Reflection

I was going to post something of a rant today which had been brewing most of yesterday afternoon.  A nights sleep and I’ve thought the better of it.  Wasn’t anything of much importance anyhow, mostly just frustration at the giant wall I’m staring at.  Instead, a reflection.  One of my favorite photos for some reason, […]

Hadselfjorden – Norway

Photo: Autumn storms over mountains of Vesterålen while traveling on Hurtigruten ferry through Hadselfjorden, Norway. Sept 2009 I think Hadselfjorden is not really a fjord but a straight, separating some of the Vesterålen islands and a bit of Lofoten as well.  But in Norwegian, if its made of salt water, and you can see land […]

Moonrise over Vestfjord

Photo: Full moon rises over Vestfjord on a calm autumn evening, Stamsund, Lofoten islands, Norway.  Oct 2009 The last month has been pretty slow for me so I’ve been processing some older stuff to send into my agencies.  Mostly its crap that I passed over for a reason, but I’ve found a few decent images […]

Sgurr Mhairi – Isle of Skye

Photo: Winter view towards Glamaig – Sgurr Mhairi and Red Cuillin hills, Sligachan, Isle of Skye, Scotland. Jan 2011 Some years back I was making my way down Glamaig, back towards Sligachan to hitch a ride back to Portree.  I’m not sure if I was on a people trail or a sheep trail, the latter […]

2011 Tübingen Stocherkahnrennen

What do you get when you cross a historic German city, a river, punt boats, some creative costumes, a bit of friendly competition, and lots of (somewhat drunk) Germans?  The Tübinger Stocherkahnrennen – The Tuebingen punt boat race.  The race draws thousands of spectators who fill the city to the brim.  Lining walls, bridges and […]

Panoramic Landscape Photography

Winter view across Kjerkfjorden towards Vindstad, Lofoten islands, Norway.  Jan 2010.  This was perhaps one of the most perfect days I’ve experienced in my life.  The day to which I have since judged every other; none having come close in the last 18 months since I took this photo.  But as with all good things, […]

Failure

Well, it’s Tuesday and I’m back in Santa Barbara instead of up in the mountains.  Had a bit of a technical problem, compounded by a stupid oversight on my part, which forced me to call off the mountain. The problem, my stove didn’t work.  No stove in winter camping means no water to drink.  A […]

Agassiz

If all has gone well, I should be somewhere near the summit of Mt. Agassiz about now.  If the conditions are good, I might try and bivy on top to catch sunrise over the Palisades.  Might head up Goode tomorrow.  Possibly a few more things during the week.  Half tempted to head up to Mt. […]

Mount Whitney

Photo: Mt. Whitney sunrise. Feb 2010 I’m heading up for a week or so in the eastern Sierra today.  Maybe try and bag a few peeks depending on weather, or just be lazy and enjoy some bouldering in Bishop.   I guess it depends on the weather…
