This limestone quarry in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan used to be one of my favorite swimming spots as a kid, but it’s been closed down and mostly abandoned for the last few years.

New Orleans at Christmas
A nice throwback to Christmas 2014 in New Orleans. The street bands were a nice twist to the typical Christmas music!
Crocodile in the Detroit Zoo
Loved this fun painting at the entrance to the Outback walkabout installation!
Badwater Basin, Death Valley
I visited Death Valley in February of 2014 and was lucky enough to see rain and even a small amount of water accumulation on the ground. The result were flowers erupting in small patches all over the barren looking landscape. My father and I spent more than a day driving though, hiking over, taking photos of and staring in marvel at the engulfing desert all around us.
Day and night on the beach
A tide pool on Myrtle Beach, South Carolina throws off a reflection that’s unsure if it’s day or night.
Old mission bell
The sun glares hot and bright behind a bell in a small Spanish mission in Southern California.
Calsbar Quarry, Gulliver, Michigan
A colorful glimpse into a unique quarry in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. This former limestone quarry was filled almost instantly when miners hit a natural spring. The white limestone gives the water an almost tropical color, while remaining crystal clear to see the sunken buildings, equipment, logs, and wildlife at the bottom (about 20 feet deep when this photo was taken). It used to be one of my favorite swimming places, but was drained in recent years to resume limestone mining.
