 I'm in the middle flanked by my two brothers.
(Canyonlands National Park).  Notice we are inside the canyon (canoeing on that river).




Believe it or not, that's in New Jersey


One night in New York City

A drop of water that dropped from an icicles splashes onto a 'stalagmite style' ice formation.
I was very lucky and got this shot on my first try. More from Winter 2005.
 

Okay I didn't take this one of me at Chiricahua National Monument, as nice as any national park.  Click the picture to see a panorama (in new window) digital cameras are great.

 

Sabino Canyon State Park, Arizona, those cactuses are much bigger than they seem, huge!



Another long exposure shot.  Can you tell which way its going?
Would you ever guess it's a pickup?  I wouldn't have.  Hover mouse over image for answer.
 

This wasn't my idea, but I wish it was. Click for video.
DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for broken treadmills if you were to actually do this (making sure to spin the tire in the direction of the treadmill before dropping it)

Thanks Guy Chan for rotating this video for me.

I took this picture in a Colorado ghost town.  It had been a booming city until the mines dried up.

It was interesting to see that the basic structure of the houses were the same as they are now.  You had the outside wall (today they use plywood) then evenly spaced studs (2 by 4 wooden beams), then the inside wall (today they use sheetrock).  I felt like I was in a New Jersey construction zone!  The beautiful scenery gave it away (as did the wooden toilet seat).

 

 





A huge snail, about 4 in (10 cm) long!
I must've sat there watching it move for an hour.  It seriously had 4 eyes with pupils on long stalks which telescoped out of nowhere when it stuck its head out.  It seemed to move by waving its skin (see photo).  Those ripples would travel backwards relative to the snail as it walked.
 

This isn't a picture, but I wanted to put it on the site somewhere. . . .

A simple experiment everyone should do:
Put a magnet near a small AC light bulb.  You can see the filament vibrating.  The current turns it into an electromagnet; since its AC, the polarity switches really quickly so the filament vibrates.


You probably want to go back by now.
