Curated Photo IX
The penultimate picture in the series… Even at 35,000 feet, the mountains looked close enough to touch. This is the same range seen by night in yesterday’s post, Curated Photo VIII. Flying over Canada, nearly at the Alaskan border, I was stunned by this view. Reflecting later, I realized how so many of us take…

Number 8 in the series… Gates of Heaven At 37,000 feet, we soared over mountain peaks in the Kluane National Park & Reserve of Canada.

A group of young feral cats, uninhibited, came out from behind the machine to greet me. I took…
A Curated Photo: Part III
This is the third in my series of ten favorite photos of summer. Enjoy. Third Eye Wat Pho, Bangkok. Photo opps at this temple complex were endless but this is my favorite. Most would have chosen a pic of the giant Reclining Buddha, which I also have, but I most appreciate this quiet corner of…
