The Internet is all a-Twitter today over a couple of escaped llamas. Let the memes fly. Below are some pictures I took last May in Bogotá, Colombia of some llama’s making a living letting the tourists take their pictures.
One of my favorite photo-walks was in May, 2011 to the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array near Socorro, New Mexico. I was working in Albuquerque and decided to head out there before the visitor center closed so I could get pictures at sunset.…

9/11 Memorial in New York.…

In November 2014 I travelled to Charlotte, North Carolina. I think it was my first trip to Charlotte. My previous experience of North Carolina was seeing it from I-75 behind billboards reminding me how many exits were left until we reached
