Welcome to my first blog

Namib - Abstract of Salt, Sand, and Garnet (Namibia)

At the prompting of our son, Brady, I have decided to start a photo blog in order to make it easier to share our love of the natural world with our friends.

My wife, Sue, and I are very fortunate to have the opportunity to travel to many of the worlds remotest locations and then to observe and capture images of landscapes and animals at these sites. This blog's purpose is to allow me to post one or two photos a day as I take or edit them. Sometimes I'll just post the photos. Other times I may give a little back story. I don't promise to put photos up while on trips, but when possible I will make the attempt.

So to start, we have just returned from Namibia and Botswana in southern Africa, and I am beginning to edit my photos. I'll share some of these images and supply a little background information when appropriate.

The first image on my blog is an aerial taken above the Namib Desert where garnet dunes sand dunes and salt form an abstract which constantly changes with the wind. The image was captured shooting straight down from approximately 5000 feet, and is shown as observed.

I will send out email notices to my friends when I post something new. In this case, as I find the time to edit my images.

I hope you enjoy my images!
