Whenever someone visits the Grand Canyon, they try to describe it to others. "It's bigger than it looks in the pictures" is something I have heard many times. … [Read more...] about A Vertical Panorama of the Grand Canyon (Showing the Vastness)

Sunset at the Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA
It's hard to imagine, but I have been to Arizona approximately 15-20 times in my life to visit family in Phoenix and Tucson, but have never visited the Grand Canyon. It always seemed so far away, I guess. That all changed yesterday when Mrs. Jeffsetter and I ventured about 90 minutes north of Flagstaff to visit the Grand Canyon. It is everything you would expect. Vast, … [Read more...] about Sunset at the Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA
Cliffs and Beaches in Fort Bragg, California
We came for the glass beach, but the cliffs were so much more than that. Fields of red succulents were on one side, and yellow flowers on the other. Fort Bragg is a true beauty. Cliffs for miles and miles, beaches down below. It doesn't get much more beautiful than the coast of California. I miss you! … [Read more...] about Cliffs and Beaches in Fort Bragg, California
Scenic Overlook on the Road to Hana, Maui, Hawaii
You really can't do Maui right without driving the famed Road to Hana. The views are incredible from just about every point of view, but I found this one particularly captivating during our August, 2015 visit. … [Read more...] about Scenic Overlook on the Road to Hana, Maui, Hawaii
Our First Look at Mount Aspiring, Wanaka New Zealand
For a week we walked into the town of Wanaka taking the same route. Left out of our flat, right down the road to the lake, right onto the path and within 20 minutes we would be in the city. … [Read more...] about Our First Look at Mount Aspiring, Wanaka New Zealand
A Castle in the Rolling Hills of Barolo, Italy
Finally on solid ground in the United States, and figured I would do a brief post with a picture that just keeps on drawing my attention above all others. We were eating lunch on our way to the castle of Barolo, which conveniently houses the wine museum (where you learn about the history of wine). It takes about 2 years to get your final bill (and pay the bill) in Italy, so … [Read more...] about A Castle in the Rolling Hills of Barolo, Italy
[Photo] Burned Bridges at Sunset in Maui
I'm having trouble finding the mental bandwidth to post today, so I just wanted to share a photo that makes me happy. While staying in Hawaii in July, Mrs. Jeffsetter and I often drove past this boardwalk and animal preserve north of Kihei. Each time we passed, we said we should stop next time. We finally stopped right before sunset and walked along the boardwalk. It was … [Read more...] about [Photo] Burned Bridges at Sunset in Maui

My Morning Walk to Mordor – Queenstown, New Zealand
This morning marked our final day staying at the Hilton Queenstown. I was pretty much chained to my desk the past few days working, so I hardly had the time to explore the area. … [Read more...] about My Morning Walk to Mordor – Queenstown, New Zealand
A Few Beautiful Landscapes of Waiheke Island in New Zealand
Today is a travel day, so I am going to make the post entirely visual. Here are a few photos taken over the weekend on Waiheke Island in New Zealand. Actually, all pictures were taken within about 3 minutes of each other from the same vantage point on the island. It's always amazing how a slightly different angle, or a photo crop can impact the mood of the picture. … [Read more...] about A Few Beautiful Landscapes of Waiheke Island in New Zealand
