These pictures show a ruined kasbah (fortress), in Morocco. The use of mud bricks makes them difficult to preserve.
Sahara Desert
One of the best parts of my trip to Morocco was spending a night at a nomad camp in the Sahara Desert, after riding a camel 90 minutes out to the camp. This photo was taken after climbing half-way up a giant sand dune, looking down at the nomad camps. Some of these are families that live in the Sahara, but others are owned by hotels at the dune line, who run the overnight excursions.
Cactus Flower
These cacti were all over parts of Morocco and southern Spain, with beautiful yellow flowers.
Sunset over the Atlantic Ocean
I just returned from a trip to Morocco and Spain, and will be sharing my pictures over the next days and weeks. It was a great trip–beautiful scenery, exciting foreign places! This picture is of sunset over the Atlantic Ocean, right outside the Strait of Gibraltar in southern Spain.
Beachy!
All colors are completely authentic, and not Photoshopped!
Beaches
I’m getting ready to head out on another trip, which will include a day spent at a beach near Tarifa, Spain. These pictures are of beaches in Mexico; I’m excited to compare them to Mediterranean scenes.
Lightning Bolt
I took the photo below out the car window as we were driving through Montana, trying to stay ahead of this storm, and just happened to catch the lightning bolt. I plan to spend some time trying to get some good storm pictures this summer; soon thunderstorm season will be here!
Scottish Fields
Last week I posted a picture of a canola field from northern Minnesota; below is a picture of one in Scotland (and a picturesque stone wall.)
More Sunflowers
I just can’t get over how beautiful and odd a whole field of sunflowers was, and how fun to photograph. I’ve seen some while driving through South Dakota, too–so wonderful!
Lake of the Woods
Lake of the Woods is an impressive sight, just water, stretching off into the distance. It feels like you’re at the top of the world (and technically, the top of Minnesota!)
