One of the most interesting places I’ve ever visited, Joshua Tree is about as different from the green, tree covered Connecticut where I have lived for more than twenty years as Mars is from Earth. Everywhere I pointed the camera there were more images to be had than time to make them. I could easily spend a week there.

20190601-untitled shoot-32-Edit-Edit…last week you asked me to keep my junkyard shots coming. However I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to share with you my other passion. Cycling.
Last Saturday the annual Tour of Norway passed even closer to my doorstep than it did last year. Here they are speeding over our local bridge ( 5mins walk from my house).What makes the shot for me is the two spectators on the railings on the opposite side of the road. The sky was dark and foreboding too as it had threatened a downpour all afternoon. Still I got home before the heavens opened.

…and Joe I promise to look out some more junkyard shots for you very soon.

… I was in the German state of Rheinland-Pfalz with some friends for an extended weekend. While nearby, we made a trip to the castle Burg Eltz. This construction of this iconic castle was started back in the 12th century. Since then, it was never conquered or destroyed.

As expected, you can find the castle on top of a hill. But, this hill is surrounded by many other hills which are even higher. So, you can’t see it from a distance and you can’t oversee the surrounding area. This is very different from other castles.

 

More of my images can be seen at my own blog.
