- [Aston Martin Vantage GTE](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/08/22/aston-martin-vantage-gte/) - One of the most exciting things about World Endurance Championship is the fact that it's basically three separate races running concurrently on the same track. The field consists of three different specifications of car, each with rather different performance and speed characteristics, meaning that there's a great deal of overtaking going on. If you're fed

The distance is deceptive, however, because getting between the two takes about an hour in a serious off-road vehicle. Accessing Marlboro Point is not for the faint of heart!
- [Dead Horse Point](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/08/16/dead-horse-point-3/) - The view from Dead Horse Point State Park near Moab in Utah is pretty darned spectacular first thing in the morning.

- [Rain](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/07/06/rain/) - Rain to totals of up to 21 inches have fallen in Central Texas over the July 4th weekend. Locally, my rain gauge registered only 3.7 inches and we were lucky enough to be largely unaffected with the low water crossing between our house and the main road remaining open. The same can't be said for

- [The Republic, March 2025](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/04/02/the-republic-march-2025/) - Another exciting addition to the Austin skyline is close to being ready. The Republic, with a scheduled completion date this summer, is a 48 floor office tower on 4th Street at Republic Square Park. The clean lines and reflective exterior should make for some great new downtown images once the construction cranes are removed. Here's
- [Town Lake Reflection](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/04/01/town-lake-reflection/) - The skyline of Austin seen reflected on the surface of Town Lake (or Lady Bird Lake depending upon your naming preference) on the evening of March 28th, 2025.

- [Sixth and Guadalupe](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/03/30/sixth-and-guadalupe/) - The newly opened Sixth and Guadalupe tower in downtown Austin is the current holder of the Tallest Building in Austin title, rising to a height of 864 feet. It won't hold that record long, however, since the new Waterline tower, growing rapidly on Rainey Street, is expected to top out at 1022 feet and will
- [Rainey Street, March 2025](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/03/29/rainey-street-march-2025/) - Time for some new pictures! After a couple of stormy days this week, the weather began to clear yesterday afternoon so I headed into downtown Austin in the hope of finding some good skies. The conditions didn't disappoint and I managed to grab 80 or so new images to add to my collection of Austin
- [Spotted!](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/03/28/spotted/) - A member of the color guard for the University of Texas Longhorn Band reacts after spotting me taking his picture before their September 18th, 2021 game against Rice at Texas Memorial Stadium, Austin.
- [Emmakate Franz, Ballerina](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/03/27/emmakate-franz-ballerina-2/) - This portrait of ballerina Emmakate Franz was taken back in May 2022 during an amazing dance photography workshop arranged by Precision Camera and led by Joe McNally at Art Beat Dance Studio in Cedar Park. While I can take no credit for the lighting, I love the image and have very fond memories of a
- [Ana On Her Paddleboard](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/03/26/ana-on-her-paddleboard/) - I mentioned Jon's sister Ana in my post from a couple of days ago so reckoned I should include one of her senior portraits in this set too. Here she is in April 2023, wearing her prom dress and floating on Onion Creek with the aid of one of her chosen props, a stand-up paddleboard.
- [Alexa at Onion Creek](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/03/25/alexa-at-onion-creek/) - I'll stay with portraits taken at Onion Creek in Dripping Springs today with this image of Alexa which was taken on a muggy evening last September.
- [Jon at Onion Creek](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/03/24/jon-at-onion-creek/) - I had the pleasure of taking some more portraits a couple of weeks ago and Jon followed in his older sister's footsteps and decided to have them taken down by the dam across Onion Creek in Dripping Springs' Arrowhead Ranch subdivision. This is a great location, especially at sunset, with lots of interesting backgrounds and
- [Brown Skua](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/03/23/brown-skua/) - A Brown Skua (Stercorarius antarcticus) seen at St. Andrews Bay, South Georgia on December 24th, 2024. These birds live on the periphery of many penguin colonies and have a bad reputation (as anyone who has watched Happy Feet will know) due to the fact that penguin chicks are a major part of their diet.
- [Antarctic Tern, South Georgia](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/03/21/antarctic-tern-south-georgia/) - An Antarctic Tern (Sterna vittata georgiae) adult and chick seen at Godthul on South Georgia, December 24th, 2024.
- [Antarctic Tern](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2024/12/25/arctic-tern/) - I was delighted to find that there are Antarctic Terns (Sterna vittata georgiae) nesting at Godthul on South Georgia where we spent yesterday afternoon. I've always loved these birds - they have such classically beautiful lines and a great life story. Each year, they experience two summers, circumnavigating the planet to spend time in both
- [Ruddy-Headed Goose](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/03/20/ruddy-headed-goose/) - A Ruddy-Headed Goose (Chloephaga rubidiceps) seen New Island, one of the Falkland Islands, on December 19th, 2024.
- [Bathing Petrel](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/03/19/bathing-petrel/) - This rather gruesome looking Southern Giant Petrel (Macronectes giganteus) was taking a bath at Cooper Bay, South Georgia where it and a number of other petrels and skuas had been feasting on a seal carcass. We saw these birds at all the locations we visited on the trip and, although smaller than some of the

- [South Georgia Pintails](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/03/17/south-georgia-pintails/) - We saw a lot of penguins during our Antarctic adventure but there were also plenty of non-penguin birds to spot so I'll run a short series of those photos this week. First, we have a pair of South Georgia Pintails (Anas georgica georgica) seen at Gold Harbor on Christmas Day.
- [South Georgia Ice](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/03/14/south-georgia-ice/) - Continuing the iceberg theme, here's another spectacular berg seen as we exited Cooper Bay in South Georgia on Christmas Day last year. This also marks a first for me - the first time I've processed and exported an image for use on this photoblog without realizing it was taken on my phone! The HEIC image
- [Iceberg A76b](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/03/13/iceberg-a76b/) - This was the first large iceberg we saw on the trip during our passage between the Falkland Islands and South Georgia on December 22nd, 2024. A76b is the second largest fragment of the original A76 iceberg which calved from the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf in the Weddell Sea in May 2021.
- [Grounded Iceberg, Cooper Bay](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/03/12/grounded-iceberg-cooper-bay/) - I'm going to stick with the icebergs of Cooper Bay, South Georgia for a few more days since I have so many shots taken there that I really enjoy. This area was full of ice that had been driven towards the island by prevailing currents and then got stuck on the shallower seabed just offshore.
- [Cooper Bay Icebergs](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/03/11/cooper-bay-icebergs/) - I'm heading back south today with this view of one of the many icebergs grounded in Cooper Bay, South Georgia. The captain expertly navigated M/V Hondius through a large collection of similar bergs as we left the area on Christmas Day last year.
- [Evan Downtown](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/03/10/evan-downtown/) - I'll be doing plenty of Robotics competitions over the next few weeks so let's take a break and move back into the archives. This is a portrait I took as part of a senior session in downtown Austin during the second week in January. It was a cold and blustery day but Evan was a

- [Vermont Sugar Shack](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/02/27/vermont-sugar-shack/) - An old sugar shack on a farm near Waitsfield, Vermont seen in October, 2023 during our NxNW expedition. These buildings are where maple sap is boiled down to produce the maple syrup for which the state is famous.
- [Mount Hood](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/02/26/mount-hood/) - Moving farther into the past, here's an image taken as I was traveling home from our 2015 NxNW expedition to Washington state's Palouse region. This was shot with my trusty old Fuji X20 out the window of an airliner as we passed Mount Hood in the Cascades just south of Seattle.
- [Jetty at Blue Rocks](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/02/25/jetty-at-blue-rocks/) - A collection of somewhat haphazard jetties and a fishing hut seen in Blue Rocks, Nova Scotia during our NxNW expedition to Canada in September 2019.
- [Sunrise at New London Light](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/02/24/sunrise-at-new-london-light-3/) - Here's another lighthouse from our 2019 NxNW expedition, this one at New London on Prince Edward Island. We had an absolutely magical sunrise that morning with glorious colour. This shot was taken at 6:50am, 20 minutes or so after the absolute peak of the action.
- [Peggy's Cove Light](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/02/23/peggys-cove-light/) - I'm heading three years farther into the archive and a couple of thousand miles east for today's picture of Peggy's Cove lighthouse taken during our 2019 NxNW expedition to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island in Canada.
- [Factory Butte, Pre-Sunrise](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/02/22/factory-butte-pre-sunrise/) - Staying with our 2022 NxNW expedition to Utah, here's another drone image of Factory Butte near Hanksville taken just before sunrise on October 5th.
- [Utah Variations](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/02/21/utah-variations/) - I love the Utah desert and, specifically, the area around Hanksville and Factory Butte. The sheer variety of different terrain types found within a ten mile or so radius is quite incredible. This drone vertorama illustrates several of these. It was taken from the area around the Mars Research Center where you can find amazingly
- [Longhorn Band: Fan Footwear](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2012/09/14/longhorn-band-fan-footwear/) - I suppose I'm breaking the rules a bit here since there are no actual band members in this image but they were all immediately behind me at this point so I guess it's OK. The section of the stands next to where the band sits on the south end of the stadium is occupied by
- [Night in Goblin Valley](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/02/20/night-in-goblin-valley/) - Goblin Valley State Park in Utah is a fascinating place that I've visited a couple of times now. Not only is the landscape amazing, but you are also permitted to stay late after dark, and can easily obtain permission to fly drones there. This image was taken well after sunset on October 5th, 2022 during
- [Dead Horse Point](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/02/19/dead-horse-point-2/) - A view of the Colorado River snaking through the canyon below Dead Horse Point State Park near Moab in Utah. This was taken during one of the sunrise shoots we did while on our 2022 NxNW expedition.
- [Erosion](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/02/18/erosion/) - This image was taken at the same location as yesterday's but a year later in 2022. We don't make a habit of visiting the same places on consecutive years for our NxNW trips but, after several members missed the 2021 expedition, we decided to do a repeat in 2022. This is another drone image of
- [Tracks in the Dirt](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/02/17/tracks-in-the-dirt/) - We'll stick with drone-based abstract landscapes today with this image taken near Factory Butte in Utah back during our 2021 NxNW expedition. The area between the butte and the main road is popular with local dirt bike and ATV riders who leave tracks carved into the soft terrain of the eroded "foothills".
- [Dry Creek, Moab](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/02/16/dry-creek-moab/) - I'm going back into my unposted photos from prior NxNW expeditions this week and start with this somewhat-abstract aerial view of Onion Creek near Moab, Utah taken in November 2021.
- [Sweet 16](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/02/15/sweet-16/) - Today is the 16th birthday of this photoblog! I posted my first image on February 15th, 2009 and, 4567 posts later (wow - cool number too!), here we are. Since I've been posting racing pictures this week, this one seemed appropriate - F1 driver number 16, Charles Leclerc of Ferrari seen here during qualification for
- [State Capitol Rotunda](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2009/02/15/state-capitol-rotunda/) - The interior of the State Capitol rotunda, Austin, Texas.
- [Jorge Lorenzo, MotoGP 2016](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/02/14/jorge-lorenzo-motogp-2016-3/) - It's been fun going through old racing pictures looking for frames that I missed during the initial edit. Here's one of Jorge Lorenzo riding for MotoGP team Movistar Yamaha during the 2016 Red Bull Grand Prix of the Americas at Circuit of the Americas, Austin.
- [Marc Marquez, MotoGP 2013](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/02/13/marc-marquez-motogp-2013/) - Delving farther back into the archives and switching to another type of racing, here's Marc Marquez riding for the Repsol Honda MotoGP team during the Red Bull Grand Prix of the Americas at Circuit of the Americas, Austin on April 20th, 2013.
- [Lewis Hamilton, USGP 2024](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/02/12/lewis-hamilton-usgp-2024-2/) - I should probably post my remaining pictures of Lewis Hamilton soon given that he'll be driving the red car in the upcoming season. Here he is in his Mercedes rounding Turn 7 at Circuit of the Americas during qualification for the United States Grand Prix on October 18th, 2024.
- [Pierre Gasly, Alpine](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/02/11/pierre-gasly-alpine/) - Back to Circuit of the Americas today with this image of Pierre Gasly driving his 2024 Alpine during the October 18th practice session prior to the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix.

- [Superdome](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/02/10/superdome-3/) - Watching last night's disappointingly one-sided Super Bowl game took me back a year to my last visit to New Orleans with the Texas Longhorns for their New Years Day 2024 playoff game against the Washington Huskies. The result didn't end up as we had hoped but it was so much fun to get to photograph
- [Yuki Tsunoda, RB F1](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/02/09/yuki-tsunoda-rb-f1/) - Let's head back to last year's United States Grand Prix weekend today. Here's Yuki Tsunoda driving for Visa Cash App RB F1 during sprint qualifying at Circuit of the Americas, Austin on October 18th, 2024.
- [Heading to Hondius](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/02/08/heading-to-hondius/) - I've been posting images from my amazing trip to Antarctica for almost two months now but the time has come to say goodbye with this image of a zodiac returning to M/V Hondius after one of our earliest shore excursions on New Island in the Falkland Islands. This trip was an absolutely incredible experience with

- [Leon Coffee, Rodeo Clown](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2017/10/10/leon-coffee-rodeo-clown/) - Rodeo clowns are often under-appreciated but not so in Dripping Springs where Leon Coffee keeps the show rolling along, punctuating the action with great ad-lib humour. He's a fixture at most local rodeo events and always guarantees that I get at least one good portrait whenever I show up with a camera.
- [Pup on the Beach](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/02/06/pup-on-the-beach/) - A fur seal pup boldly defending its territory on the beach at Fortuna Bay, South Georgia on December 23rd, 2024.

- [King Penguins at St.  Andrews Bay](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/02/03/king-penguins-at-st-andrews-bay/) - During three weeks of amazing locations, St. Andrews Bay on South Georgia still stands out as the most incredible to me. Penguins, rivers, glaciers, mountains - it had everything. While the main colony was spectacular, the views of thousands of King Penguins lined up along the banks of the meltwater streams definitely topped my list.
- [Wind-blown Albatross](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/02/02/wind-blown-albatross/) - A Black-browed Albatross (Thalassarche melanophris) gets ruffled by a high wind as it sits on its nest on New Island, one of the Falkland Islands, on December 19th, 2024. I took this during our first shore excursion of the expedition. The boat was anchored in the lee of the island and we walked across to

When in the water, and for a period after they exit, these seals have the most gorgeous, shiny, silver grey colouring.
- [Ice Abstract](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/01/31/ice-abstract/) - Complex patterns in the ice at Salpêtrière Bay, Antarctica as seen on December 31st, 2024.
- [South Georgia Shag](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/01/30/south-georgia-shag/) - We spied this cormorant, most likely a South Georgia Shag (Leucocarbo georgianus), fishing in Cooper Bay, South Georgia on Christmas Day last year. These birds, and several very similar species of blue-eyed cormorant, are very common all around the subantarctic islands. I'm partly guessing on the identification here since I can't see this individual's wings
- [Adélie Penguin](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/01/29/adelie-penguin-2/) - Based on a very unscientific glance at Instagram engagement numbers, it seems that people prefer penguins and icebergs to rusty whaling stations so, in an attempt to give people what they want, here's a few more penguins. I saw this Adélie (Pygoscelis adeliae) with two chicks on Petermann Island on December 31st, 2024. Despite waiting
- [Rusting Tanks](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/01/28/rusting-tanks/) - Rusting tanks and machinery in the historic whaling station at Grytviken, South Georgia, December 23rd, 2024.

- [Grytviken Machinery](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/01/26/grytviken-machinery/) - We'll stay with the Grytviken whaling station today with another picture of the abandoned machinery found there. I expect this was some kind of boiler since most of the processes there appeared to have involved boiling various parts of the whale to extract oil.
- [Grytviken Whaling Station](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/01/25/grytviken-whaling-station/) - Our trip was, obviously, dominated by wildlife and landscape photography but some of my favourite images were taken in the derelict whaling station at Grytviken in South Georgia. The station was in operation between 1904 and 1966 and, at its peak, employed around 300 workers during the South Georgia summer months. Today it is preserved
- [Just a Gentoo](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/01/24/just-a-gentoo/) - A Gentoo Penguin (Pygoscelis papua) seen on an ice floe at Cape Tuxen, Antarctica on December 31st, 2024.
- [Buxton Glacier, South Georgia](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/01/23/buxton-glacier-south-georgia/) - Buxton Glacier is one of three glaciers that meet and terminate at St. Andrews Bay in South Georgia. Maps indicate that the glacier front has receded by about a mile since the 1960s when it used to reach the water. Today, the huge alluvial plane in front of the terminus is home to a giant

- [Mohawk](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/01/17/mohawk/) - After a year on land as brown fuzzballs, King Penguins shed their fuzz and prepare to head out to sea for the first time. Here's one disreputable-looking teenager, seen at Gold Harbour, South Georgia on Christmas Day, in the final stages of its first moult, just waiting for the mohawk to disappear. At this stage,
- [King Penguin Patterns](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/01/16/king-penguin-patterns/) - The King Penguin rookery at St. Andrews Bay on South Georgia is the world's largest. The last official count in 2021 estimated 150,000 birds but recent observation suggests that it is now closer to 400,000. Regardless of the actual number, however, the view is spectacular as the individual birds blur into an abstract pattern of
- [Iceberg at Cape Tuxen](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/01/15/iceberg-at-cape-tuxen/) - One of the many and varied icebergs floating in the bay at Cape Tuxen, Antarctica on the morning of December 31st, 2024.
- [Fierce](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/01/14/fierce/) - Fur Seals (Arctocephalus gazella) were everywhere on South Georgia where the current population is estimated at five million or about 95% of the world population. They were also the most territorial of the creatures we met and would often rear up and rush (as fast as a seal can) towards you if you got too
- [Macaronis](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/01/13/macaronis/) - Aside from one lost individual on the Falkland Islands, we only saw Macaroni Penguins (Eudyptes chrysolophus) in a single location during our trip. Here are a few of the members of the colony at Cooper Bay on South Georgia that we visited on December 24th. The elaborately-crested Macaronis were so named after flamboyantly-dressed 19th century
- [Cornwallis and Elephant Islands](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/01/12/cornwallis-and-elephant-islands/) - Cornwallis Island is a 1 mile long outcrop of dramatically rugged rock and ice jutting from the Southern Ocean at the north eastern tip of the South Shetlands chain just off the north edge of the Antarctic Peninsula. We passed it at about 7:30am on the morning of December 29th and the light angle was
- [Moulting King Penguin](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/01/11/moulting-king-penguin/) - King penguins (Aptenodytes patagonicus) undergo an annual catastrophic moult during which they replace their entire collection of feathers all at once. For a period of a month or so, they are unable to swim (they are no longer waterproof, apparently) so they stay on land and just wait for the process to complete. Here's a
- [Iceberg, Cooper Bay](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/01/09/iceberg-cooper-bay/) - We saw a huge diversity in the shapes and textures of icebergs on the trip. This one, spotted as we left Cooper Bay in South Georgia, had likely toppled over to expose a smooth, rippled section that was previously under water. Find a complete gallery of my images from the trip at https://davewilson.smugmug.com/Travel/Antarctica-December-2024.
- [Zodiac at Cape Tuxen](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/01/08/zodiac-at-cape-tuxen/) - I'll stick with the zodiac theme today with this image taken at Cape Tuxen on the Antarctic mainland. This was one of the most breathtaking views of the expedition - the scale of those mountains in the background really doesn't come across in this photo, unfortunately - and was made even more impressive by the
- [Zodiac in King Haakon Bay](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/01/07/zodiac-in-king-haakon-bay/) - Shackleton's epic 1916 rescue mission, sailing 800 miles in a lifeboat from Elephant Island in Antarctica to seek help for his stranded crew, reached land in King Haakon Bay on the north-west tip of South Georgia. We visited the site on December 26th, hiking to his camp site and cruising the bay to view the
- [Gentoo Nest, Orne Islands](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/01/05/gentoo-nest-orne-islands/) - Staying with the Gentoo penguin theme, here's a nest we spied on the Orne Islands during our January 1st shore landing. This parent (you can't easily tell whether Gentoos are male or female and both parents take turns tending the nest) was feeding two tiny chicks not more than a few days old so I
- [Gentoo on an Iceberg](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/01/04/gentoo-on-an-iceberg/) - We spotted this Gentoo penguin struggling to get onto a grounded iceberg in a bay at Petermann Island, Antarctica during a zodiac cruise on December 31st, 2024. The waves washed it on and off the floe several times before it caught a foothold and managed to climb to this position. Gentoos were definitely the most
- [Icebergs at Cape Tuxen](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/01/03/icebergs-at-cape-tuxen/) - The big Antarctic adventure is almost over, unfortunately. Our journey back to Ushuaia has been fine so far with the Drake Passage proving less daunting than the stories and the Wednesday weather forecast suggested. The worst of the forecast storm passed during the night and I slept right through it, getting up this morning to
- [Feeding Humpback](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/01/02/feeding-humpback/) - Back on December 31st, we were delighted to be able to watch a couple of Humpback Whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) spend about an hour feeding all around the ship while it was anchored at Salpetriere Bay. They circled the boat, following a regular enough path that I could get good pictures of them as they broke
- [Adélie Penguin](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2025/01/01/adelie-penguin/) - Adélie penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae) are found along the entire Antarctic coast but not on any of the sub-Antarctic islands so we only started seeing them in the last couple of days. This little guy seems to have got lost, though, since we spied him this morning in a Gentoo and Chinstrap colony in the Orne
- [M/V Hondius](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2024/12/31/m-v-hondius/) - M/V Hondius, one of four vessels operated by Oceanwide Expeditions, has been our traveling home for the last couple of weeks as we've wandered the Southern Ocean. Here's a photo from yesterday at Deception Island, an active volcanic caldera, where we made a shore landing.
- [Chinstrap Penguins](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2024/12/30/chinstrap-penguins/) - We visited Elephant Island yesterday for a zodiac cruise around the bay at Point Wild, the location of the final rescue of Shackleton's team back in August 1916. The rugged and remote area where the men camped is home to a large colony of Chinstrap Penguins and a bronze bust of Captain Luis Pardo Villalón,
- [Cornwallis Island](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2024/12/29/cornwallis-island/) - We reached Antarctica proper this morning and were woken up half an hour early when the expedition crew noticed a huge number of whales feeding just ahead of the ship. This was my view after racing to the deck. Cornwallis Island lies about 5 miles north east of Elephant Island in the South Shetland chain
- [Fur Seal Pup](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2024/12/28/fur-seal-pup/) - I just realised that I have so far failed to post an image of the cutest inhabitants of South Georgia so today's picture aims to correct that. We visited the island during the height of Antarctic Fur Seal (Arctocephalus gazella) breeding season and the island is covered with these adorable balls of fur. Despite their
- [Antarctic Prion](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2024/12/27/antarctic-prion/) - We cruised past the world's largest iceberg, A-23a, this morning and picked up a significant following of local seabirds including this Antarctic Prion (Pachyptila desolata). These birds have amazing flying skills, racing along just above the surface of the waves and changing direction on a dime, making them very difficult (at least for me) to
- [Briggs Glacier, South Georgia](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2024/12/26/briggs-glacier-south-georgia/) - Thanks to unexpectedly calm weather, we ended up spending an additional morning at South Georgia to visit King Haakon Bay in the north west of the island. This area faces the prevailing wind and is seldom visited due to high swell. It's also the point on the island where, on May 10th, 1916, Shackleton's team
- [King Penguins, St Andrews Bay](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2024/12/24/king-penguins-st-andrews-bay/) - This morning's shore excursion was absolutely amazing. We got up at 4am to shuttle across to the beach at St. Andrew's Bay on South Georgia, home to the island's (and probably the world's) largest colony of King Penguins (Aptenodytes patagonicus). 2021 estimates suggest that the main colony contains something around 150,000 birds with adults and
- [Rusty Grytviken](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2024/12/23/rusty-grytviken/) - We had a tremendous day today with two landings at very different locations on South Georgia. Rather than posting another nature picture, as I would have to do if I chose something from our morning visit to Fortuna Bay, here's an image from this afternoon when we landed at the island's main "town" of Grytviken,
- [Preening Cormorant](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2024/12/22/preening-cormorant/) - The first bird colony we visited on New Island (on December 19th) was home to a large number of Imperial Cormorants (Leucocarbo bransfieldensis) including this one which was diligently preening as I took a bunch of pictures of it. These birds have multiple names including King Cormorant, Blue-Eyed Cormorant and Antarctic Cormorant, and all variations
- [Gentoo and Chicks](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2024/12/21/gentoo-and-chicks/) - A Gentoo penguin with two chicks in a colony on New Island, one of the Falkland Islands, on December 19th, 2024. The landscape of New Island reminded me very much of the islands off the west coast of Scotland except for clumps of pampas grass scattering the moors and circles of nesting penguins!
- [Onward to South Georgia](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2024/12/20/onward-to-south-georgia/) - After two incredible days on the Falkland Islands, M/V Hondius raised anchor this afternoon and hit the open sea in the direction of South Georgia, three days travel ahead of us. I took this image just after dinner this evening usingthe Spectre iPhone application which creates handheld long exposure images. It's well worth a look
- [Rockhopper](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2024/12/19/rockhopper/) - Today was our first penguin day! We spent it visiting a couple of different bird colonies on New Island, one of the 704 islands comprising the Falkland Islands sitting right at the north western edge of the group. Our morning shore excursion took us to a breeding colony of Black-browed Albatross, Blue-eyed Cormorants and Rockhopper
- [Black-Browed Albatross](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2024/12/18/black-browed-albatross/) - Apparently Oceanwide Expeditions have installed StarLink on their boats and, as a result, are now offering limited, free internet to guests for the duration of their voyage! Despite yesterday's sign-off, I may actually be able to continue posting on and off while we're sailing around the Southern Ocean. Here's an image of a Black-browed Albatross
- [Seabourn Pursuit](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2024/12/17/seabourn-pursuit/) - We check out of our Ushuaia hotel in a few minutes and head to the port to embark on a long-planned 3 week expedition in the Southern Ocean and Antarctica so things are going to go quiet here for a while. Here's an image of one of the vessels that left port yesterday since it
- [Dolphin Gull, Ushuaia](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2024/12/16/dolphin-gull-ushuaia/) - We made it to Ushuaia in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina today and spent a few hours just wandering around the town and seafront getting a feel for the place. These attractive gulls with light grey and black bodies, pure white tails and strikingly red/orange legs and beaks are numerous around the port and, after photographing
- [El Ateneo Book Store, Buenos Aires](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2024/12/15/el-ateneo-book-store-buenos-aires/) - Day one of our trip got off to a flying start with a whistle-stop tour of some of Buenos Aires' main sights. It turned out to be a great way to spend a chunk of our 19 hour layover before the next leg of the journey to Ushuaia in Tierra del Fuego. One of the
- [Best of 2024](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2024/12/14/best-of-2024/) - The time has come to post my favourite images of the year (although I reserve the right to change this later or adjust my date boundaries for next year since the last two weeks of the year should prove a photographic bonanza. More of that later...). As always, whittling this year's 43500 exposures down to
- [Eroded Ridges](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2024/12/14/eroded-ridges/) - Here's another take on Factory Butte near Hanksville, Utah from our 2022 NxNW expedition. This image was taken during the same flight as the one I posted a couple of days ago but, crucially, several minutes later after the sun had fully set. The softer light removed the high contrast lines along the ridge tops
- [Austin in Autumn](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2024/12/13/austin-in-autumn/) - Austin's fleeting autumn season is currently in full swing with some great colour in the scattering of deciduous trees around the area this week. I won't be able to get downtown to capture the season this week but here'a an image from December 3rd last year showing the Seaholm Development and the western end of
- [Dallas Interchange](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2024/12/12/dallas-interchange/) - The skyline of Dallas, Texas seen behind the maze of roads forming the junction of Interstates 30 and 35E. I took this shot on October 7th, 2023 on the night of the annual Cotton Bowl football game between the Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners. That year, as you can tell from the lighting on one
- [Sunset at Factory Butte](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2024/12/11/sunset-at-factory-butte/) - It's time for another foray into the archives after I found and edited several pictures that I had somehow missed when initially processing their shoots. Today's shot is an aerial view of Factory Butte near Hanksville, Utah, that I took during our 2022 NxNW expedition. I think it's pretty fair to say that the 10
- [Lewis Hamilton, USGP 2024](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2024/12/10/lewis-hamilton-usgp-2024/) - After 12 years with Mercedes, we saw Lewis Hamilton's final race in a Silver Arrow last Sunday. He'll be exchanging his black and white driving suits for Ferrari red next season as he chases an 8th driver's world championship title in a new car. Here's a picture of him taken at last October's United States
- [Orange Fog](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2024/12/08/orange-fog/) - The Longhorns' first season in the SEC came to an end last night with a disappointing overtime defeat to the Georgia Bulldogs in Atlanta. It was an exciting game, though, and the season isn't quite over since the team now advances into the national college football playoffs. Here's an image from one of the earlier
- [Hellraisers and Wildcats](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2024/12/06/hellraisers-and-wildcats/) - I'm heading back to the final home game of this season for today's photo. I've taken many photos of the Longhorn Hellraisers over the years but this stands out as my favourite of 2024 and was taken during the Longhorns' game against the University of Kentucky Wildcats on Saturday, November 23rd, 2024. I had positioned

This image has had a bit of judicious Photoshop work thanks to the fact that one of the Longhorn
- [Championship Bound](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2024/12/01/championship-bound/) - After a 13 year hiatus, the Texas Longhorns and Texas A&M Aggies rekindled their historic rivalry this afternoon at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas. The day ended well (for me, anyway) with a Longhorn victory, sealing their place at next Saturday's SEC Championship game in Atlanta. Find all my pictures from the game at
- [Cymbals and Sunglasses](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2024/11/29/cymbals-and-sunglasses/) - Longhorn band sections appear to compete over who can find the most interesting reflective sunglasses for their entire line to wear. The battery has generally been best (in my opinion) with round, golden-tinted glasses but the cymbals had them beaten during the Kentucky game on November 23rd when they were sporting wrap-around visors creating multi-colored
- [Offensive Line](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2024/11/28/offensive-line/) - The Longhorns' game against Kentucky kicked off at 2:30pm which, at this time of year, led to some really interesting light later in the game with pockets of sunshine on the field and shadows behind. This image of the UT offensive line took advantage of one such pocket which highlighted the players beautifully against a
- [Tuba!](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2024/11/27/tuba/) - As a photographer of marching bands, I have to admit to being biased very much in favour of the tuba section. The creative opportunities generated by large areas of circular, reflective brass are fabulous. Here's a shot from last Saturday's game against Kentucky which I staged (sorry - this wasn't entirely spontaneous) to improve on
- [Class Ring](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2024/11/26/class-ring/) - A member of the Longhorn Band shows off his 2025 class ring during the Longhorns' game against the University of Kentucky Wildcats at Texas Memorial Stadium, Austin on Saturday, November 23rd, 2024.

- [Longhorn Battery](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2024/11/25/longhorn-battery/) - Saturday was a glorious day for a football game in Austin and the fact that the Longhorns won against Kentucky made it even better. In my quest to find some different compositions while wandering the band, I played with some low angle shots of the drumline and rather like this composition showing one of the

This panel from Space Shuttle orbiter Columbia was recovered from the debris field in Texas and Louisiana after the disaster on February 1st, 2003 which claimed the lives of all seven crew members.

With SpaceX's 6th Starship/SuperHeavy launch scheduled for this afternoon, a few pictures of space hardware would seem appropriate so here's one from my trip to Florida last March. This shows one of the Rocketdyne F-1 engine nozzles on the Saturn V displayed at the Kennedy

This shot of the downtown Austin skyline reflected in the waters of Lady Bird Lake, taken about half an hour before yesterday's image, was shot from about 10 feet above the water. In this case, the drone allowed me to position a

This is the scene during the first quarter of the Sugar Bowl match on Monday evening with 70,000 fans filling the seats. For anyone interested in the technical details, this image was generated from 20 handheld exposures blended into
- [Longhorns in the Superdome](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2024/01/02/longhorns-in-the-superdome/) - The result wasn't what we had hoped for, the University of Washington Huskies having beaten the Texas Longhorns by 37 points to 31, but the whole weekend in New Orleans at the college football semi-final Sugar Bowl was a fantastic experience! I'm just going through my images from the game itself and here's one of
- [Empty Superdome](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2024/01/01/empty-superdome/) - Happy New Year! I'm in New Orleans this weekend for the Sugar Bowl where I'm covering the UT Longhorn Band. So far, it's been a blast but the big day is today with Texas taking on Washington at 7:45pm tonight. Before then, we have a bunch more rehearsal and some band appearances around the town.

After photographing that scene, I took the drone up
- [Stata Center Abstract, MIT, Boston](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2010/10/15/stata-center-abstract-mit-boston/) - Here's another shot of the fabulous Stata Center at MIT in Boston. Unlike the last image I posted of the building, this is obviously a rather more abstract composition showing one section of the building reflected in a section of highly polished metal cladding another wall. I love the textures in this and the way
- [Colourful Confluence](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/12/28/colourful-confluence/) - Yesterday's image got me in a mood for some more abstracts so here's another one from the Alaska trip last September. This image shows the confluence of a stream of silt-laden meltwater with the clearer ocean water and was taken in Glacier Bay National Park.
- [Blue Berg](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/12/27/blue-berg/) - Glacial ice really is amazingly blue. This small iceberg was floating in front of the face of the South Sawyer Glacier in Alaska during our September visit and shows one of the shades. The deeper in the glacier the ice comes from, the bluer it is with some of the deepest portions being almost indigo
- [Misty Forest, Alaska](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/12/26/misty-forest-alaska/) - As we left Petersburg, Alaska during our cruise last September, the light was amazing. The sky had broken after a day of overcast and showers, and the sun was beginning to pop through and dapple the surrounding forests which, wet from the rain, were swathed in fog. Pretty much everyone was on the port side
- [Best of 2023](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/12/25/best-of-2023/) - The end of the year is right around the corner so it's time for me to search through my 2023 exposures for my favourites taken since January 1st. This year, I got the list down to 15 frames which I'm listing here in chronological order. Glowing Austin In the second week of January, I took
- [Merry Christmas!](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/12/25/merry-christmas-7/) - Wishing Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate the day and best wishes to everyone else! Here's a scene from the House of Representatives chamber of the Texas State Capitol taken last December.
- [Christmas Light Abstract](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/12/24/christmas-light-abstract-2/) - The headquarters of the Pedernales Electric Co-op in Johnson City, Texas is a favourite location for a visit during the Christmas season since they fill every tree on the block surrounding the office building with lights. Here's an abstract image, taken by deliberately moving the camera during a long exposure, I took there back in
- [Caswell House Staircase and Tree](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/12/23/caswell-house-staircase-and-tree/) - The staircase and decorations in the foyer of Austin Junior Forum's Caswell House as seen during their annual "Christmas at the Caswell House" event back in November 2010.
- [House Chamber at Christmas](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/12/22/house-chamber-at-christmas/) - I have a bunch of Christmas-themed images in my photoblog queue so let's post a few of them this week. This is an image I took back in 2011 while having a photowalk in the Texas State Capitol and shows the House of Representatives chamber and its Christmas tree. I went back and reprocessed the
- [Well, Hello!](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/12/21/well-hello/) - We'll stay with Alaskan wildlife today. Here's a sea otter that popped its head up to say hello then smiled at our boat as we cruised past it in Glacier Bay National Park on September 12th, 2023.
- [Bald Eagle, Sitka](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/12/20/bald-eagle-sitka/) - We saw many bald eagles in Alaska last September but most were some distance away and not easy to get a good, close image of. During our visit to the Alaska Raptor Center in Sitka, however, this wasn't a problem. Here's an image of one of the residents taken in low light with a long
- [MoPOP Curves](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/12/19/mopop-curves/) - I just love the ripples and curves of the cladding on Frank Gehry's buildings. This is part of the exterior of Seattle's Museum of Popular Culture (previously known as the EMP, "Experience Music Project and Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame", founded by Microsoft's Paul Allen) which can be found at the end of
- [Hillside Home, Vermont](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/12/18/hillside-home-vermont/) - While flying the Mini 3 Pro near Grandview Farm in Vermont this October, I headed up the hill on the opposite side of the valley and was surprised to find homes dotted among the trees of what looked like an unbroken forest from my vantage point. This red house with its small lake and curving
- [The Espinosa Guys](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/12/17/the-espinosa-guys/) - To complete the set after yesterday's portrait of Marie and Mia, here are the male members of the Espinosa family, (l-r) Max, Manny and Manny Jr., at the same location by Onion Creek in Caliterra, Dripping Springs last Sunday evening.
- [Marie and Mia](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/12/16/marie-and-mia/) - I had the pleasure of making family portraits for some friends last weekend and here's one of my favourite frames showing Marie and Mia by Onion Creek in the Calittera neighborhood of Dripping Springs. Photographer friends will be looking at this saying "he should have used a diffuser on that one" and they would be
- [Space Needle](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/12/15/space-needle-2/) - Let's stay in Seattle today. Here's a tightly-cropped section of the iconic Space Needle taken in fabulous light right before sunset. Despite there being lots to see and do in Seattle, we frequently seem to gravitate towards the monorail trip from downtown to Seattle Center and all the interesting sights on offer in that area.
- [Old Seattle](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/12/14/old-seattle/) - We ended our trip to Alaska and British Columbia last September with a day in Seattle and, while there, we took the rather excellent Seattle Underground tour from Pioneer Square. This shot was taken from an alley into which one of the underground access stairs ascended. While the tour was well worth taking and very
- [Sugar Shack](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/12/13/sugar-shack-2/) - Sugar Shacks, where raw maple sap is boiled down into maple syrup, are scattered across most of Vermont. We stumbled upon this one early one morning towards the beginning of our 2023 NxNW expedition.
- [Seguin Covered Bridge](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/12/12/seguin-covered-bridge/) - I think we've had enough drone images for now so let's head back up to Vermont for today's picture, taken during my October trip with the NxNW group. This is the Seguin Covered Bridge which we discovered while wending our way through random backroads in the area south of Burlington.
- [Interstates in Dallas](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/12/11/interstates-in-dallas/) - This image was taken from a location above the downtown side of the Margaret McDermott Bridge shown in yesterday's picture. In front of the Dallas skyline at dusk, you can see the junction of Interstates 30 and 35E. IH-35E through Dallas is noted as one of the most dangerous sections of road in Texas and,
- [Margaret McDermott Bridge, Dallas](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/12/10/margaret-mcdermott-bridge-dallas/) - A view of the downtown Dallas, Texas skyline with the Margaret McDermott Bridge in the foreground.

- [Glowing Skyline](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/12/07/glowing-skyline/) - I took this image immediately before yesterday's during a drone flight last Sunday from an area just west of the 5th and Lamar Boulevard junction in downtown Austin. The light was just beginning to glow as the sun headed towards the horizon in the late afternoon.
- [Austin from the Station](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/12/06/austin-from-the-station/) - This is another of the sunset drone panoramas I took on Sunday evening. I flew from rather farther west than usual last weekend, giving me an opportunity to include some new locations in the foreground. Here we see Austin's Amtrak station on 3rd Street and some of the industrial units around it with the skyline
- [Austin at Dusk, December 2023](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/12/05/austin-at-dusk-december-2023/) - My favourite time to photograph skylines is about 30 minutes after sunset when the light levels of the deep blue sky nicely match the illumination of the buildings. Here's a panorama of downtown Austin I shot on Sunday about half an hour after yesterday's image.
- [Autumn in Austin](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/12/04/autumn-in-austin/) - I managed to catch autumn in Austin yesterday. Whereas the season lasts a month or so elsewhere, we typically get about 2 or 3 days when all the deciduous trees change color before immediately dropping their leaves. Blink and you miss it. It just so happened that I was downtown at the right time last
- [Too Darned Hot!](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/12/03/too-darned-hot/) - For some reason, this year's Longhorn football home games seemed to be a lot hotter than any other year I've attended. I suspect this is due to the fact that, by some quirk of fate, most of the season's games were afternoon kickoffs (previously night games seemed to be the norm) and the only home

- [Cotton Bowl Fans](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/11/28/cotton-bowl-fans/) - So how 'bout them Longhorns? I'm sure the Longhorn Hellraisers are delighted that Texas made it to the Big 12 Championship game this weekend in Arlington. Here are some of their members celebrating a Texas touchdown during the October 7th Red River Rivalry game against the Oklahoma Sooners at Dallas's Cotton Bowl.
- [Wooden Barn, Vermont](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/11/27/wooden-barn-vermont/) - I'm back in Vermont today with this image taken on October 14th during our NxNW trip.

- [Cooper, Downtown](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/11/26/cooper-downtown/) - We're home from our Thanksgiving break now and I spent last night putting the finishing touches to some senior portraits I took for Cooper Lane downtown a couple of weeks ago. Here's one of my favourites from the session, taken on the Pfluger Pedestrian Bridge with the city skyline in the background.
- [Trestle Pattern](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/11/25/trestle-pattern/) - Here's a somewhat more abstract view of the trestle bridge outside the Santa Fe house were were staying in during Thanksgiving week.
- [Trestle Bridge, Santa Fe](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/11/24/trestle-bridge-santa-fe/) - I've done very little photography this week but did manage to spend half an hour or so yesterday morning exploring around the Vrbo we're staying in (which I strongly recommend - amazing views, very interesting architecture, great location, very reasonable price). The railway from Santa Fe to Lamy travels in the valley in front of
- [Grand View Farm](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/11/23/grand-view-farm/) - Happy Thanksgiving to readers in the USA! Today's picture was taken at the aptly-named Grand View Farm near Stowe, Vermont on October 12th during our 2023 NxNW expedition. The view across the valley here was spectacular and the dramatic sky and lighting really made for some lovely images that afternoon.
- [Bumble Bee](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/11/22/bumble-bee/) - I'm out of town for Thanksgiving this week and haven't been taking many pictures so didn't post for the last few days. I've just realized, however, that I have all the photos from my last three trips on this laptop so I'll continue posting a few of those until I have something new. This picture
- [Mountain Valley Farm](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/11/18/mountain-valley-farm/) - We stumbled upon Mountain Valley Farm near Irasville, Vermont while randomly wandering backroads looking for good leaf colour last month. Its impressive barn and pumpkin lift kept us interested for quite some time before rain coaxed us back into the cars to continue our drive.
- [Bogie Mountain Farm](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/11/17/bogie-mountain-farm/) - A ray of sun breaks through the overcast skies and illuminates Bogie Mountain Farm in East Ryegate, Vermont on October 12th, 2023. We visited this location several times that morning, waiting for a deep fog to burn off and, eventually, at about 11am, our persistence paid off and we got some dramatic lighting.
- [Zodiac in Jackson Passage](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/11/16/zodiac-in-jackson-passage/) - The highlights of our recent Alaska/British Columbia trip were the zodiac tours around remote areas as we traveled the inside passage from Sitka, Alaska through British Columbia to Seattle, Washington. This image shows expedition leader Steve Morello piloting one of the zodiacs in the calm waters of Jackson Passage in northern B.C. on September 18th,
- [B. C. Parliament](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/11/15/b-c-parliament/) - The British Columbia parliament building has pride of place on the waterfront by Victoria harbour on Vancouver Island, Canada. This is an infra-red image taken on September 23rd, 2023.

Between 1840 and 1872, Sitka was the seat of the Russian Orthodox Diocese of North America and St. Michael's was the first Russian Orthodox cathedral
- [Russian Cemetery, Sitka](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/11/13/russian-cemetery-sitka/) - After discovering the Russian Cemetery just a few blocks from our hotel in Sitka, Alaska back in September, I had to go back the next day with my infra-red camera since the scenes cried out for the great, dream-like atmosphere that IR images can create.
- [Flower Seller](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/11/12/flower-seller/) - The flower stalls in Seattle's Pike Place Market are absolutely amazing and the prices were rock-bottom compared to what I would expect to pay in Texas. Here's one of the stall workers surrounded by her wares.
- [Norwegian Sun](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/11/11/norwegian-sun/) - The bridge of Norwegian Cruise Lines ship "Norwegian Sun" seen while it was berthed in Victoria, British Columbia on September 21st, 2023.

The skies were grey and uninteresting that day so I opted for a monochrome, high key treatment and rather like the result.

On the last day of the trip, Bob Lussier and I spent a couple of hours in the picturesque town of Woodstock. The place was gorgeous but extremely crowded resulting in a complete inability to get coffee - all the coffee shops and cafes had lines out
- [Yosemite Coyote](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/11/02/yosemite-coyote/) - Here's another of the long lost Yosemite National Park photos I discovered while wandering through the library a couple of days ago. This coyote was wandering up and down a line of cars in a parking area near Glacier Point, presumably hoping that one of the misguided occupants would throw it something to eat.
- [Tunnel View, Yosemite](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/11/01/tunnel-view-yosemite/) - One of my colleagues visited Yosemite National Park last weekend so I decided to wander through the pictures I took there back in April 2012.

- [Mad River Cacade](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/10/20/mad-river-cacade/) - This is another river view seen while driving Vermont's Route 100 last week. The Mad River forms a waterfall just south of the town of Warren and this cascade can be found just downstream from that.
- [Fall Abstract](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/10/19/fall-abstract/) - It's always fun to try something different and I love playing with intentional camera movement to create weird and wonderful abstract images. Fall colors are especially good for this, especially if you can find a view with a good mixture of different shades against a contrasting background. You can create different kinds of image based
- [Moss Glen Falls](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/10/18/moss-glen-falls/) - Moss Glen Falls is a popular stop for people driving Vermont's picturesque Route 100. They are easily visible from the road itself so no hiking is necessary to take in the view. This image is another great example of the power of the OM-1's image stabilization.

- [Highland Cattle](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/10/17/highland-cattle/) - Maybe I'm biased but there appeared to be many connections between Vermont and Scotland that popped up during last week's trip. First we learned that the quarries in Barre were started by a group of granite miners from Aberdeen, then we bumped into these highland cattle near the town of Addison a couple of days
- [Middle Bridge, Woodstock](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/10/16/middle-bridge-woodstock/) - No collection of Vermont images is complete without at least a few covered bridges so here's one I visited yesterday morning. This is Middle Bridge in the quaint village of Woodstock, which, based on how long I had to wait to get a clear view of the interior, is apparently a very popular place for
- [Red Barn](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/10/14/red-barn-2/) - Vermont is famous for red barns. We found this one while driving back-roads near the town of Waterbury a couple of days ago.

- [Schwabacher Landing, Grand Teton NP](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/07/11/schwabacher-landing-grand-teton-np/) - Staying in my NxNW 2016 archive today, here's another image from Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. This was taken before sunrise at one of the park's most loved viewpoints, Schwabacher Landing. As in yesterday's shot, the still, dawn air set the scene for some gorgeous reflections of the mountains, this time in the Snake
- [Taggart Lake](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/07/10/taggart-lake/) - Time for another dive into the archives. I was looking through some pictures taken in National Parks this morning so thought it would be fun to post a few of those this week. This is a shot taken back in June, 2016 during our NxNW expedition to Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. This particular
- [Long-Allen Bridge](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/07/09/long-allen-bridge/) - We're heading home today after our week in Huntsville. Here's a picture I took on the way up last weekend during an overnight stop in Louisiana. The Long-Allen Bridge, opened in 1933, carries US 79 & 80 across the Red River between Bossier City and Shreveport.
- [Lockheed A-12 Oxcart](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/07/08/lockheed-a-12-oxcart/) - The last of this series of images of the US Space and Rocket Center's A-12 shows the front of the aircraft. The Oxcart is on static display in front of the main visitor entrance to the center.
- [A-12 Exhaust](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/07/07/a-12-exhaust/) - A detail of the rear of the A-12 Oxcart at the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama showing the afterburner exhaust and some control surfaces.
- [Oxcart Fuselage](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/07/06/oxcart-fuselage/) - I did a bit more reading about the A-12 after posting yesterday's image. It was a slightly shorter, slightly faster version of the aircraft that eventually became the SR-71 Blackbird and was codenamed the rather unglamorous "Oxcart". It was operated by the CIA as a surveillance platform in 1967 and 1968. This image shows a
- [A-12 Canopy](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/07/05/a-12-canopy/) - I was delighted to see what I thought was an SR-71 Blackbird in the static display at the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. On closer inspection, however, it seems that this aircraft is actually an A-12, the prototype for the SR-71. Regardless, it looked like a Blackbird and offered some interesting photographic
- [Apollo 16 Command Module](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/07/04/apollo-16-command-module/) - This Apollo command module, nicknamed "Casper" by its crew, was launched on April 16th, 1972 and took Apollo 16 crew John Young (later to command the first Space Shuttle flight), Ken Mattingly, and Charles Duke on an 11 day journey to the moon and back.
- [SRB and Tank](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/07/03/srb-and-tank/) - The nose of a Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) and portion of the external tank as seen at the US Space and Rocket Center, Huntsville, Alabama on July 2nd, 2023.
- [Ron Paulus, NASA Emeritus](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/07/02/ron-paulus-nasa-emeritus/) - We visited the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama this morning and, as a bona-fide space nerd, I had a fantastic time. Usually, I would post some abstract image of flight hardware (and I have a few of those for later in the week) but the best part of today's visit was spending
- [Darcy and Daughter](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/06/30/darcy-and-daughter/) - Darcy and her daughter posed for another portrait during this year's Dripping Springs Pride festival on June 24th, 2023. We took this picture to mimic a very similar one taken back in 2022 that had been featured on the front page of the local newspaper the week before to promote this year's event.

- [Pride DJ](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/06/27/pride-dj/) - You can always guarantee that the music will be great at pride events and that was definitely the case at the Dripping Springs Pride celebration last Saturday. During the afternoon, this DJ (whose name I didn't catch - can anyone help me out?) played all the classic 80s anthems and kept everyone dancing.
- [Rainbow Spirit](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/06/25/rainbow-spirit/) - And now for something completely different! Yesterday was the 3rd annual Pride of Dripping Springs celebration at the Dripping Springs Ranch Park and, once again, it was a thoroughly happy event with a great show of support from the local community. This picture shows one of the event volunteers getting thoroughly into the spirit while

- [Moonscape Sunrise](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/06/24/moonscape-sunrise-2/) - Another of my favourite spots visited during both of our previous NxNW Utah expeditions is Moonscape Overlook (or Skyline View as it is sometimes known) which, as for all the locations we visited, is close to the town of Hanksville. The variety of different terrain visible from this clifftop is incredible - buttes in the
- [Black Spire](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/06/23/black-spire-2/) - This was, undoubtedly, the most surreal location that we visited during last October's NxNW expedition to Utah. This spire sits in the middle of a round, eroded bowl close to Hanksville and feels like something from the surface of an alien planet. The yellow dot in the middle of the picture is Mark Garbowski.
- [Moonscape and the Butte](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/06/22/moonscape-and-the-butte/) - This aerial view was taken a couple of miles from yesterday's location at sunrise the following morning, October 6th, 2022. It shows Factory Butte near Hanksville, Utah in the distance with Moonscape Overlook in the foreground.
- [Plateaux at Dead Horse Point](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/06/08/plateaux-at-dead-horse-point/) - Time for a few more landscape pictures, I think. Here's a view of the layers comprising the opposite canyon wall as seen from Dead Horse Point State Park near Moab, Utah shortly after sunrise on October 3rd, 2022 during our most recent NxNW expedition.

The arena at the Ranch Park is aligned such that the setting sun shines directly through the back doors for about 15 minutes each evening at this time of year, bathing everything
- [Cousins](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/06/01/cousins/) - With a bunch of family members in town last weekend for both my nephew's high school graduation and my sister-in-law's retirement party, we ended up doing photos. Here's one of the results showing four of the cousins (clockwise from top left, Caiden, Josh, Keiran and Drew) posed in front of the iconic Rippy's Feed Store

- [Rodeo Roper](http://www.davewilsonphotography.com/2023/05/30/rodeo-roper/) - One of the contestants in the tie-down roping competition at Sunday's Dripping Springs Rodeo. Lighting inside Dripping Springs Ranch Park is pretty horrible so I seldom post pictures of the roping events because they happen at the far end of the arena and require a long lens. Couple that with the need for a fast
