Whether it’s a hot desert afternoon or a cool desert night, the best seat by the pool appears to be the seat in the pool.

Night on Zenda Drive
Thanksgiving in Palm Springs has 100% more hot tub than might otherwise be expected. Can you spot Hazel the dog, on guard for coyotes?
San Diego to Palm Springs
The route over the mountains between San Diego and Palm Springs, CA 74, leads down this incredible twisting spiral of two-lane blacktop. Far in the distance, the twinkling lights of the desert valley await night travelers.
Bridge Construction in the Fog
A moment in time, glowing through the fog: lights from the old (now dismantled) and new (still under construction, at the time) eastern spans of the San Francisco—Oakland Bay Bridge.
Path to NautiCat
The lines and lights of the dock, boat, and horizon collide in this image of a catamaran in Traverse City.
Lodge Night Interior
Photoshop’s Super-Resolution algorithm strikes again! This 2012 shot from Timberline Lodge was taken using my beginner-level D3100, but now has all kinds of delicious pixel-peeping detail.
Bicycles and Fireworks
To borrow an Internet cliché, “Name a more iconic summer combination.”
Watching Fireworks from the Beach
A summer sensory triptych: Warm sand, warm breeze, and warm colors from the July 4th fireworks.
Winter Streets I & II
Winter in the North Country grips the homes and streets of Canton, New York.
Flags in the Chapel
St. Lawrence’s chapel is filled with the flags of many nations, but they look even better when paired with a crowd of people—hopefully someday again.
Consequences of Cold Wars
We visited Prague more than a year ago, arriving (without perhaps fully considering it) on the thirtieth anniversary of the Velvet Revolution. Strolling between the shops of Wenceslas Square, my brain worked overtime to connect the place with the images of protests in 1989 and the great changes that had come about in the time since.
Night Fog on the Football Field
St. Lawrence’s athletic fields take on a particularly Scooby Doo glow when fog rolls in.
Night Square I & II
The gradual shift from sodium vapor lamps to white LEDs as the primary light source for public places means that this transitional period produced odd night images with dominant oranges and blues produced from trying to balance the color temperatures.
That color contrast makes every scene look a bit like a movie poster.
Národní Divadlo
The classical architecture of Prague’s National Theater is set apart, in this image, from the smooth lines of modernity around it.
Kafka Statue
There is more than one statue of Franz Kafka in Prague, but this mirrored head with rotating segments (see the motion blur at the jawline) was the most dramatic I visited. At the time, the head was, naturally, the most surreal aspect of the location. In the present, the crowds of people on the night street (also visible in the reflective base) are perhaps more shocking.
