The Cape Hatteras light house, though not quite in its original location, is a pretty iconic site (and sight) in the Outer Banks. Too bad you can’t climb it in the early spring!

Dunes
Even in early march the sandy beaches of the outer banks are really spectacular.
South side of campus to the Campanile
And here’s looking back up (on a different day and from a different direction). The Campanile also figured heavily into my morning (and afternoon) routines, being the signal that I was finally at work and also that I was ready to head home. It’s maybe the most recognizable thing about Berkeley.
Sand For Miles
There are few places like an ocean beach, especially those on the California coast.
Rocky Outcrop
The view from the balds of the Roan Highlands is out of control.
Snake River
This shot of the Snake river in Idaho comes from roughly the same location as the previous shot of Shoshone Falls.
The Olympics (the mountains)
Snow peaked, and with a nice alpenglow, the Olympic mountains in the morning are one of the more spectacular sights to be seen from Seattle (behind, of course, the massive Mt. Rainier which looms over the city). On this unusually calm, clear (not to mention cold) morning I was able to grab this shot of Puget Sound in front of the Olympics, along with two Ferries making the Fauntleroy-Vashon run.
Merry Christmas! Obergurgl
Another shot of Obergurgl, this time in the morning from the University Center where the conference was that I was attending. Obergurgl was just spectacular, though a little resort-y and this shot gives you an idea of what the bulk of the village looks like.
I hope everyone is having a happy holidays!
Totem Pole
I captured this shot on this past summer’s trip to Vancouver, BC and the University of British Columbia. These totem poles really are a beautiful part of the indigenous culture of the PNW and its nice that UBC represents this culture on their campus.
Afternoon at the Beach
I know I’ve said it before but probably my favorite thing about California is the coast, and probably the folks out on the beach on this particular day would agree with me. I don’t know that I’d have the fortitude to surf the chilly waters of the northern California coast but the surf does look sort of inviting in the late afternoon.
Sailboats on the Bay
Days like these remind me of home, and that anywhere there’s water and a breeze you’ll attract a virtual navy of small sail craft on any remotely nice day.
