Years ago, I got to experience Upper Antelope Canyon before the crowds—on a small photography tour where tripods were actually allowed. If memory serves, the Navajo guides were true masters of the light, knowing precisely where and when to stand as the sunbeams broke through the canyon. #southwest

There’s nothing quite like exploring the rocky intertidal pools along the Oregon coast at negative tide. Nestled among the mussel beds and kelp are two of the coast’s most iconic inhabitants, Ochre Sea Stars and Green Anemones. #oregon #pacificcoast #sealife #tidepool #cannonbeach #photography

Summer View Yaquina Head Lighthouse Newport, Oregon Standing tall on a massive basalt headland, Yaquina Head Light is a visual masterpiece. Looming 93 feet above the crashing Pacific surf, this iconic black-and-white tower has guided ships since 1873. #oregon #lighthouse #PNW

In October 1906, the four-masted steel barque Peter Iredale ran aground at Fort Stevens, Oregon. During a fierce Pacific storm. Over a century later, its rusted iron skeleton still emerges from the shifting sands of the Graveyard of the Pacific. #oregon #PNW #shipwreck #peteriredale

Green Anemone Cannon Beach Oregon The vibrant green color of the anemone comes from symbiotic algae living within its tissues, though it can appear white or pink if it lacks these algae. They use stinging cells called nematocysts on their tentacles to capture prey. #Oregon #PNW #Cannonbeach

Waterfall Wednesday Crater Lake’s deep blue waters steal the spotlight, but the rim hides lush surprises. Off East Rim Drive sits Vidae Falls—a cascading 100-foot spring-fed waterfall that beautifully contrasts the park’s volcanic rock and high-altitude vistas. #oregon #craterlake #waterfall

Sunshine Troll Fremont Troll Seattle, Washington I paid my respects to Seattle’s most famous resident under the bridge early yesterday morning. I was expecting a little more hostility, but honestly, he was kind enough to give me a nice smile and pose. #seattle #troll #PNW #photography

Good morning to the Fremont Troll! The only resident who can clutch a real VW Beetle in his bare hand and still look like he just needs a massive cup of local coffee. Built in 1990 to clean up a quirky underpass, he’s been strictly monitoring Aurora Bridge traffic ever since. #seattle #pnw #troll

June brings some of the most dramatic and extreme low tides of the entire year to Cannon Beach. Thanks to the alignment of the summer solstice, this month frequently sees significant "minus tides" (or negative tides), where the water recedes well below the average low-water mark. #oregon #lowtide

Mariners Memorial Lighthouse Belanger Park River Rouge, Michigan July 2026 Built in 2003, this three-sided, 35-foot lighthouse was erected to honor the brave mariners who lost their lives on the Great Lakes—including the crew of the legendary SS Edmund Fitzgerald. #michigan #lighthouse

Gordie Howe International Bridge Detroit, Michigan July 10th 2026 At 1.5 miles, the Gordie Howe Bridge is North America's longest cable-stayed span (2,799 ft). Supported by 722-ft towers, its pier-free design protects the Detroit River. #detroit #river #canada #international #gordiehowebridge

In the 1920s, Henry Ford built concrete catenary arches to electrify a 15-mile DT&I Railroad stretch in Michigan. The trains drew so much power they flickered lights across Ford plants. Scrapped in 1930 as too costly, several "Ford-tough" arches still stand today. #history #trains #railroad
