Here are the photos that don't really belong in any existing
collection and I don't have enough of one kind to devote an
entire page to yet
In December 2003 I took a trip to the New Jersey shore for
a conference that took place at an ocean front resort. I didn't
bring my 35mm camera because I thought there would be nothing
nice to look at in the winter. Was I ever wrong! I saw one of
the most beautiful sunrises (see the slideshow!)
I'd ever seen over the ocean and at least I had my digital camera.
The beach was actually quite nice as soon as I got past the
arctic air coming off the ocean. It was quiet and I was alone
most times I went out. There is a quality and clarity
of sunlight in the winter that is simply not there in the summer.
I previously had visited Ithaca, New York and the surrounding
areas in October 2003. I somehow managed to hit the area as
the tree colors were peaking. I spent hours upstream at the
Taughannock River watching the leaves fall. This was the first
fall I had gone someplace other than Michigan and although New
York was great, I did miss Lake Superior badly.
Also included are some photos from my hometown of Columbus,
Ohio. I work downtown and love it there.
Note: the Ocean City, Maryland photos have
moved to their own page.
