One of my favorite places to visit is the Northwoods of Wisconsin. This is an area in northern Wisconsin containing thousands of lakes surrounded by forests. This setting coupled with extended sunrises, sunsets and calls of the Loons makes this an ideal place to getaway and relax. Here is a dock on Fishtrap Lake newContinue reading “Sunset in the Northwoods”

Spectacular view in Ste. Genevieve County
As we head into Fall, a good way to enjoy the nice weather and take in the scenery is to visit a local winery near you. Many of these places are set on high hills or bluffs which provide spectacular views. This photo was taken for from one of Chaumette Winery’s Chalets overlooking farms surroundingContinue reading “Spectacular view in Ste. Genevieve County”
St. Louis Arch
Photo of the famous St. Louis Arch taken on sunset photo walk. Watch this site for more from our Riverfront.
Old Courthouse
My hometown, St. Louis, with our old courthouse and the Gateway Arch behind it. The pathway here is part of the new Kiener Plaza (not sure what was wrong with the old Kiener Plaza). Lots to do and photograph in this area but be sure to get the Arch in the background! This photo wasContinue reading “Old Courthouse”
Missouri State Capitol
Inauguration day in the Missouri State Capitol. As music plays in the rotunda all of the offices are staffed and full of people from both parties. Truly and exciting time to visit and open to anyone who wants to attend. This is a hand held photo taken at 1/10th of a second, f3.5, 18mm, ISOContinue reading “Missouri State Capitol”
Afternoon Sun
I spend Fall Sunday afternoons with a group called Three Creek Bassets, following the hounds though overgrown creek beds, around fields and along old roads. The setting afternoon sun in the countryside make it an enjoyable activity. This photo was taken with a Coolpix S9700 and processed in Lightroom.
Flags of Valor
7000 “Flags of Valor” cover Art Hill in St. Louis’ Forest Park. These flags commemorate 9/11 in 2016 and honor fallen soldiers fighting terrorism. I spent an hour one evening taking photos of the site from various angles. Here is on facing the St. Louis Art Museum with the sun setting in the background.
The Castle at Ha Ha Tonka
Here is another view of the “Castle” at Ha Ha Tonka State Park. This was actually a large mansion on a bluff overlooking a beautiful valley in the Missouri Ozarks. The man who designed it never lived to see it completed. Due to his sudden death, the property was never properly maintained and the homeContinue reading “The Castle at Ha Ha Tonka”
Forest Park
A photo from Forest Park next to Post-Dispatch Lake (yes, I was at The Boathouse). The light was just right and I was lucky to have my camera with me.
Sunset at Big Cedar
Photos taken during the “golden hour” (about 20 min before/after sunrise/sunset) can provide the perfect lighting for photography. This deck at Big Cedar Lodge, near Branson, MO, reflects sunlight a few minutes after sunset. Photo taken with a Nikon D90 and a Nikon 18 – 105mm lens. Settings: f5, 18mm, 1/30th second, ISO 500.
