Churchill, Manitoba – With Ruins of the Ithaka
Getting this shot was a bit of an accident. The boat in the background – the “Ithaka” - wrecked on the shores of Hudson Bay in 1960, and is something of a Churchill landmark. I was tracking the bear in the bottom right of the photo, snapping away, and didn't even realize I'd captured him with the Ithaka behind him. AND there was another bear in the shot. I can't believe I didn't realize either of these things until a few minutes later, when I was looking through my recent shots. Sometimes things just work out. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle A): 10x8, 14x11, 20x16, 24x20, 30x24, 40x30.

Red Mountain Pass, which is part of the “Million Dollar Highway” between Ouray, and Silverton, Colorado, is simply spectacular. A 2-lane highway that lies in a relatively remote area of the state, it switchbacks back and forth before and after the views of Red Mountain, shown here. There used to be a lot of mining done here, and the abandoned building in the lower, right hand corner is one of many such buildings that remain standing in the region. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 12x8, 18x12, 24x16, 30x20, 36x24, 45x30, 60x40, 72x48.

Stained Glass at Saint Paul's Cathedral
I don't do too much architectural and / or interior photography, but this is something I'd like to do more of, when opportunities present themselves, such as they did while I was attending a show in the Minneapolis / St. Paul region in the summer of 2017. While here, a friend from overseas who at the time lived a few blocks from St. Paul's Cathedral recommended I pay this colossal church a visit, and I did just that. Although it may not have the age of similarly constructed cathedrals in Europe, the feel is remarkably similar. Available in the following sizes: 12x8, 18x12, 24x16, 30x20, 36x24, 45x30, 60x40, 72x48.

Abandoned Building in Big Bend
Try as I might, I was unable to find the name of this building, or any information about it, even though I was able to find it on Google Maps. The drive to Santa Elena Canyon, in Big Bend National Park, goes right by this building, but it is situated on top of a hill, and it is difficult to see. It was dumb luck that allowed me to spot it. I think the thing that makes this picture, for me, is the butte in the background, seen through the “window” of this abandoned building. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 12x8, 18x12, 24x16, 30x20, 36x24, 45x30.
