Happy Autumnal Equinox

Bighorn Jumping River

Today at around noon Colorado time, the sun will cross the celestial equator, marking the passage of summer and the advent of celestial autumn. For me it means that the best photography of the year is nearly upon us.

Climbing the Manitou Incline 2025

Manitou Incline

On a rare occasion people do come to visit me, and often it's because they want to climb the Manitou Incline. There may come a day when my old legs will no longer carry me up the 2700 rugged steps over the old cog railway that takes one to 8500 feet in elevation in just one mile of near verticle climbing, but on this day I was willing to give it one more try.

Sentinel Point Colorado

Exploring Horsethief Park in the snow was something I've been wanting to do for a while now. I've been on this trail in winter before, up to the falls anyway, but I've never taken the fork to the north at the beaver ponds.

I had a few frames of Ilford FP4 left in my old Canon A-1, and I took it up the trail to finish them off.

Two Immutable Lifestyle Constants – Hiking and Photography

Sangre de Cristo Range

Perhaps I can find a way to inspire others to hit the trail or the track. Perhaps my wealth of knowledge of the outdoors and sports gear will help someone to adopt an active lifestyle. So watch for my posts to take a new direction with more emphasis on the outdoor activities aspect of my adventures!
