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.

Interesting sign182 views2001-06-26
Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico, USA
This sign in the Visitor Center says a lot without a single printed word! We returned to the cave on the 26th to tour the "Left-Hand Tunnel." I didn't get any good pictures from that.

Unusual Fungus213 views2012-10-10
Acadia National Park, Maine, USA
44.3020,-68.3447
This fungus was unusual in the sense that I've not seen it elsewhere (except for a few other specimens in Acadia N. P.), and that it looks a lot different than most of the other fungus we found. This one was near the south edge of Beech Mountain. The thick clouds and tree canopy left very little light for this photo, and the 1/5 s shot was taken hand-held.

Maid of the Mists338 views2005-05-21
Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada
This 33-second QuickTime video shows the "Maid of the Mists" tour boat in motion. Sort of. Toward the end of the video, you can compare its (slow) forward motion against the rail near the bottom of the video. Cautions: Noisy audio. Requires QuickTime. 10.4 MB download.

Pine Cones614 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 Road541 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
