The World's Most Beautiful Places
Steam billows from a coal-fired fossil fuel power plant in Alaska on a cold sub-zero night in the middle of winter. Located along the Chena River, in Fairbanks, which is located in the North Star Borough, the Interior part of the state and in many ways the coldest, especially as you head north toward the Arctic Circle a few hundred miles away.
The Sneffels Range near the Dallas Divide with fall colors in full swing. The Sneffels Range is a branch of the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado. The best views of the range are off of Highway 62 between Ridgway and Placerville. Much of the land on the south side of this road is owned by the Double RL Ranch. RL is short for the famous clothes designer Ralph Lauren. Several public dirt roads pass through the ranch heading toward mountain range. They include routes 5, 7 and 9. Be respectful of private property. Parking along the edge of the road and photographing wasn’t a problem for me, but on each of these roads, you generally won’t reach the Forest Service boundary until the end.
A field of American flags flying on a warm summer day in West Jordan, Utah. This was a celebration of VE-day (Victory in Europe Day during World War 2 (WWII). But it could just as easily have been from Memorial Day or Veterans Day. A common sight across the United States on those special days when we honor the sacrifice of military veterans during their service in war and peace.
