Different realm

  Sometimes you find yourself in certain places that don't seem to be of this world. This picture of sunset is one of those for me. The water was almost glass, misty fog rolling in. Seemed to be a place far away, calm and serene. An abyss of color and light. Moments like this almost always seem to bring internal reflections. Then just as soon as it came, it's gone. The noises that you somehow didn't notice around you slip back slowly. A boat cutting the water, a barking sea lion, a distant car radio. Your piece of mind distracted once again by things. But how great it is to be able to experience moments like these! Just looking at this picture I can feel my lungs fill deeper with air....

Zen and Color.

Winter Sunsets

It may be getting colder, and the sunsets closer to the afternoon. Remember there is still plenty of beauty to see. Crisp winter sun.

Tropical Dreams

 Just returned from Hawaii. Here are a few pictures (more on the way)of some of the things seen and done. All I can say is I love that place. Friends, waves, surf and sun. This morning it seemed like some kind of lucid long dream than a reality that had happened. So much so that I found most of my thoughts today to be ending about still being there with my wife, on the beach, with the warm breeze,just the sound of waves,palm trees and the taste of salt on the lips.

Alki Races

Been a little while since I've posted lately. Busy summer. Lots of racing, lots of training. Put together this quick vid of the race at Alki. Great weather, glassy fast conditions. More posts will be on the way when things slow down a bit.
