It was 1977 when we took a trip to Las Vegas. From our hotel, we took a number of trips to various locations including the Hoover Dam located on Lake Mead and the Colorado River. Included in the sight seeing trip was a lunch at the Lake Mead Marina and restaurant and a boat trip on the lake and a view of the Hoover Dam from upstream. The photographs to the left and below were taken from the boat at about high noon. The colors of the

landscape varied from orange to coal black. The picture to the right drew my attention because of the, what seem to be, a large "X" across the landscape. I had no inkling if this phenomena was created by the position of the sun, scarred landscape from a digging or, if it was a natural deposit of some mineral. The white line at the bottom of the rock formations indicates the normal average water level of the lake. This water mark is visible on other pictures as

well as photographs taken from the Hoover Dam. See the "Landmark" page. The photograph on the left, testifies to the remarkable ability of the landscape to change colors within reasonable distance. The orange deposits shown in image # 1 more closely and the transition to a near black outcropping creates a fascinating environment for zoom lens and wide angle photography. All photographs were made with Nikon F2, 35/85 Vivitar and 100/250 Soligor.

The photograph to the right was taken in October about 5 O'clock in the morning at the charter fishing boat dock site located at Noank, Conn.. Sun rises are different than sun sets because the upcoming sun light is overcoming the dark where sun sets are a retreating light source. Because of the moisture in the air an aurora forms when the sun is just about below the horizon. This moment only lasts e few minutes. Nikkormat, Nikon 55 MM, Kodachrome 64. The image below was taken at a marina

located on one of the many rivers in the Netherlands. I was struck by the odd sight that all the craft moored there, were of the same type and of same manufacture. I do not know if this was intentional or a coincidence but it sure made for an unusual sight. The sky testifies to a cold windy day honoring the climate in that part of Europe.

Old Dixie road is located NE of Ormond Beach along the Halifax river estuaries. It is part of the

"Tomoka" land area located in a large swampy flood plane which is sparsely populated. To the left LL-806, are the ruins of the Anacape Mission. This mission traded in sugar cane and endeavored in paper production. It was destroyed by fire. Canon Elan 7E, 28/135 AF/IS and Kodak Royal Gold 200.
