View Over The Pacific From Maui, Hawaii
Another piece off the backside of Road to Hana in Maui, Hawaii. It was tough to get an angle that didn’t have too much light in it as the sun was right in the lens.
Gas Pump Over Columbia River
A lone gas pump in Biggs, Oregon that is no longer in operation - wished the numbers could have come out a little clearer. I remember this was a stopping point a lot for baseball trips in school, but never really walked around to see what I could find (nor had a camera I guess either though).
The “Shoe Tree” Near Shaniko, Oregon
Although the “shoe tree” may not be its official name, this bizarre looking, shoe-decorated dead tree stands just ten yards from U.S. 97 highway shoulder, exactly at milepost 53 just north of Shaniko, OR. We breezed past it pretty fast, but make a quick stop to turn around.
Funny story - I was with Heather and the little ladies, and these 3 tough guys got out of their car and started walking towards our car as I was out jumping the fence to get a closer look at the tree. I kinda started heading back towards our car to see what was up and apparently all the wanted was a snap. Paranoia I guess…
Desolation - Lake Manyara, Africa
Amazing how far back the landscape goes with NOTHING growing on it. It gets pretty dry in Tanzania, Africa…
Frosted Barbed Wire
Again back from the 2005 archives - I snapped this one on the way back from Montana for Christmas. I just got my Canon 20d and I remember stopping at a handful of pieces along the way. This one is a closeup of the frost that formed on the barbed wire fence right before 10,000 Silver Dollar Casino.
Mount Haleakala Maui, Hawaii
A snap at the top of Haleakala in Maui before we started the bike ride down through - if I recall, we didn’t have to pedal all that much to go down 10 miles.
Galerie Voltaire in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
A closeup of the old Galerie Voltaire from Toronto in HDR.
Old Hawaiian Barn in Black and White
February 2004 - A barn on the backside of Maui on the way to the Road to Hana - didn’t seem like anyone ever used it, but I’d have to say that the grass was actually pretty green and cut if I recall though. I can see the “green” part living in a tropical locale, but the “cut” part was interesting. I remember I tried to take a few photos from a shack that was near it - brush had taken over the building, but none of those photos turned out too well and therefore didn’t make the cut here.
