Full tank. Wandering heart.
What I knew of Iceland before I left was that it was a naturally rugged and raw, beautiful place. For about a year now it has been dancing on my subconscious as place I must visit soon. Life has a funny habit of passing you by in a blink so when opportunity knocked on my email box this past March I thought it best to take the leap. And with that, off we went in to the red sunrise…
Photographs from a day trip to Thingvellir National Park during our visit to Iceland in April 2009.
I was surprised to see a very large population of motorcycle riders around Reykjavik. It really drove home the idea that people are the same everywhere. Squids, crusty old pirates, adventure guys… all the usual suspects, just waaaaaaay up north. The Reykjavik police have it good, wouldn’t you say? Check out one of their FJRs:
We just returned from our vacation in Iceland last night. Pics and words to follow soon. Stay tuned!
Sequoia National Park in June of 2008 was the first time that I’d ever laid eyes on what it really means to see a big tree. They’re so huge that it’s quite difficult to capture them in pictures because you can’t actually get the whole tree into the frame and then on top of that you don’t have much to compare to size-wise if you do.
In some ways you don’t really know the value of your travels until they are left behind in the clouds of dust that swirl around in your memory. My trip to California in June...

Found in Redding, California the Sundial Bridge is a pedestrian footbridge built by Santiago Calatrava. Seeing this was one of the daliances that I had when we were riding in California. You wouldn’t think that riding would help to feed my love of art and architecture, but so far its been a nice way to get out and see things 🙂
Yes, I know that none of these pictures are very good, but for me they are serving a purpose. After witnessing such an awful event in losing Michael and Cindy last week I felt...
Photogrpaphs from stopping in to check out the Nickwackett Garage in Pittsford Vermont
Though it may be difficult to read in the photo I’ve posted, this is the Lord’s Prayer (the unabridged version) chiseled into a rock. I guess my trip to Vermont over the weekend was...
As I was riding along near Salisbury, Vermont I rather unexpectedly passed this giant gorilla holding a Volkswagon Beetle.
On the way up to Vermont this weekend, we stopped off to visit the Tin Man of Goshen, Massachusetts and to check out the Three Sisters Garden right next door.
Found in Bakersfield California, this Indian-style Muffler Man stands tall and proud.

Its seems kind of funny to see a picture of myself actually riding. When I’m on the bike, I’m so engrossed with what is going on inside my helmet that I don’t generally consider...
The story of my first encounter with a bear in the wild, on a motorcycle.
Tonight I said to Kenny, ‘When do we leave for California?’ I swear, it already seems like it was 5 years ago that we were there and I haven’t even been home for a...
