360 Degrees of Cold - Chicago in Winter
360 Degrees panorama shot from about 400 feet over Lake Michigan in late December with a DJI Phantom 4 Pro drone. Now I know why Chicago locals call it Chiberia.

Ellis Island at Sunset
We were treated to a fantastic sunset the other night over New York Bay. Ellis Island was the gateway for over 12 million immigrants to the U.S. as the United States' busiest immigrant inspection station for over 60 years from 1892 until 1954.

Bow Bridge, Central Park, NYC
It was a blah grey day in NYC yesterday when I shot this so I felt a little black and white editing was in order to get this image presentable.

Good morning from the shores of Gitche Gumee. This was shot on the North Shore of Lake Superior, just north of Two Harbors, MN.
Borders Crossings
Milky Way Over Lake Superior. Shot at Grand Portage, MN, the light cluster on the left is the US/Canada border crossing, pretty much the only light source nearby.

Behind Fisher Towers
Fisher Towers are a series of towers made of Cutler sandstone capped with Moenkopi sandstone and caked with a stucco of red mud located near Moab, Utah. The Towers are named for a miner who lived near them in the 1880s. The closest one in this photo is more than 1,000 feet high.

Milky Way Arches Over Arches National Park
It was my last night in Arches and the sky was just wonderful for a panorama over the geological formations. For those of you who know the area, this was shot from the Windows Trailhead parking lot. You can spot North Window in the center of the frame. South Window is blocked. Turret Arch is near the galactic core is but you're looking at it from the side here, so you cannot see through it from this angle.

Apparition
On my tour of Antelope Canyon this week I captured this apparition, clearly a human figure, bent slightly, facing left, doing something. It was gone moments later.
Antelope is a slot canyon on Navajo land east of Page, Arizona. Midday in the summer seasons, when the sun is high overhead, and there are no clouds, shafts of direct sunlight radiate down from openings at the top of the ca...

Looking Up
#UpperAntelopeCanyon, a slot canyon on #Navajo land east of Page, #Arizona. This is a shot looking straight up. If you’re new to following me, now is as good a time as any to tell you that I've sold my home, put my belongings in storage and I'm using this year to travel and take photos.

Hanging Over The Edge?
Sunset at Horseshoe Bend in Arizona where you can actually walk right up to the edge of this 1,000 ft high cliff. That’s the Colorado River down there. The dot to the left of my left shoe is kayak. There were easily several hundred people on this ledge with me watching sunset. Many of them were photographers so I had to do something unique with my sunset shot. It felt great to sit down and stretch out my legs. Road trip day 12. I’m on a 40+ day, 5,000+ mile #roadtrip of the western United States. ?#horseshoebend

Milky Way Arches Over Monument Valley, Arizona
Early on in my Western U.S. Road Trip I stopped by Monument Valley just to take this photo. Monument Valley is quite the sight to see during the day as well and I enjoyed it then too but at night under the stars was what I was after.
In other news... Yesterday I booked my next trip, this one will take me out of the United States for the first time since last summer. I head to Iceland for 10 days in mid July. I've never been but I hear it's a photographers dream. However I'm sure it will take some getting used to sunsets at 11:30pm and sunrises at 2am. I've got my list of stops but if you've been, please share your best recommendations.ArizonaMonument ValleyNavajoaustinchrischristophercvshermancvsherman.commilky waymilky way archmilkywayover austinoveratxoveraustinoveraustin.comshermantexasthe view hotel

Moonlit Canyon and Milky Way Core
You’ve not seen anything until you’ve seen the Grand Canyon lit by moonlight. The clouds would not behave, but in the end I had an hour where they cleared up and the first quarter moon shown down into the canyon while the Milky Way rose. And then, all too soon, the clouds once again hid the moon and the canyon was again plunged into darkness. The silly part was, I had the entire canyon all to myself. I did not see a single sole out that night. Road trip day 15.

Las Vegas Strip Panorama
Seen From a Distance but at 13900x3274 resolution. This is a stitched multi-image panorama. I've spent the past 19 days in various small towns and in state and national parks in Utah and Arizona. Vegas is the closest big city on my way west. After a quick stop here to resupply it's time to head into California today.
