Ten-Years Ago (06-January-2008) — Colorado

Gone to See America 2008: Wintertime in Rocky Mountain National Park.

One of the benefits when I was working part-time (two weeks a month) in Boulder, Colorado was that Rocky Mountain National Park was only an hour drive. I got to see and take pictures in the park during all four seasons. A winter storm was approaching, so I only spent a few hours in the park.

Gone to See Antarctica 2014/2015. Hurtigruten Christmas Voyage. Day 17: At Sea Crossing the Drake Passage.

Cloudy, but at least the seas were calm while crossing the infamous Drake Passage. Plenty of time to work on images.
