However, by the time we got set up, a fog had obscured the entire view below. We waited it out, and it eventually cleared. The best light was gone by then, but I'm still pleased by the resultant images. ... What are sunrises like in your area? Do you get to see them often? . . #FavoritesFriday - one of the elite top photos from 2018
#NoRegrets. We got so lost trying to find one of #NoRegrets. We got so lost trying to find one of our campgrounds in #Norway. In fact, we ended up going through two, 8km tunnels.. in the wrong direction! But everything turned out in the end. Because of our delay, our arrival was timed with this pack of cuties coming down the grassy path. I hopped out of the car, and they were so curious about my big lens that they all stared at me - and it made for the perfect pose for my picture. ...

#NoRegrets. We were out to the #BryceAmphitheater #NoRegrets. We were out to the #BryceAmphitheater early each day and late enough to catch #sunset every evening. Let me tell you, the #Utah desert gets cold fast, especially in the winter. But every moment gazing on that #fantasticallandscape was more than worth a few numb fingers.

#NoRegrets. We drove everywhere in #Norway! It's #NoRegrets. We drove everywhere in #Norway! It's such a #beautifulcountry, and we couldn't help but stop every hundred yards or so to take more photos.

#NoRegrets. Venturing down to the river that runs #NoRegrets. Venturing down to the river that runs in front of #Zion's Watchman, I found I quite liked the view of the closer rock face. While everyone else was focused on the iconic formation, I couldn't help shooting everything in all directions. #ZionNP is too beautiful not to! ...

#NoRegrets. After we arrived in #Norway, we were s #NoRegrets. After we arrived in #Norway, we were stranded for a bit in #Kyrping waiting for a friend's luggage. Fortunately, the spot was spectacularly beautiful, and we had so many #seagulls to keep us company. One even decided to dive-bomb me repeatedly as I walked to the end of the pier. The water there was also perfectly still, so I had fun photographing the mirrored images. ... Have you ever been stuck somewhere because the airline lost your bag?
