From our verandah, the last night at sea...

Passages

On our vacation, I found myself with several interesting photos of doors and gateways. These are my favorites, in Barcelona, Eze and Sidi Abou Said.

Inner space...or outer space?

Hmmmm....these jellyfish at the Georgia Aquarium look like they'd be equally at home either way.

Frosty Fairyland

Fog off the water settles on the "stick trees" of winter and the resulting hoarfrost turns an Anchorage landscape into something out of The Chronicles of Narnia. Breathtaking.

JNU on final

Juneau is pretty quaint and photogenic anyway, but never more so than from the air. It's a "Give it up to God" kind of airport, for both take offs and landings, since Juneau sits in a bowl of mountains, but that makes for some awesome scenery.

This was taken on 1/16/2006, landing.

Spaceship on our ship

The artwork in the atrium of the ms Volendam is very Close Encounters modern.
