Life is adventure, whether going across oceans or across town, and the spirit is quickened with the discovery of new vistas, new people, and new things to learn about.

  

Nubble Lighthouse, Ogunquit, Maine

The lighthouse sits perched on an island of rock just a few hundred yards from Ogunquit's shore.  To resupply, the keeper must launch a boat and row or motor to the mainland.  Stark white, with dark green trim, the lighthouse evokes an austere and proper image of New England.

Market Lady Market Lady

Cleveland's West Side Market is filled with produce stands such as this one.   Fresh fruits and vegetables both common and exotic line the central aisle.   Vendors call out their wares and shout, "Who's Next?"  Shoppers of every nationality and age crowd the walk.  The market has something for everyone.

The Survivor

This lone tree, twisted and shaped by the storms of central New Hampshire, has managed to hold its own on a narrow spit of land reaching out into Lake Sunapee.  Mount Sunapee with ski slopes gouging its flanks, stands guard in the distance.

Grand Teton The Tetons

Rising abruptly from the valley floor, the Tetons tower thousands of feet into the air in a majestic display of beauty.  Seen here from a forest fire access road near Jackson, Wyoming, you can almost smell the clean air and hear the jays squawking as you gaze northward toward Yellowstone.

Cuyahoga Tugs

The Cuyahoga is one of America's shortest rivers, but it serves as a highway for hundreds of freighters and ore boats each year.  Sturdy tugs help mammoth ships negotiate the narrow, twisting course from entrance to the huge steel mills upriver.   The river is spanned by a variety of large bridges which can turn or lift out of the way of approaching ships.
