Bird Photos Page.
August 8, 2010: I attended the Thunder Over Michigan Airshow yesterday and have uploaded some photos to the
Airshow Photos page. The webpage has photos of P51s and B17 bombers
from World War II, F-100 Sabres from the Vietnam War, and modern era F16s and F18s.
July 30, 2010: A webpage of Canyon de Chelly Photos is now up and
ready for viewing. Canyon de Chelly National Monument is located in the northeastern corner of Arizona. The highlights are spectacular
scenery - a thousand foot deep canyon with sheer vertical reddish-brown sandstone walls and also 800 year old Anasazi cliff ruins.

corners region of the american southwest.
July 26, 2010: Beginning August 1, 2010, all proceeds from TheWorldinLight will be donated to charitable organizations and people
in need.
July 3, 2010: Hummingbirds are known to return to nest where they were born. Consequently, once a nesting population is established,
you're certain to see them year after year. My home in Utah has many females that nest there, so I had great photo ops. Check out my
Hummingbird Photos Page.
July 3, 2010: The Butterfly Bush definitely deserves its name. Mine attract butterflies all summer long. The first type of
butterfly that visits my bush in summer is the Painted Lady. I spent one morning taking photos of these and have uploaded them to
a Painted Lady Photos page. Enjoy!
June 13, 2010: During a road trip from Utah to Michigan, I spotted these old classic, unrestored cars just off I-40, along what
was once the famous Route 66. I can't resist taking pictures of old cars, so they're uploaded here:
Unrestored Classic Cars.
April 29, 2010: The artists in the Kayenta community of Ivins, Utah donated their time and effort to create the Desert Rose
Labyrinth and Sculpture Garden. I've posted photos here. I've combined photos of the Desert Rose
sculptures with photos from other locations - most notably the Frederik Meijer Sculpture Garden in Grand Rapids, MI and the
Odette Sculpture Park in Windsor, Canada to create a Sculpture Photos Page.
April 27, 2010: The Bryce Canyon Photos Page has been updated with new photos.

Monument, also in Arizona.

The Toadstools of southern Utah.
August 21, 2009: I've just returned from an all-day visit to the
Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids, MI. The Sculpture Park is loaded with interesting sculptures by famous
sculptors from around the world - claimed to be the finest collection in the midwest. The grounds are nicely landscaped with a stream,
waterfalls, and wetlands that attract wildlife. The Gardens have interesting collections of orchids, cacti, tropical plants, and carnivorous
plants.
August 14, 2009: I've just added some photos of the Detroit Riverwalk to the Detroit page.

Amazon River page.
June 21, 2009: Updated the New Zealand page with additional photos.
June 19, 2009: Way overdue - I have created the site: Roraima Tepui of Venezuela. I climbed this mountain in
2006. The first men to climb it were part of a National Geographic Expedition in the early 1900's. Tepuis are unusual mountains that rise nearly
vertically from the surrounding rolling grasslands of the northern parts of South America. The sheer vertical cliffs make the peaks nearly
totally inaccessible and isolated. Consequently, the flora and fauna atop these tepuis have evolved separately from their surroundings. It's
estimated that up to 50% of species found there are found nowhere else on earth. Just a tad more - Roraima Tepui and the National Geographic
expedition was the basis for a Sir Arthur Conan Doyle novel entitled "The Lost World".
Also long overdue are the photos of the Angkor Temples of Cambodia. These
photos were taken in 2003 with a Minolta X-700 film camera. The film was ruined during processing in Cambodia. The decision to process there
was intended to avoid multiple exposures to airport x-ray machines during a multi-country trip. The film negatives were subsequently scanned and processed
via Photoshop as best I could. I've also uploaded a more general site on Cambodia.
June 18, 2009: I've started a page I'm calling Residential Wildlife. This
page contains photos of an assortment of insects, flowers, and birds I see in the garden around my residential home in Michigan.
I returned home in March after living in Peru for several months. I've added photos of
Arequipa and the
The Colca Canyon - possibly the deepest canyon in the world.
As part of my visit to the Colca Canyon, I took many photos of
Andean Condors
at Cruz del Condor at the edge of the Colca Canyon in Peru. When visiting the Colca Canyon, I spent a couple of days in
Cabanaconde, Peru, and enjoyed the friendliness of these hard-working
people of Quechuan descent. I also visited the city of
Chivay, Peru. Following my visit to the Colca Canyon, I traveled to Cusco,
and from there went to the beautiful and famous Incan ruins of
Machu Picchu in the Andes Mountains.
These sites are meant to give potential visitors an idea of what there is to see and do in these places.
I am also adding a slideshow option for the viewing of the large images on the thumbnails pages. This is being done gradually, on a page-by-page
basis. Photos can now be viewed by using the
cursor rollover function, clicking an image to open the larger version and then stepping through large images one at a time, or using this
slideshow option to view the large images displayed on that page. Enjoy!
I am gradually expanding my
gallery of photos, so please come back often.
I hope you enjoy the new photos on TheWorldinLight
Photographic Gallery.
