Overpass near Glen Canyon, AR (Oct. 2025, iPhone 16 pro).
Driving through Utah and Arizona has been a dream, with sunny skies, canyons everywhere, red rock serving as eye candy.
I did not stop for the canyons this time, though I have archived photos. #photography #glencanyon #nature

Officially Fall here in the PNW, where the only thing chaotic and war-zone like is one’s opinion on protein drinks for $8 at Starbucks.
Here’s a collection of Fall leaves photos, past and present.

My nearby mountain (Tahoma, aka Mount Rainier, October 2025).
The “Big Dark” has finally begun after unusually warm temperatures in Fall, and the last long hikes and runs above 70F gives way to headlamps and long pants.

Beautiful Fall hiking (Alpine Lakes, October 2021 iPhone 13s)
Again, I usually don’t include myself in the subject I’m shooting. I set up the shot for video, had someone hold the camera at a better height than ground, and I caught some air.

Blue skies almost everyday of travel. Of note: it helps if you like to walk. Got 19,000 steps one of the days, with lots of stairs and narrow alley ways.

Old Man of Storr (Isle of Skye, Scotland, Sept. 2025).
iPhone 16pro, overcast conditions.
Moody weather fit the context perfectly. While it did clear up later in the day, the cloud cover made for just good enough conditions for a hike-run and picture opp.

Coincidentally, we hiked the same trail today, partly cloudy skies. No spectacular views of Mt. Rainier from the Tipsoe Lake side of the trail. Yet wildflowers. So. many. Wildflowers.
Tip: wake up at f@ck o’clock, beat the crowds.
