Mt Washington. From my film days about 10 years ago.

At the Pinnacle of Choice To climb the mountain requires a certain amount of fortitude and some experience in mountaineering is a plus. At the very least someone with this knowledge should accompany you. Proper clothing and equipment for the season is a must. Winter you will want ice axes, picks, crampons, snow shoes, rope just to name a few…

Alaska Part 3

Kayaking in Prince William Sound. Yong & I hired a guide to help us explore the coves, waterfalls, glacier views, and the unmatched beauty of this wilderness. If you know me and my history with watercraft you will understand why we chose a guide rather than go off on our own. Nuff said! Glacier freshwater runoff provides necessary nutrients to sustain marine life. More than 1 type of porpoise…

To the island of Seldovia. Along the way is Gull Island about twenty minutes from Homer Spit where we departed from. Gull Island is a huge rock with craggy faces and cliffs.

“Soliloquoy”  He was there alone with himself, collected, tranquil, adoring, comparing the serenity of his heart with the serenity of the skies, moved in the darkness by the visible splendors of the constellations, and the invisible splendor of God, opening his soul to the thoughts which fall from the Unknown. In such moments, offering up his heart at the hour when the flowers of night inhale their perfume, lighted like a lamp in the center of the starry night, expanding his soul in ecstasy in the midst of the universal radiance of creation, he could not himself perhaps have told what was passing in his own mind; he felt something depart from him, and something descend upon him, mysterious interchanges of the depths of the soul with the depths of the universe. Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

Ravello Italy to Minori Italy

As always, I appreciate your views, comments and support. It means a lot. Thank you!

1700 to 2000 steps, but who’s counting! Beautiful views await as you make your way down to the small town of Minori and its beach. As part of the Amalfi Coastline all views are simply breathtaking. One benefit to hiking is you get to avoid the white-knuckle hairpin curves and roads that seem too small to accommodate daring drivers and tourist buses that make the roads seem even smaller. The…
