Postcard From Lahaina
We had dinner at Lahaina Fish Company (la-ha-een-a) which included this beautiful sunset view of the island of Lanai (lan-eye-ee). The fish was good too! 😉
Postcard From The Top Of The World
Well, not quite the top, but close.
This evening we visited almost-the-summit of Mount Haleakala in Haleakala National Park for what turned out to be a pretty nice sunset with several hundred of our closest friends. The view from nearly 10,000 feet was spectacular!
Merry Christmas!
Kathy & I hope everyone has a joyful holiday. Best wishes to all!
Postcard From Watkins Glen, New York
We capped off our adventure today with a cruise on Seneca Lake and a visit to both a distillery and a winery. More souvenirs!  This is a pretty typical and boring tourist shot but it is a landmark in the town of Watkins Glen.
Postcard From The George Eastman Museum and House
Kathy & I drove to Rochester today to visit the Eastman House and – more importantly – meet up with some of our photo friends (more on that later). This photo is not necessarily representative of the experience but is one of my favorites for the day.
We’ve got one more day in the Finger Lakes before we head south on Saturday. We should be sleeping in our own bed on Sunday and are looking forward to it!
Postcard From The Glenn H Curtiss Museum In Hammondsport, New York
Other than the Wright Brothers, perhaps no other individual is as important to the history of aviation than Glenn Curtiss. Just a few years after the Wright Brothers’ first flight in 1903, Curtiss, almost single handedly, improved and advanced the newfangled airplane to see ever expanding commercial, military and personal application.
Curtiss’ various ventures centered in the area around Hammondsport, New York. The Glenn H. Curtiss Museum is a tribute to this aviation pioneer and is a fascinating place to learn about this area of aviation history.
Postcard From Seneca Lake, New York
I’m finding it quite easy to make these early morning excursions when I am in an interesting place to photograph. I went out this morning in front of the lodge where we are staying. It is still cloudy, although forecast to start clearing today. The soft cool morning light made long exposures easy. In this case 7.5 seconds on a tripod gave the water a nice blur while preserving some of the detail.
I forgot to mention in yesterday’s post that we are now officially at 49 states! The last one, of course, is Hawaii. We have plans to go there in February.
Postcard From the Adirondack Mountains Of New York
We happened upon this spot on our drive from Lake Placid to the Finger Lakes area of New York. Within minutes the breeze picked up and erased the reflections. A reminder to shoot what we see when we see it.
Postcard From Burlington, Vermont
What better symbol of Vermont than a Ben & Jerry’s? While this is not the original – it was torn down long ago – this one is the flagship store in downtown Burlington. The factory is located a few miles east in Waterbury, but the store and visitor center are undergoing renovation and currently closed. We made do with this one. What flavor did we choose? New York Super Fudge Chunk – Chocolate Ice Cream with White & Dark Fudge Chunks, Pecans, Walnuts & Fudge-Covered Almonds!
