Little Wild Horse Canyon

This is one of the slot canyons you can find in Utah deserts.  Little Wild Horse Canyon winds up and up and in some parts is very narrow.   What a thrill to see this area in person.

Milky Way over Wild Horse Creek



These are a couple of the many star photos I was able to capture in the Utah desert.  Lack of light pollution combined with rain earlier in the day left me with absolutely perfect conditions to capture the stunning night sky.  You have no idea what is out there until you take a look at an actual, really dark, night sky.

Waves in Red - Little Wild Horse Canyon

Canyon walls found in Little Wild Horse in southern Utah.  This was one of my trips of a lifetime.  You are left in awe of the power that created this land, and the power of nature that continues to shape it over the thousands of years since.

Eric Clapton - Slowhand


Slowhand, originally uploaded by WhereRu.
This album really takes me back to my sophomore year of high school -1977. I had this on cassette back then. I remember being so disappointed because the sound on that cassette was muffled and poorly mastered. This newly remastered vinyl is just absolutely amazing. Remastered from the original 1/4" flat tapes and pressed on 180g Vinyl. Sounds is like nothing I have ever heard. This is the special 35th Anniversary edition.  Long Live Vinyl!

Winter on the Farm

Out for a nice drive on a wonderful winter day. Snowed the day before. I love how these old trees are just crazy crazy the way they grow. The contrast of the dark trees, white snow, and red farmhouse just really caught my eye.

Apples at the Winestore

Visiting the Brady Street neighborhood in Milwaukee. Found a very nice wine store that is actually an old house. Each room hosts different varieties of wine. Very nice. This bowl of apples was on the floor underneath the old desk which was the sales counter. Could not resist getting a few shots. This was my favorite.
