Lindental

This is a beautiful area just outside of Lindental, Switzerland. Not only is the area gorgeous, but it is also an amazing place for bouldering.

These are some of the local flora that grows around Tombstone Mountain.

Tombstone Mountain

This a view of the Tombstone valley can be found on the Dempster Highway in the Yukon. It is said that one must never venture behind Tombstone mountain, for the soil is radioactive beyond fatal levels.

This rare and beautiful area of Canada's Arctic is under proposal for mining development, but with your help through the writing of a letter to the Yukon Government we can raise enough attention to stop this proposal before it is too late.

Please rally your support for this cherished environment. Use the link below to write a short letter that will be sent via CPAWS (Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society) in protest of the mining that would forever destroy this area.

Canadian National Railway

This old CNR train is on display at the Alberta Railway Museum, in Alberta, Canada. Engine 9000 is their prime specimen. It is a lovely balance between power and design.

Paris

It was a cold January day that held back the smog and opened this view to my eyes. This shot is taken from the top of the Arc de Triomphe.

Aphrodisias' Bathhouse

The old back and white tiles still adorn the floor of the this once beautiful bath house in the city of Aphrodisias, Turkey.

Aphrodisias' Roman Stadium

In the Ancient Roman city of Aphrodisias is a beautifully preserved Roman Stadium. The capacity of this stadium is said to be 130,000 people. It is a beautiful sight to behold, for as you walk, sit, and stand among the still well-formed rows of seating you get a strong sense of what it must have been like to be entertained in such a setting.

Angkor Wat, Cambodia

This is the rear entrance to the famed Angkor Wat temple in Cambodia. It is a magnificent creation. As one approaches, the shear size of the temple confounds the senses. It is fascinating what religion can bring people to raise.

Banteay Srei, Cambodia

This is a section of wall inside the Banteay Srei (Temple of Women) in Cambodia. This site is much older than Angkor Wat or Ta Phrom and is one of the first Angkorian Temples. The quality of the work is astounding given that it is carved of sandstone and is over a thousand years old. I marveled at it for a good long while before taking this shot.

Cambodia - Ta Phrom

This bike was left outside the back entrance to the Temple area of Ta Phrom in Cambodia. The city area of Siem Reap which houses the temples of Angkor Wat and Ta Phrom once held a population of nearly a million people, and now all that remains are the thousand year old ruins left to remind us of how nature can undo anything humankind can build.

Seoul, South Korea

This was taken while on a weekend walk with my good friend Nathan through downtown Seoul. This street used to be a concrete jungle with with a double-decker roadway as its primary eye sore. It was through a stroke of genius in city planning that it was transformed into the beautiful inner city parkway featured above. It opened a congested city street and breathed life back into the core area of downtown Seoul.

Victim of Urban Warfare

Sadly, this victim of urban warfare was the casualty of poisoning that occurs annually as city dwellers fend off these so called pests from their 'relentless onslaught' on their homes. Far too often we forget that we share this land with all the other living beings on this planet, and we focus not on respecting life in all forms, but rather we turn our heads to our meager and flippant possession of the land. In doing so many people presuppose their right to their possession of land, and yet no one has any more of an essential right to its ownership than does a squirrel.

On cold Canadian winter days frost can turn itself into a forest mimicking and perhaps mocking the real one that stands frozen just outside and behind the ice on the window.

This shot was taken on a beautiful January day at the very northern tip of the Isle of Skye, Scotland. Behind the camera is no road only Ocean, and we stand looking back South towards the approach.

This is a view of Ducal Stewart Monument found in Edinburgh, Scotland on top of Calton hill that overlooks the city's and its castle.

This is a shot of the Arlington shortly after fire raged through its walls. Erected in 1909, it stood as Edmonton's first and oldest apartment complex for 95 years. Sadly, it was so badly damaged by the fire in 2005 that it had to be torn down, and it no longer stand as the beautiful edifice that it once was.

Taken in Edmonton, on a cold Fall day, was this shot of a dried plant locked forever in its attempted to flower.

The bridges from Halifax to Dartmouth are so scared by rust that they must be constantly repainted, however, only the rusting sections are repainted so as to save the cost of, each year, repainting the whole bridge. This results in an almost camouflage like effect caused by the mingling of the differing hues of green paint.

These bridge workers were steadily repairing the damage of time that rust effects on one of the bridges connecting Halifax to Dartmouth.

Taken near the shores of the Halifax Habor was this shot of a man who seemed to be from another time.
