The Willow Mansion

The Willows is a 47.5-acre estate purchased by Radnor Township in 1973 from the Zantzinger family. Situated at the end of a long, winding driveway is the beautifully restored three-story mansion. The mansion was built in 1910 for John Sinnott Jr., for his wife, and referred to as Rose Garland. The mansion and 47.5 acres that now make up the park were purchased by Clarence Geist in 1937 as a wedding present for his daughter.

City Life Pano

Aerial panorama of Fishtown neighborhood in Philadelphia on a chilly November Morning. Route 95 appears in the middle of the image. The name "Fishtown" is derived from the area's former role as the center of the shad fishing industry on the Delaware River. The Delaware River is right behind me, I could step in it.

Dueling Rainbows Maui Coast

The morning did not start out well for me as clouds and scattered misty, foggy rain showers settled in along the Maui Coast. I began packing up my equipment the strangest thing happened. Suddenly the blue sky appeared as the sky opened and 2 rainbows formed in front of me.

San Gregorio Beach California - Aerial

This stunning beach is located in San Gregoria California about 10 miles south of Half Moon Bay. The San Gregorio Creek flows down to the beach and pools before creating an exit route through the sand. At times this lagoon will fill most of the cove. This is really cool. Birds can be spotted at this beach. The cliffs offer a nice vantage point for whale watching. Logs and driftwood pile up in places all around the lagoon and along the beach. South of the creek, the beach stretches for over a mile below rugged cliffs behind me. The Spanish explorer Gaspar de Portolà's expedition camped at the beach to rest and treat their sick in 1769, during their (failed) attempt to reach Monterey Bay. They would go on to discover San Francisco Bay instead. Swimming anyone? I would not swim here the surf is rough and full of rip tides.

A Moment Above The Beach

I love the sunny lazy days at the beach. The ocean breeze is wonderful. I like the sound of the ocean as the waves crash against the beach and the call of the seagulls. So I thought to myself how could I capture the feeling in a different way. Here is my perspective of the beach.
