Very cool wildlife photo site you should check out: Dave Anderson's Sensored Light. I do snaps, Dave Anderson does photography. In addition to being a great nature photographer, Mr. Anderson is one of my father's closest friends and also my first boss (I cut his lawn when I was 12 years old). Enjoy.

Dammit. Travel envy and photo envy all in one post. Check out this cool picture taken by Crispin on his recent trip to Vietnam--one of the rare countries that I have not visited. All the rest of his frankly magical snaps of the trip can be found here.

The Big Island is a crazy-quilt of different landscapes: desert, tundra, volcanic, temperate, rain-forest. It's like having the whole world on one little island.



Lonely Acacia--looks like East Africa.



Snowy Mauna Kea--looks like Montana.



Utterly blasted volcanic landscape--looks like the Moon.



Volcanic steam rising from cracks in the ground--looks like wildfires in Southern California.



Akaka Falls--looks like the Andes.



Volcanic mist in the forest--looks plain spooky.

nice pictures dude, you are always out and about enjoying yourself it seems! Don't know if you saw any of the ones i took in Vietnam but a few were not bad (if I say so myself).

The Captain Cook Memorial on the Big Island. When he landed here on his round-the-world voyage in 1779, the Hawaiians killed him and ate him raw--and Cook was uncooked in more ways than one.

Couldn't let you have unidentified birds here. I'm fairly certain that this one is a Wandering Tattler...
