What is this?
I started this blog during the first half of 2009, when, along with my wife, Ingrid, and youngest daughter, Daniela, I spent considerable time in Costa Rica and Spain. Here I recorded a summary of my impressions on most days during our travels. The observations are primarily made through the lens of my camera, augmented by a few paragraphs.
After returning to California in June 2009, I decided to continue the blog. Entries when I'm in California will be sporadic; I'll post more frequently when I travel. The goal will be to continue learning and sharing with the subject inspired by what I happened to find visually interesting.

Acknowledgment: Here is a big THANK YOU to my friend and colleague, Charlie, for his feedback and encouragement of my photography, especially in connection to my 2006 work in Denmark (not posted here) and my 2009 photos from Costa Rica.

I like the two central photos with the immense wideness of the tree foliage . Just think how much torque is applied to those branches, coming out diagonally from the trunk and supporting all those leaves.
And rani's favorite is the first picture because it reminds her of the Haunted Wood from Anne of Green Gables.
The second tree -- in the middle of the street -- is one I walked by almost every day, since it was less than a half mile from our apartment. Because it was in the middle of a busy street, I almost didn't notice it until this day when I decided to photograph trees. My attention was always focused on the traffic. I noticed that there was "a tree." But I only saw this ginormous, beautiful tree with such an incredible lateral reach, when I was looking through my camera lens.
Rani's favorite echoes some of the first interesting photos I took at the Dyrehave in Lyngby.
