Dead tree, Utah


I'm missing my home in Utah. So I'm going to take a quick break from posting European pics. OK?

This tree near the Primrose Overlook on the back side of Mt Timpanogos was likely killed by a lightning strike. I like the color.

Safe in Brussels


Feeling fortunate to be living in a civilized country tonight. Stay safe everyone. November can't come soon enough.

I took a bunch of photos of this ruined castle with different cameras that day. The Minolta SLR was a €45 thrift store find that works perfectly. This was an entry level consumer grade camera in the 90's. But there's no way you'd figure it out from the photos.

Elks Lodge, Eureka UT


The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks is an American fraternal order and charitable organization founded in 1868 in New York City. In mining towns, such organizations were important, because life was tough and men needed a support network when they were toiling far from home.

Busted old fence, Eureka UT


Much as I like strolling the cobblestone streets of Europe, admiring architecture from centuries ago, there's something about the American West that draws me back. Wild. Rugged. Still untamed. Hoping my new mineral exploration venture comes together soon. Want to spend more time there.

Entombment


15th century sculpture in the Collegiate Church of Saint Vincent in Soignies, Belgium. Photo taken while testing a thrift store find camera. My first rangefinder. Seems to work nicely!

Bavarian castles are lovely but I need to swear off them

Went to #Neuschwanstein Castle today. Overrun with tourists. You'd think seasoned travellers like us would know better.
