No one gets to Big Bend National Park by accident; it takes planning and driving (the nearest commercial airport [Midland-Odessa] is 220 miles north by mostly two-lane highways). In these photographs, Mexico is always just across the river, usually on the left side of the photograph. But even in desolate, isolated West Texas, there is much to discover and enjoy: long views, dark skies, and surprising Marfa.
Iceland - September 2017
Iceland in fall color, rain, wind, and occasionally a bit of sunlight.
Cloudy Day - June 2017
Driving west again, this time to enjoy the two-lane rural roads of South Dakota and the panhandle of western Nebraska, cloudy weather can improve the view.
Lincoln - April 2017
While driving from Tucson to northern Wisconsin, my birth-city - Lincoln, Nebraska - is a natural stopping point. One of the places that is most unique is the Nebraska State Capital building. It is a beautiful, down-to-earth kind of place for the country's only non-partisan, single-house legislature - the Unicameral - as well as a stylistic tower of administrative offices, guaranteed to constrain the growth of government in the state - at least in the state capital building.
