Sea Caves in Burlington, VT???
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Vermont two states or a country away from the ocean? You've either got to drive up through Canada or speed threw New Hampshire and Maine to see the Atlantic. Don't even ask about the Pacific. So, how did sea caves end up right next to downtown Burlington. And how the hell did I not know they were there for my first 4 years of living right next door to them!...
Found an ice cave in my backyard
Sometimes adventures are right out the back door. Blizzard 2015 was fairly weak for us in Vermont (only 6+ inches of snow), but it inspired me to run around the yard with camera in hand. Admittedly, this is not a human-sized ice cave. If one was a rabbit, one would find this ice stalagmite impressive. With the help of some macro photography we can admire it too. Outside of shooting ice...
Costa Rican Landscapes – December 2009
Since my first trip to Costa Rica, in 1995, I have always been struck by the magic of the country as soon as my feet come off the airplane. Although it is a very different place than it was in the 90s, it is still one of my favorite spots on earth. Today, most of the roads are paved and you no longer need to judge distance driven in flat tires. Unfortunately, fast food restaurants let you...
Virginia Beach
I was born and bred in Virginia Beach, VA and couldn't have this blog going without saying something about my hometown. As it relates to travel, Virginia Beach is an excellent place for getting away on weekends. The Shenandoah Mountains are only a 4 hour drive West along the Blue Ridge Parkway, Washington DC is less than 4 hours away, the Outerbanks of North Carolina are less than 2 hours...
Smokey Mountains
There is a road between Tennessee and North Carolina called the Dragon which is basically an amusement park for sports cars and motorcycles. I try to go at least once a year and sometimes I make it twice. Imagine 318 curves in 11 miles with no driveways or intersections or stop signs. It is just fun, twisty, driving! The people pushing things on the Dragon are all vehicle enthusiasts and...
Great Falls, VA
When one thinks of Washington DC, the thoughts typically float around government. When one thinks of nature in DC, Great Falls is one of those places those places that doesn't usually come to mind. Hopefully, you'll think of visiting it next time you're there.
Nashville, TN | March 2007
I went to a conference in Nashville (AAISP Conference for Automotive Internet Sales Professionals - now called the Digital Dealer Conference). One evening I got out early to walk around Nashville with some friends who live there. These are just some random shots from around the town. All of these images were shot hand-held....even the HDR!
West Virginia – New River Gorge Photo Meet | October 2007
On this trip I ended up having more fun taking everyone around to the various spots we had scoped out in September. I didn't take as many pictures because I felt like I had already gotten some good ones from the last trip. Due to the drought, we were expecting more colors in the foliage, but it looks like November is truly the time to visit Southern West Virginia for fall colors. Okay...Steve...
West Virginia – New River Gorge | Sep 2007
To see the full gallery CLICK HERE. I took a road trip with a buddy to scope out some places for a fall photography meet. Out of all the places on the East Coast we could have gone, West Virginia sounded like the most scenic and least expensive to visit. The foliage was just starting to turn in September due to a drought. Usually there is more water flowing around the mill pictured above. ...
