photos and thoughts for sharing
Using what was available, pioneers and ranchers built many log structures across The West. Left behind, they can be seen here and there, throughout the rural landscape. Here are some recent finds along with a few that were just waiting for the right post to come along. Finding and photographing old places and things has Continue reading Log Barns Cabins
The Gold Mountain Fire started close to home on June 27th. Aided by dry conditions and strong winds the fire is growing quickly, and as I write this we are at 15,000+ acres and 0% containment. Not officially confirmed, some blame strong winds and a tree falling on a power line. Sadly, fires are becoming Continue reading The Gold Mountain Fire
For this small collection I m including new landscapes with a sense of wide, open space. That s the thing about The West it s wide open.

How reduced snowpack will affect us is to be seen. On a positive note we ve had some spectacular sunrises, sunsets and light. From Continue reading Winter Light Landscapes
Here s a collection of moon images I ve been saving up. Over the years I ve figured out that optimal times (for me) to shoot the moon only happen a couple of times a month. The night before the full moon has a better chance of working out, when there is still color in the sky and Continue reading Moonrise Moments
If you ve followed my photography for any length of time, there s nothing new to see here. I m kidding of course well, only sort of! The thing is, I always have and always will, love capturing colorful sunrise and sunset skies. After many years, I still find them an exciting sight. The colors, gradations and Continue reading Nothing New Here!
