Washington DC
Our nation's capital is quite a site to behold. The white house, congress, and many other things. Here's how it looks on a good day:
There were lots of tourists and everyone was concentrated in the stretch from the Lincoln memorial to Capital Hill(Congress).
Here's a (...)
Spruce Knob
The next destination on the map for me was Spruce Knob, the higest point in West Virginia and the higest summit within the Allegheny Mountains and Monogahela National Forest. This summit had quite a few more scenic views than the last two.
The peak is surrounded by other hills. I don't consider them real mountains, they are (...)
Campbell Hill and Hoosier Hill
On my Washington DC roadtrip, I started out by claiming two states at their high point, Indiana at Hoosier Hill and Ohio at Campbell Hill . Although not inspiring highpoint, the success of these two point marked the start of a good trip. Here are photos of me claiming my lands at the top.
Hoosier Hill (...)
Iowa Waterfalls Roundup
A few days ago, I took a road trip into Iowa and photographs three of its many waterfalls at Spook cave, Dunning Springs and at Siewer Springs State Park. It was sunnt so long-exposure was a bit tricky with the lighting but here are the results.
1. Buelah Springs Falls(near spook cave)
2. The best one at Dunning Springs:

Beckman Mill Scenery
I went to Beckman Mill yesterday around sunset time it was great. The mill isn't open yet but the scenery around there is great. Here is a picture of the mill at dusk:
The skies weren't great again for time-lapses but I got a great capture of sunset across the mill:
The mill (...)
Buckhorn State Park
After two and a half years, I went to Buckhorn State Park to try to get time-lapses of the sky. Unfortunately at sunset, the sky had cleared out, so that failed. But I did managed to get decent photos of the pond and the lake:
I did get a time lapse of the lake, but it didn't have clouds, use the ND-10 for this (...)
Effigy Mounds and Pikes Peak State Park
I took the liberty of the springtime weather this week to drive to Effigy Mounds and Pikes Peak State Park. I went to Pike's Peak first to catch the sunrise and it was great. The best shot was of a photographer standing on the balcony looking at the sunrise (...)
Yellow River State Forest
Took some time this monday to go across the Wisconsin-Iowa border and take a look at Yellow River State Forest. No leaves on the trees yet so the landscape wasn't all pretty but I did get some sunset shots.
Once again, very little wind, no cloud movement so it was very hard to get any time-lapse shots, will (...)
Fonferek Glen County Park
Went to Fonferek Glen County Park on a cloudy day but there were lots of good photos to be taken. It is the height of the Spring Melt so the waterfall there is running at full force:
Even though it was mostly cloudy, there were periods when the sub came out from the (...)
Gibraltar Rock
One of the best scenic viewspots in all fo Southern Wisconsin is Gibraltar Rock. Its 400ft cliffs provide a majestic view of the surrounding farmland and skies and gives great sunset as the opening faces to the west. Here is a photo of me practicing Karate at Sunset:
Makes for a great view. Its also a good place to try some time (...)
