“Photograph: a picture painted by the sun without instruction in art.” — Ambrose Bierce

Thank you for all the new views and likes from last week, it helps keep me inspired.

Here are some random photos from my first photo book. My second photo book is in process. I am looking for someone to print and sell my books are a reasonable price point.

Sunday, 09/25/2022: Posted photo — Dunefield.

A dune field located in Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado. Being on the dunes was like being in the middle of a desert. What impressed me is how far away from the park you can see the dunes.

Monday, 09/26/2022: Posted photo — Frozen Watch Tower.

This is a photo of the old watch tower on Wachusett Mountain. You can clearly see the wind blow ice on the tower.

Tuesday, 09/27/2022: Posted photo — The Golden Rule.

My niece got married this past weekend. She married one of my son’s friends, a great guy. He asked my son if he could date his cousin. I found a verse in the Bible, took off my wedding ring to take this photo. This is a photo that I have wanted to take for a while.

Wednesday, 09/28/2022: Posted photo — Balance Rock.

Balance Rock in Arches National Park. This is not the traditional view of Balance Rock, but I like it.

Thursday, 09/29/2022: Posted photo — Footbridge of the Virgin River.

I saw this bridge at Zion National Park and took this photo. I liked the way the bridge was situated with the view of the cliffs and the water.

Friday, 09/30/2022: Post photo — Star Trail.

Every once and awhile I have an urge to take a star trail photo. I set up my camera, point north to the stars, set my timer on 20 seconds and unlimited shots, go to bed and let either drain my camera battery of fill my SD card. I have a stacking program that I use to create my star trail.

Saturday, 10/01/2022: Post photo — Reflection Lakes.

One of my favorite photos and the cover photo of my first photo book. Just loved the stillness of the water and the reflection of Mount Rainier.

That is all for now. Until next week, be safe.
