germany, I saw the perfect symmetry and texture of this vineyard that climbed up and over a hill.
Disappearing Home
An old friend of the family retired a few years ago. Like me, his career ended earlier than he had planned. Without a reason to stay in the area, he loaded up all his belongings in a trailer and in the back of his truck. He relocated and started a new life.
Cornfields and wind farms
Crossing Indiana twice in our travels, I was introduced to a scene I'd not seen before in America: miles and miles of wind turbines turning slowly above the cornfields of the heartland, churning out energy.
Cherry on Top
Art and nature come together in downtown Minneapolis with the whimsical Spoonbridge and Cherry forming the core of a creative collection in the free Minneapolis Sculpture Garden at the Walker Art Center.
Rio Grande Gorge
In the distance, it isn't obvious. A simple gash across the landscape, a ribbon of earth in a wave of green and gold vegetation. The Rio Grande Gorge, New Mexico.
Hocking Hills: Full of Hikers
Full of geologic wonders that you wouldn't expect to find in Ohio, Hocking Hills State Park is a big draw for hikers, worth the trip to get there.
Bearfence Mountain
Bearfence Mountain was the first challenge I met while hiking the Appalachian Trail. I hung this photo up at work to keep my dream of thru-hiking the AT alive.
Where gnomes roam
When you’re out for a hike and you see a mushroom like this, you immediately think of gnomes. Especially when you're hiking through Germany's Black Forest.
Kalo Paxi!
Celebrating Easter in Corfu with my sisters, I participated in ancient rituals and witnessed the amazing spectacle of the passing of the flame across the city.
Curious about George in Santorini
Yes, I've hiked across a volcano, and a historic one at that: the cinder cone in the middle of the caldera on the island of Santorini, Greece.
