I've seen the bicycle parking garages myself. Bicyclists have their own two-way street between the sidewalk and road for cars, and I almost got hit by a bike when I first visited because I didn't look both ways while crossing the bicycle road.
Here's a fact for you about Dutch canals...
I went for a drive in the Volcanic Tablelands north of Bishop, CA, and stumbled into this canyon with a narrow, twisty, tricky dirt road. A field of wildflowers inspired me to take a break from driving. White Mountain Peak is in the background, just a few hundred feet shorter than Mt. Whitney.
Mountains, you say?
The sunrise making the peaks of the Eastern Sierra glow from the top of the White Mountains (hello, Bishop!)

Thank you. I didn't see any smoke whatsoever from the Inn Fire. It doesn't appear that the fire has grown much since Thursday night after it jumped U.S. 395. On one side it's blocked by the shores of Mono Lake and the other is a steep slope of the Sierra near another burn scar. The wind has died...
I went for a drive on random dirt roads yesterday in the Eastern Sierra and ended up on Bald Mountain Lookout, a hilltop at 9100 feet that provides astonishing views in all directions. The Mono Craters are visible in the right side of the image, Obsidian Dome and Wilson Butte are in the center...
On Saturday I drove past a sparrow lying down in the road with its beak open. I picked it up and held it in the shade for a while. After pooping in my hand the bird flew away. I was wondering if this was a baby bird. Any ideas from the more experienced birders?
This is how I learned photography. My parents lent me their Pentax K30 during my time in France and because I couldn't get a job, I learned the camera. I took thousands upon thousand of awful photos of everything you could think of, until I got better at it.
My favorite shot of the set is the...
I know exactly what building this is and it’s indeed flashy. However, the resident burros wandering the streets stopping traffic and begging for treats will always be Beatty’s draw for me.
Mandarin ducks are definitely not common in my yard. In fact, this was my first time ever seeing one in person. Taken just a few weeks ago at the Berlin Zoo in Germany.
I’m just about recovered from jet lag after returning from a week in Portugal and Germany. Perhaps my favorite part of Portugal was the afternoon trip to Boca do Inferno near Cascais and Lisbon. I found it a slightly difficult place to photograph due to the harsh light and shadows as part of the...
