to the four corners of the earth...
...east, west, north and south, I've been a lot of places to take unique landscapes and my fourth gallery is full of them. Another sunset, this time over the Sonoran Desert; stations, docks, plateaus and buttes, and Noah's Ark?!? There is a lot to see in this gallery!
4.1 - one of my favorite sunsets ever, I snapped this one from a rest area next to the interstate in Arizona. Looking out over the Sonoran Desert.
4.2 - another beauty from my afternoon in the Sunken Gardens of Lincoln, Nebraska.
4.3 - a church set, I believe constructed by HBO, at the Paramount Movie Ranch. It ended up being the only structure left when the rest of the Western Town burned down in 2019.
4.4 - another shot of an antique train, a diesel engine with passenger carriages on the Midland Railway in the UK.
4.5 - a long range shot of Phoenix from Papago Park.
4.6 - a pelican floats in the ocean near the Fort Myers Beach pier.
4.7 - a view from the Phoenix airport, one of the first photos I took on that first adventure to Arizona in 2017.
4.8 - an old galleon off the coast of Hawaii, spotted it while taking some long range shots.
4.9 - a little flower I found in grandma's backyard while mowing the lawn for grandpa.
4.10 - a quiet station in south Los Angeles. I noticed that there weren't too many people around and thought it would make an interesting shot.
4.11 - another view of the Grand Canyon, even with the points of scale like the people in the foreground, it still fails to capture the massiveness of it.
4.12 - a street lamp that caught my interest in Leeds, UK.
4.13 - a beautiful view from along the New South Wales coast in Australia.
4.14 - this dock in Boston is one of the oldest ports on the North American continent.
4.15 - a seagull examines its prey on Fort Myers Beach.
4.16 - some geese relax in a body of water near a willow tree on the edge of Tamsworth, UK.
4.17 - another Idahoan surprise, this plateau sat about one of the cities there and provided some excellent views, complete with benches.
4.18 - a lion in Pittsburgh Zoo, enjoying the afternoon sun. If I could change one thing about this photo, I wish the electric fence wasn't so prominent in the background. It's not the worst though and can serve as a leading line in the composition.
4.19 - another beautiful bunch of flowers, which I unfortunately cannot identify or remember where the photo was taken.
4.20 - a cargo ship off the coast of California, a long range shot taken from the somewhat ironically named Manhattan Beach, nothing like the Manhattan that comes to mind.
4.21 - a view of Tempe, Arizona from near the top of Hayden Butte.
4.22 - over 2017, 2018 and 2019, I visited the City of Angels a lot and I began to document the construction downtown with shots like this one.
4.23 - a lovely evening on Fort Myers Beach. I enjoy the depth and the richness of color in this one.
4.24 - the garden surrounding the Creation Museum in Kentucky
4.25 - St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans. Photographed on my visit in July 2019.
4.26 - the waves meet the beach walls at Waikiki Beach
4.27 - the arrivals and departures at the station in Leeds, UK.
4.28 - snapped this one from the interstate on one of our road trips, probably in Iowa, of a sunset and a wind turbine.
4.29 - the life-size replica of Noah's Ark in Kentucky is an impressive structure.
4.30 - stage lights behind a singer from Hillsong gave her a sort of glowing halo.
