October 14, 2024 in Landscapes + Wildlife

as previously documented on this site, i’ve tried and failed to photograph the northern lights over the years. i had some quality time up north at one of my favorite state parks and got this shot from just over my truck.

idle hands are known to be the devil's workshop.

i was on a quick work trip in “amsterdam” which was actually in a suburb maybe 30 minutes away from the city center. it was my first time on the shores of the north sea.

stay ahead of the weather

January 07, 2023

i’m not the type to title a picture but this one was kinda easy. this was shortly before the over night drive between teddy roosevelt national park and glacier. we didn’t stay ahead of the weather but we did thread the needle between two different storms.
