The Beauty of a Starry Night

Black And White Photography, David Jensen, Photography

Every time I get the chance to enjoy the dark skies of northern Minnesota, I think of those who have never been away from a light island and experienced the incredible sight of a sky full of stars. This image was captured on a night when I was hoping to see the aurora above Lake Superior. The aurora did not make an appearance but, the stars more than made up for its absence.

More of my photography can be found on my website and my blog.

Sometimes Ya Just Gotta Pee – In remembrance of Don Simmons

Black And White Photography, Don, Photography

It was a great day at the beach;
We built castles and played on the surf.
It’s time to leave, and I have to pee.

Mom’s all packed and ready to go;
Little brother is in the stroller.
But sometimes you just gotta pee.

Everybody is unhappy;
Mom is mad and brother is crying.
And I’m lookin’ for a place to pee.

The bathhouse is too far away;
I have to do this while folks walk by.
But sometimes you just gotta pee !

— Don Simmons

Front right entrance view from the Cathedral of Saint Mary Major in Marseille, France. It’s the only cathedral built in the 19th century and the last built in France.  Its foundations are superimposed on an old church of the 4th century.

Happy Easter!
