New Zealand Alps

About a year ago I was in a helicopter over the alps of southern New Zealand. It's been awhile since I posted a photo from there and so it's time to reminisce the adventure. The alps are nothing short of amazing as you can see. And somewhere up there are surely a few wizards or elfs; such as it is in middle earth.

Just Before Sunset

Usually, due to procrastination, I arrive at the beach only a few minutes before sunset. This time is was thirty minutes. For me that's good. Anyway, a couple of years ago I shot this same scene. My style changes over time and so revisiting the same location provides an opportunity to see it with new eyes. I'll probably come here again in another year or two and do the same thing all over again. And who knows what it'll look like then.

Up For Air

A few days ago we went to Crystal River to meet friends and swim with the Manatees. There are warm springs in the area so during winter months the Manatees congregate while they wait for the ocean to warm up. Well, it's Spring and most of them are gone, back to the gulf to get some real food. However, there are still a few that linger along the river so it's still possible to see and swim nearby. Regardless, for me just spending a day on a boat is going to turn out good.

Clam Digger

A gentleman digs for clams along the causeway the other day. I was on my way to a restaurant near the beach with my wife and a friend when I quickly pulled over to get this shot. The people in my car must think I'm crazy. I think I am a little crazy when it comes to pictures. At least I wasn't on a mountain road, now that would be CRAZY.

Sarasota Bay Fishing Pier

Last night I headed down to the fishing pier in Sarasota to catch the colors and take a few photos. As usual there were a lot of people fishing and as usual there was a lot of nice things to see. I shared a photo with some friends from my iPhone however one was in Japan, and so the same sun that was setting for me it was just rising for him. Small world, isn't it.

Under the Bridge

There are usually one or two people fishing from this spot. The walkway under the bridge is just long enough to give the sense of a tunnel and in the summer it's a nice spot to pause in the shade. Just a few feet beyond is a new ice cream shop that serves doggy ice cream (not really sure what that is) so I will just have to stop with my buds and check it out.

Night Scene from the Pier

A scene of the sidewalk from the pier. Normally I shoot in the other direction, but turning around can be cool also. I sit here several times a week, it's the midway point of my walk. It's a quiet spot on the water and a place to chill for a few minutes before I head back.

Angels in the Morning at Sunrise

I don't know where I heard it, but when you see these wispy clouds there are angels in the sky. Such was the case this morning and lucky for me I had my camera handy. It seemed that all the angels and all the boats pointed in the direction of the sun on this morning not too long ago.
