One World Trade Center is now complete and it’s so beautiful. I desperately want to get back to NYC to see it. This was taken in 2011, standing near the Statue of Liberty. The original was hazy. I increased the contrast and clarity and reduced the noise. I used a graduated filter over the buildingsContinue reading “The rebuilding of WTC”

I’ve ordered many square photosContinue reading “2017 Calendar – Done!”

The tallest tree we saw on our trip was “Giant Tree”, which is 363 feet tall (111m) and hasContinue reading “Nature’s Giants”
Magical Woodland
If you ever have the chance to visit the redwoods in Humboldt County, California, DO IT. Put it on your bucket list. This shot doesn’t even do justice to the grandeur of the trees themselves (because these redwoods are on the smaller size). The giants of the natural world really have to be seen inContinue reading “Magical Woodland”
