Inspired by the adaptation of Robert Burns’ song for organ by Arvo Part, this was a hike to Mount Taurus on the Hudson river Valley with a hiking meetup group last Sunday in the early AM.

A Walk With Adobe Titans

Adobe started a new meetup group in the Big Apple and they organized a photo walk last Saturday with Tom Hogarty and Bryan O’Neil Hughes. We wondered around 22nd Street dropping by the High line park before heading back to Fotocare to listen to what magical things Adobe CS5 and Lighroom 3 had to offer. I have to say they sound promising.

Offering new views of lower Manhattan, now people can enjoy a few more feet of water front & probably get a chance to walk off those calories they gain from the nearby ice cream factory & famous pizza place!

Tears From The Sky

A hike up the Shawangunks in New Paltz, NY last weekend with Hartford Area Hiking meetup group. What started as a pouring rainy day turned sunny and beautiful as we climbed up along the trails. I chose the name for this post after seeing a few drops under the peak in which it appeared that the sky was crying. It was mother’s day and it seemed that nobody remembered to visit Mother Nature!

The Silent Camera
Always fascinated by the odds of the world we live in, I keep my camera at close range all the time just to capture anything my eyes see and like.
This blog will document journeys to places unknown(to this fella at least) and show you around through his eyes.
My long term goal is to visit all of the 392 national parks in the United States and hopefully many more interesting places.I hope you like how I see our world.
Feel free to send me your shouts & murmurs either by leaving a comment or through the contact page.
Ciao!
More of the same!
