This is a shot of the world famous Old Faithful geyser in Yellowstone National Park, which is named due to the regularity of its eruptions, approximately every 90 minutes. 4 to 8 thousand gallons of boiling water shooting up over 100 feet in the cold air makes for an awesome sight.

I really liked this formal Indian Tomahawk for its intricate design. This piece was used ceremonially.

I caught this shot of the Vette at Bristol Hill overlooking the southern end of Canandaigua Lake. The clouds were catching the red glow of the setting sun very nicely I thought.

This is part of the landing gear assembly of American Airline Flight 11, which hit the North Tower of the World Trade Center, starting the infamous 9/11 attack. This piece was recovered about two blocks away.

These valve covers of a BMW1200GS caught my eye in a parking lot, with the sun's lighting making for cool highlights in the casting.

Black cars are difficult to keep clean, but when they are, they look fabulous, like this nice Mustang.

I was really impressed with the intricate beauty of this traditional Indian ceremonial robe. I have only the top part in sharp focus, since at f/1.8 and 1/10 seconds hand-held exposure, I did not have a deeper DoF.

Compare the detail of the Indian robe above with the simple, yet elegant handiwork of these items for everyday use, made from dried corn leftovers. The native Indian culture was sustainable in the truest sense of the word, and could teach the modern world a lot about conservation.
