  • 1927 Dodge Graham blue truck at antique gas station in Bodie, California's official state gold rush ghost town. Bodie State Historic Park lies in the Bodie Hills east of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in Mono County, near Bridgeport, California, USA. After W. S. Bodey's original gold discovery in 1859, profitable gold ore discoveries in 1876 and 1878 transformed "Bodie" from an isolated mining camp to a Wild West boomtown. By 1879, Bodie had a population of 5000-7000 people with 2000 buildings. At its peak, 65 saloons lined Main Street, which was a mile long. Bodie declined rapidly 1912-1917 and the last mine closed in 1942. Bodie became a National Historic Landmark in 1961 and Bodie State Historic Park in 1962.

  • Large columns, in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, in the Guadalupe Mountains, Chihuahuan Desert, southeast New Mexico, USA. Hike in on your own via the natural entrance or take an elevator from the visitor center. Geology: 4 to 6 million years ago, an acid bath in the water table slowly dissolved the underground rooms of Carlsbad Caverns, which then drained along with the uplift of the Guadalupe Mountains. The Guadalupe Mountains are the uplifted part of the ancient Capitan Reef which thrived along the edge of an inland sea more than 250 million years ago during Permian time. Carlsbad Caverns National Park protects part of the Capitan Reef, one of the best-preserved, exposed Permian-age fossil reefs in the world. The park's magnificent speleothems (cave formations) are due to rain and snowmelt soaking through soil and limestone rock, dripping into a cave, evaporating and depositing dissolved minerals. Drip-by-drip, over the past million years or so, Carlsbad Cavern has slowly been decorating itself. The slowest drips tend to stay on the ceiling (as stalactites, soda straws, draperies, ribbons or curtains). The faster drips are more likely to decorate the floor (with stalagmites, totem poles, flowstone, rim stone dams, lily pads, shelves, and cave pools). Today, due to the dry desert climate, few speleothems inside any Guadalupe Mountains caves are wet enough to actively grow. Most speleothems inside Carlsbad Cavern would have been much more active during the last ice age-up to around 10,000 years ago, but are now mostly inactive.

  • The #4 coal seam airshaft extends 1200 feet underground to the Primrose Mine at an elevation 780 feet below its opening, in Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park, King County, Washington, USA. The Newcastle coal seams were laid down in a salt-water lagoon of the Pacific Ocean. Over 20 million years, plate tectonics tilted the flat coal beds to a 42 degree angle, making removal more expensive. The peak of coal mining here fueled World War I trains, ships, and factories.

  • A dance of Fiji in the Canoe Pageant, "Rainbows of Paradise." The Polynesian Cultural Center (PCC) is a major theme park and living museum, in Laie on the northeast coast (Windward Side) of the island of Oahu, Hawaii, USA. The PCC first opened in 1963 as a way for students at the adjacent Church College of Hawaii (now Brigham Young University Hawaii) to earn money for their education and as a means to preserve and portray the cultures of the people of Polynesia. Performers demonstrate Polynesian arts and crafts within simulated tropical villages, covering Hawaii, Aotearoa (New Zealand), Fiji, Samoa, Tahiti, Tonga and the Marquesas Islands. The Rapa Nui (Easter Island) exhibit features seven hand-carved moai (stone statues). The PCC is run by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).

  • A black surfer flies high over waves at Banzai Pipeline surf reef break, offshore from Ehukai Beach Park in Pupukea on the North Shore of the island of Oahu, Hawaii, USA. Especially in winter, huge series of waves break into tubes upon reaching the shallows of the reef. This popular area, across the street from Sunset Beach Elementary School, has limited parking. Hawaii was first settled by Polynesians in several waves from about 300-1000 AD. Although surfing was first described in writing by Europeans visiting Hawaii in 1769 and 1779, the riding of waves with a wooden board likely originated in Western Polynesia thousands of years earlier. Hawaii is 2300 miles distant from the North American continent and is the northernmost island group in Polynesia. For this photo’s licensing options, please inquire.

  • Patterned lines of yearly snowfall melt from Helm Glacier in Garibaldi Provincial Park, seen from Panorama Ridge Trail in the Coast Range, British Columbia, Canada. Garibaldi Park is east of the Sea to Sky Highway (Route 99) between Squamish and Whistler. Global warming/climate change: The Helm Glacier had an area of 4.3 square kilometers in 1928, but declined by 78% to 0.92 square kilometers as of 2009. The Helm Glacier's melting trend mirrors that of all glaciers in the Pacific Northwest and fits into the pattern of glacier retreat across Canada (measured in the Canadian Glacier Retreat Index). From the early 1700s to 2005, half (51%) of the glacial ice cover of Garibaldi Provincial Park melted away (reference: Koch et al. 2008, web.unbc.ca). The record of 1900s glacier fluctuations in Garibaldi Park is similar to that in southern Europe, South America, and New Zealand, suggesting a common, global climatic cause.

  • Swirling cirrus clouds over Very Large Array (VLA) radio astronomy telescope, near Socorro, New Mexico, USA. The Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) is one of the world's premier astronomical radio observatories. Visit the VLA on the Plains of San Agustin fifty miles west of Socorro, between the towns of Magdalena and Datil, in New Mexico, USA. US Route 60 passes through the scientific complex, which welcomes visitors. The VLA is a set of 27 movable radio antennas on tracks in a Y-shape. Each antenna is 25 meters (82 feet) in diameter. The data from the antennas is combined electronically to give the resolution of an antenna 36km (22 miles) across, with the sensitivity of a dish 130 meters (422 feet) in diameter. After being built 1973-1980, the VLA’s electronics and software were significantly upgraded from 2001-2012 by at least an order of magnitude in both sensitivity and radio-frequency coverage. The VLA is a component of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO). Astronomers using the VLA have made key observations of black holes and protoplanetary disks around young stars, discovered magnetic filaments and traced complex gas motions at the Milky Way's center, probed the Universe's cosmological parameters, and provided new knowledge about interstellar radio emission. The VLA was prominently featured in the 1997 film "Contact," a classic science fiction drama film adapted from the Carl Sagan novel, with Jodie Foster portraying the film's protagonist, Dr. Eleanor "Ellie" Arroway, a SETI scientist who finds strong evidence of extraterrestrial life.

  • A vendor shelf offers calabash gourds fitted with silver straws for drinking mate (or maté), the Argentine national drink (known as chimarrão in Portuguese or cimarrón). Mate is prepared by steeping in hot water the dried leaves yerba mate (llex paraguariensis, known in Portuguese as erva-mate), a natural bitter herb. Genetic research on 8000+ year-old archeological calabash seeds (Lagenaria siceraria) found in America suggests that bottle gourds may have been domesticated earlier than food crops and livestock, and, like dogs, were brought by Paleo-Indians into the New World across a then-existing land bridge between Asia and America at the end of the last ice age. Mate was first consumed by the indigenous Guaraní and also spread by the Tupí people that lived in Southern Brazil (Paraguayan territory before the war of the Triple Alliance). European colonizers adopted yerba mate in the Spanish colony of Paraguay in the late 1500s, and in the 1600s, usage spread to the River Plate (Río de la Plata) and onwards to Chile. Buy a traditional mate-drinking gourd at a fun street fair in historic San Telmo ("Saint Pedro González Telmo"), the oldest neighborhood (barrio) in Buenos Aires, Argentina, South America.

  • A Convair B-36J "Peacemaker" strategic intercontinental bomber, at the Strategic Air Command & Aerospace Museum, in Ashland, Nebraska, USA. Although the B-36 was the largest bomber ever built and held the greatest combat unrefueled radius (10,000 miles), it never dropped a bomb in combat. The B-36 is the largest mass-produced piston-engined aircraft ever built, and has longest wingspan of any combat aircraft ever built, at 230 ft. Entering service in 1948, the B-36 was the primary nuclear weapons delivery vehicle of Strategic Air Command (SAC) until it was replaced by the jet-powered Boeing B-52 Stratofortress beginning in 1955 and phased out by 1959. This particular B-36J-111 (S/N 52-2217A) was manufactured by the Fort Worth Division of General Dynamics Corporation and delivered to the Strategic Air Command on December 22, 1953. Dimensions: Wingspan 230′, Length 162’1″, Height 46’9″.

  • A rainbow over a Fiji Airways jet in Suva, Fiji. We flew Fiji Airways from Christchurch over South and North Islands of New Zealand to Fiji then back to San Francisco, from where we drove back to Seattle. As of 2019, demand for air travel is surging just when our window to limit catastrophic global warming is closing. Decarbonizing the airline industry has proven difficult so far. I personally attempt to offset the carbon footprint of my photo-travel profession by not having kids (not birthing new children); by a lifetime of frugality and recycling; by driving exceptionally fuel-efficient vehicles (such as Toyota Prius); and by eating lower on the food chain.

  • Peat fire, teakettle, open hearth. Built around 1880, Arnol Blackhouse is a fully furnished traditional Lewis thatched dwelling, which sheltered a family and its animals under the same chimneyless roof. Warmed by a peat fire in a central open hearth with the smoke filtering out through the thatched straw roof, this blackhouse was home to a Hebridean crofting family and their animals, until they moved out in 1966. Today Arnol Blackhouse is insightfully preserved like the family left it. Evolving health regulations in the early 1900s demanded that livestock be housed separately, so "whitehouses" were built with several chimneys, single-thickness walls cemented with lime mortar, wallpaper, lino floors, and separate barn and byre (cowshed). Across the street from Arnol Blackhouse you can visit a furnished 1920s whitehouse. These new crofthouses were so different and bright inside that they were nicknamed "whitehouses," which led to the nickname "blackhouses" for the older antiquated structures.

The Orb Trademark, pressed onto every length of cloth and seen on the traditional woven label affixed to finished items, guarantees the highest quality, 100% pure new wool Harris Tweed, dyed, spun and handwoven by islanders of the Outer Hebrides of Scotland at their homes, to the laws enshrined in the 1993 Harris Tweed Act of Parliament. First woven in the 1700s by crafters in the Outer Hebrides, Harris Tweed was introduced to the British aristocracy in the 1840s by Lady Dunmore. To regulate and protect the fabric against imitations, the Harris Tweed Orb certification mark was created in 1909 (the oldest British mark of its kind). Today, the yarn is no longer hand spun, a change introduced with the Hattersley mark 1 loom, the first operated by feet. Most of the required virgin wool is now sourced from mainland Scotland. Harris Tweed is truly "dyed in the wool," that is, dyed prior to being spun. Gearrannan Blackhouse Village features 9 restored traditional thatched cottages, built in the late 1800s and lived in until 1974, the last to be inhabited in the Western Isles.

  • Waves crash along the scenic peninsula of Laupahoehoe Point County Park, on the Hamakua Coast, Big Island, Hawaii, USA. The plant called Beach Naupaka (Scaevola sericea, synonyms: Lobelia taccada, Scaevola taccada) is native to Hawaii and is also known as Naupaka Kahakai, or Half-flower. Its flower is white or cream usually tinged with purple, pale purple, or tan. According to Hawaiian legends, the one-sided flowers of Beach Naupaka are a symbol of lovers torn apart and never reunited. The corky seeds are buoyant and can remain viable in the ocean for a year as they are carried to new shorelines. The leaves have curled-under edges and are shiny, bright green, somewhat succulent, alternate, and obovate in shape with a broad, rounded tip. The plants are dense, spreading, mounding, thicket-forming shrubs. In Hawaii, Beach Naupaka grows wild along the coastlines and is also used as a landscaping or hedge plant in coastal areas because of salt tolerance and attractive form.

  • Glowing lava exits a lava tube, jets into the ocean, and explodes at Kamokuna, enlarging the Big Island, in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, just west of Kalapana, Hawaii, USA, on February 1, 2017. On Kilauea volcano's south flank, Pu'u O'o crater has been erupting continuously since 1983, making it the world's longest-lived rift-zone (flank) eruption of the last 200 years. The eruption has consumed 189 buildings and 8.7 miles of highway. Since 1987, the coastal highway has been closed, buried under lava up to 115 feet thick. After June 30, 2016, the County of Hawaii opened a section of the emergency road/Highway 130 to lava viewing (8 miles round trip, open 3pm-9pm), limiting vehicles to bicycles (rented at the roadblock in Kalapana for $15+ for 3 hours), local residents' cars, and emergency vehicles. See updates at: USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov and www.hawaiicounty.gov/lava-viewing/. Kilauea is between 300,000 and 600,000 years old and emerged above sea level about 100,000 years ago.

  • Ice calves into a snow avalanche, in Upper Lauterbrunnen Valley, in the canton of Bern, Switzerland, Europe. We loved hiking to the quiet retreat of Berghotel Obersteinberg, which offers tremendous views of waterfalls and peaks in Upper Lauterbrunnen Valley. Lit by candle light at night, this romantic escape built in the 1880s recalls an earlier era without power. The main luxuries here are flush toilets down the hall, and traditional Swiss hot meals. The private double rooms lack electricity, and bowls of water serve as bath and sink. Obersteinberg is a 2-hour walk from Stechelberg, or 4 hours from Mürren, in one of the world's most spectacular glaciated valleys. From Obersteinberg, don't miss the 2-3 hours round trip to the deep-blue tarn of Oberhornsee in the upper glacial basin, beneath snowcapped Grosshorn, Breithorn and Tschingelhorn. The Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch region is honored as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
