I travel a lot, and I take a lot of pictures when I travel. I don't consider myself a real photographer - I use point and shoot cameras with built-in zoom, after all. But because I travel a lot, and am willing to get more than a few feet away from my car, the surroundings do their part in giving me some decent picture-taking opportunities.

You will find some of my favorite pictures below. There are a whole lot more of my pictures on my pages on the travel picture website Worldisround.com. I will also add entries to my photo collections and on my PhotoBlog over time.

I went digital in 2004. For pictures before than, film speeds were typically 100 or 200, most were developed at the local grocery store, and then I scanned them in. Most are reduced size and resolution, something I've done for website space reasons. Some older favorites follow:

Late day near the Devil's Garden at Arches National Park, and still my favorite vacation picture:

When I was in central Alaska one July, the late blue sky often took on a golden hue; I can't explain it other than it probably had something to do with the angle of the sun that far north:

Trees and colorful rocks along the trail to Hidden Lake at Glacier National Park:
