This week I’m in Cary, North Carolina for work. It was a last minute trip. I thought I was going to Atlanta until the last minute. Cary is one corner of the Research Triangle formed by the state to foster the high tech industry.…

So it’s Sunday afternoon. I didn’t get any sleep on the plane. I walked around Miraflores and Parque Kennedy until my hotel was ready. I finally got in my room but my bag was still MIA. The front desk staff had sent it to the wrong room.…

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.…

Driving through Dallas a couple weeks ago I noticed a new building next to the highway across from the

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

In July 2012 we took a little family vacation to Austin. My son had just graduated, was heading off to college and did not join us. My daughter was able to bring a friend. We got a condo right on the river, or at least where the river used to be.…

Back in April 2012 I traveled to Savannah, Georgia with a couple of co-workers for a conference. Each evening we would try to take in the sights around town and out to the beach. I took a lot of pictures especially of Bonaventure Cemetery.…
