Scotty’s Castle

One of the main attractions at the Death Valley National Park, is Scotty’s Castle. The castle, actually a residence and ranch, is in the northern part of Death Valley. There are many legends and controversies surrounding the castle, not the least of which concerns Scotty, himself.

Below, Verna looks into the dry plunge in the foreground with the castle and chime tower beyond. The last time we were here, the plunge was full of water, ready for swimmers. We don’t know why it is dry now. Click on the image for larger view.

Happy 2009!

I can’t take credit for this panoramic view of Hoover Dam, since I cropped it from one of Verna’s Dam shots. I do take credit for the word art, however.

Winter Canyon

Verna and I never get tired of seeing the Grand Canyon. This, however, is the first time we have come here together in the winter to enjoy the same views accentuated with a touch of snow. Click the panorama to see full-sized version.

Malaga Cove Reverse Panorama

Normally, when visiting the seashore, I take panoramic images of the coastline and surf. This time, however, in addition to the usual, I turned around and took a panoramic series of shots of the area behind the cove and combined them into this view. This was taken near Roessler Point, Malaga Cove, Palos Verdes Estates, CA. Click on the image for the full-sized panorama.

Summer Grand Canyon Panorama

This is the Grand Canyon as it appeared on a summer day in July, 2008. The panoramic image came from a series of photos taken at the South Rim near Mather Point. I stitched the photos together to make this panoramic view.

Hopefully, I will soon be able to show this same panoramic view as it appears in the wintertime. Stay tuned.
