"Star Trak"
A five-hour time exposure of the
night sky.  The earth's rotation
created the stars to streak.

"100 Kites"
"Storm Tree"
This shot was not set up.  My friend
against the rock had a sore tooth.  
My other friend is attempting to
bring relief through energetic
healing.  I was just climbing rocks
taking photos when I saw this.  The
sun right overhead helped create
the fantastic "light show" above
and around the pair.
"Two rocks talking"
If you notice closely, these rocks are right
above my friends in the photo "A healing
moment"!  And you'll just have to believe me
when I tell you none of this was planned!
"Zen"
Sun Moon Lake, Taiwan
The foreground man-made infinity edge
pool at The Lalu Hotel actually runs
along a sidewalk (where I'm standing)
and overlooks the misty/foggy lake.  
There are these dishes anchored in the
pool holding flowers every 10 feet or so.  
A really beautiful scene.

These two photos were taken in
the same room.  The Buddha
statue is in the center of the room
(and is a reflection in both photos)
and etched glass surrounds the
room on the walls.  The etchings of
the lotus and the hand were just
two of the magnificent works of art
here.

Uncategorical photos ... well they definitely belong in some kind of category, but as a collection of mine they
appear here under no specific
category.  I love the unusual, the abstract and the "uncategorical."  I have an
interest in spirituality and love the artwork of those masters who create statues, carvings and paintings of a
spiritual nature.  But there's more than that here on this page as you'll soon see.  Clouds from a jetliner, 100 kites
on one string (no Photoshop!), long exposure photography of the night sky, China plate art, man-made design
with nature complimenting it and other interesting images.  I hope you like them as much as I do.
