Walkabout


When I’ve packed my cameras and headed out of town on a trip, I usually try to find an hour each day -- often at dawn or at sunset, when the photographic light is best -- to get out for a walk to exercise my antsy, fidgety body...and also my eyes.

These walkabouts are a good chance to connect to the place I’m visiting, to watch it wake up with the first light of day, or to see it wind down in the evening.

Last week I traveled to the Midwest and the East Coast. I was out on one of my walks just at dawn when I witnessed the scene above. Another evening I was out for the sunset you see below.

As always, the camera is a trusted companion, helping me to share what I've seen.
