Scutigera Coleptrata also known as a House Centipede crawling on one of my walls. It is not a silverfish. Apparently, they eat spiders and other small insects, so I leave them alone. This image was taken with a macro lens and a flash. It was late at night, and I normally do not see them during the day.
While visiting the Lerwick lighthouse there were many Atlantic Puffins nesting along the cliffs. This Puffin was resting behind some pink flowers.
Fifteen-Years Ago Today. Semester at Sea Spring 2010 Enrichment Voyage. Day 9 on the MV Explorer, Caribbean Sea.
The shadows of three photographers waiting for the sun to set on the deck of the MV Explorer. We were on the voyage as part of Michael Mariant’s “Ultimate Travel Photography” workshop. Every night we watched the sun set hoping to see and record the “Green Flash” as the sun goes below the horizon. Note the size of the telephoto lenses — mine was the small one in the middle.
I was surprised to see handguns, knives and other weapons at a shop in the St. Petersburg to Moscow train station. This was after we had gone through a security check and passing through metal detectors before boarding the night train to Moscow.
While the MV Explorer was docked in St. Georges, Granada our assignment for Michael Mariant’s Ultimate Travel Photography workshop was to photograph the people and activities in the town. It turned out to be exam day at the St. Georges Anglican Senior School. The headmaster let me step in and take some images of the students busy taking the exam.
While on a walkabout in Riga, we came across a Gold Street Artist following a group of women with ballons. He got one of the women to sit on his lap to have her picture taken. The Nikon 1 series of cameras were small and unobtrusive for street photography.
After flying to Sweden on Icelandic Air I took the Express Train from Arlanda Airport to Stockholm. This was after an overnight flight, changing planes in Reykjavik. I was tired and just followed the signs.
Harvey the backyard rabbit checking out if it was safe to have dinner in my vegetable garden. Harvey had part of its ear missing. I didn’t mind if he nibbled a bit. It was the deer that did the most damage.
An early morning rainbow visible from the deck of the MV Explorer as we approached San Juan, Puerto Rico. Several of the photographers in Michael Mariant’s Ultimate Travel Photography workshop were up early to check out the sunrise before arriving in Puerto Rico when the rainbow appeared.
When in Oslo, I always like to visit the Vigeland Sculpture Park. A target rich environment for photographers.
