Maine (October 2012)
|
|
|
|
Stu and I traveled to New England in early/mid-October, 2012. We visited two main locations: the Museum of Science in Boston MA, and Acadia National Park in Maine. Of the more than 1,060 photos I took, 56 appear here as representative samples. These photos were all taken with my Canon PowerShot SX230 HS camera. As with most of the albums here, the photos have been reduced in size: these are 1,024 pixels long by 768 wide (regardless of orientation). Latitude and longitude values are provided, generally with an accuracy within about 10-20 meters, except indoor shots. You can copy the values and paste them into Google Maps/Earth (or any GIS software, perhaps with minor modifications) to see the locations. The locations were mostly provided by the camera, but my Garmin eTrex HCx filled in where the camera's GPS wasn't able to get a good enough signal. Indoor locations were estimated as noted.

Spain (July-August 2008)
|
|
|
|
Stu and I left for Spain on July 22, 2008, and returned to Oklahoma on August 3. Of the approximately 1,300 photos I took, about three dozen were good/interesting enough to display here. These photos (and one video) were all taken with my new Canon SD890 IS camera. As with most of the albums here, the photos have been re-sized or cropped to 800 x 600 pixels. Latitude and longitude values are provided, generally with an accuracy within about 10-20 meters (about 200-500 meters for shots from a moving vehicle). You can copy the values and paste them into Google Maps/Earth (or any GIS software, perhaps with minor modifications) to see the locations. Unless otherwise noted, the tracking information was derived from my Garmin eTrex Vista Cx track log.

Smart car218 views2005-05-29
Montréal, Québec, Canada
This is Stu, standing next to a "Smart Car" we found parked near the Asian district of Montréal. Compared to other vehicles (in 2005, at least!), this is a very small car.

Fire Lookout Station on Beech Mountain212 views2012-10-11
Near Southwest Harbor (Mount Desert Island), Maine, USA
44.2858,-68.3117
This is a highly zoomed photo of the fire lookout station at the summit of Beech Mountain. Two days later, we hiked to the top of Beech Mountain and climbed halfway up the stairs on this station (that was all that was open to the public). This photo was taken from the Sea Princess. See the photo of both the lookout station and the boat in this album.

N37.6772 W1.7087 (est. from Google Earth)
We went to Lorca for the Lorca Rock Festival, which took place the evenings of the 25th and 26th. During the day on the 26th, we toured the castle. And no, the guy on the left side of the photo is not real. Looking E.

Great Sand Dunes182 views2004-09-11
Great Sand Dunes Natl Monument, near Alamosa, Colorado, USA
They're not just good sand dunes. :-) The small specks you see are people on the massive sand dunes.

Snow-capped mountains167 views2004-09-06
Molas Pass, southwest of Silverton, Colorado, USA
This scene is fairly typical of the high passes in southwest Colorado in September. Molas Pass is between Coal Bank Pass and the town of Silverton.

Hoary marmot208 views2004-09-07
Engineer Pass Road, near Ouray, Colorado, USA
As we descended from our failed attempt to scale Engineer Pass, we encountered this hoary marmot along the road.

Snow192 views2004-09-07
Cinnamon Pass Road, near Lake City, Colorado, USA
This is the snowy scene just short of Cinnamon Pass (eastbound). Unlike Engineer Pass, which was too scary to cross (due to snow), the road across Cinnamon Pass was in good shape.

Pine Cones615 views2012-10-13
Acadia National Park, Maine, USA
44.3114,-68.3454
These pine cones were unusually photogenic, against the bright blue sky. This photo was taken very near the summit of Beech Mountain (just north of the summit), and, I believe, within sight of the fire lookout station.Oct 31, 2012

Spring Trail Meets Carriage Road543 views2012-10-12
Acadia National Park, Maine, USA
44.3212,-68.2605
Stu and I took the Spring Trail up as far as the steps (shown here) go, decided it wasn't for us (at least given the amount of time we had left to hike), and ended up going the other way on the Spring Trail (toward the Jordan Pond House). This photo was taken near the southeastern-most extent of Mount Penobscot.Oct 31, 2012
