Inmate #AZ2403
While standing on the rocks watching a southerly front bare down on La Perouse I couldn’t help but look at the scene unfolding before me and recall a documentary I watched a few years ago about the infamous penitentiary – Alcatraz.
The documentary spoke about the solitude of Alcatraz, the frightening reverberations that thunder and lightning would make through the prison and about the many failed escape attempts.
Whilst it is confirmed that three inmates did escape in 1962 on a small inflatable raft many who know the story would also be aware that, to this day, the FBI have been unable to confirm if they survived their quest or not.
The only inmate to successfully swim to shore was inmate #AZ2403 - John Paul Scott. Unfortunately for him, he was captured shortly after making land.
Did the Anglin brothers and Frank Morris actually escape the island and survive? Who knows! It’s a cool story none-the-less.
I’m undecided if I like this image or not.
In-fact, this was the first image I had shot during the storms that ravished Sydney last week but I have held off posting it until now as I simply didn’t connect with it as well as some of the other images I had shot. Despite that it still tells a great story about magnitude of these storms and the sheer brilliance of the lightning that illuminated our city for those few days.
View large and, as always, thanks for looking!
Descending from the ridge where I took the shot 'Autumn Hues' on Upper Kananaskis Lake, I spotted the island on the right part of the frame almost glowing with color. Putting on a longer zoom lens, I framed it.
Here’s a (slightly cropped) single-frame image of Island Lake in in Canada’s Banff National Park… captured about an hour and a half before sunset.

Staten Island Ferry in the frozen waters of the Henry Hudson River and about to dock unto the South Ferry Terminal in Manhattan, New York.
The small island of Inchgarvie sits in the Firth of Forth, beneath the Forth Rail Bridge.
In the spring of 1879 work started on the island for a proposed bridge over the Forth that was never built. Today you can still see the column of bricks that were built for the bridge. the castle dates from 1490 and was used as a prison in 1519-1671.
In 1779 cannons were mounted here when John Paul Jones threatened the Firth of Forth

Long Island's South Shore - Fire Island Lighthouse.
Wanted to change it up for my next post, so I decided to go with something from a bit closer to home. Pictured here is a view of the Fire Island Light Station, keepers quarters, and lens building shortly before sunset last night.
It was great to be back outside again, especially as it's been raining on & off for the better part of a week now. This turned out to be a perfect night for a quick ride down to the shore... No rain, cooler temperatures, and just enough breaks in the clouds to give evening beach-goers the chance to enjoy a colorful sunset.

"Fire Island Sunset" is an HDR image constructed from 3 separate shots, with a differential of 2 stops between images.
The resulting HDR image was processed using a combination of ACR, Photomatix, and Photoshop (includes the use of Topaz Labs plugins -- Adjust, Clean, Denoise, Glow & Impression).
After a night of wind we are surprised
by the light, how it flutters up from the back of the sea
and leaves us at ease.

Went to walk the river trail, but the woods were too dark. Went to the lake to watch the sunset, but the reflections were more spectacular.
This bone-shaped island with its two white sand beaches, rock formations and pristine waters teeming with diverse marine life is just one of many islands off the coastal town of Bulalacao, Mindoro Oriental province in the Philippines.
Big thanks to Nick Steinberg for leading the way on this trip to shoot the Bay Bridge. I have had this on the list forever a really needed a good image for a recent assignment that I got. The color from the afterglow lasted just long enough to mix in with the blue hour light, and to top it off there was still plenty of orange mixed in the city lights to celebrate the Giants WS victory! Hope you enjoy, let me know what you think!
Burano Island is another “relative” of Venice. The history tells that the name "Burano" created from "Porta Boreana", the northern door of the city... Burano is known for the happily colored houses. The color selection of each house is part of a very specific system originating hundreds of years ago. Locals are required to petition the government if they wish to paint their homes and only certain (albeit, very bright and loud) colors are permitted, but old legend says that fishermen painted their houses to see them from long distance when they were far away for fishing especially during a misty weather. In combination with reflections of houses and boats in a water it makes the views absolutely unforgettable. Burano's main trade is still fishing and island retains an ancient fishing village character looking like an illustration to fairy tale.

Tiny island (more like dead coral bank) located a few km off the coast of Iriomote Island.
Amazing snorkeling point.

Wild Goose Island sits alone in St Mary Lake in Glacier National Park. Probably one of the most photographed locations in the park. Most people shoot from the landing off the road but there is a small path that leads down to the water. It offers a great view.
