The Keweenaw Peninsula is a beautiful area. It’s been awhile since I’ve been there when on my way to Isle Royale.

I love Japanese architecture. The interiors lend itself to wonderful black and white photographs, such as yours. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, it’s a beautiful area. There may be a story behind the name of this peak, but I haven’t come across it so far.

This photo depicts a mountain that is mostly rock. The sloping sides of the mountain gradually show forest. The foreground is forest with an open meadow on the lower right. The sky is partly cloudy.

Fabulous. I had to zoom in to see that it’s actually a branch lying in the snow. Love the simplicity.

I think I like this vertical aspect and the way the lines of the waves lead the eye toward the surfers. Nice!

Beautiful scene. I love the way the creek meanders and shows the reflections. If you have the chance, it would be nice to see this shot with a slow shutter speed to smooth out the water a bit.

This photograph shows a scene in a courtyard looking toward a stone and brick wall with double wood doors. The floor is herringbone brick. There is a vase with cactus to the left of the door. The left door is open and shows a motor scooter leaning against the wall down the corridor.

Congrats on new photobook. I just placed my order. I may also pick up your book The Orgastic Future. I’ve read Kolbert’s book. Thanks.
