Trappist Fans I first had this beer while dining at Monk's Cafe ( http://monkscafe.com/ must go if you have never been) in Philadelphia last year. I am a huge fan of Abbey/trappist ales and this is at the top of my list. "Water, pumped up from a depth of 150 meter...

Thanks Bob! They appear deserted due to the fact that it was close to closing time but also the long shutter speeds. People walking by don't "burn" into the exposure as well as stationary objects or bright lights. There were people walking by in those shots, but they were moving quick enough...

Thanks guys! Glad to bring back memories. That's something I strive to do with my photos. Guy, I didn't, but my girlfriend did. She's an archaeologist, was working at Ferry Farm, George Washington's boyhood home in Fredericksburg. We both had an action packed summer and tried to do as many...

Great photos! Looks like a wonderful trip. Your bird is a Cedar Waxwing.

Bald Cypress Don't forget to add the 2 Bald Cypress trees to that list! (one of my favorite trees) There's a video on youtube somewhere.

It's an absolute shame. One of my favorite birding spots down there. Really wild, big stinky (in the best way), old woods. Last May I was down there and there was assorted traffic pulling into the track. I was blown away to see that track sitting in the middle of the woods. I can remember going...

I took these photos at the Fredericksburg Civil War Battlefield in Virginia. I'm living down here for 4 months. This was an overwhelming site. 15,300 candles were lit for each soldier buried in the cemetery. A US Marine would play Taps every 30 minutes and it seemed the world would freeze. Park...
