At the Edge of the World: Acadia National Park, August 2007 Standing atop Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park and seeing the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean before me, I felt as though I was standing at the very edge of the world. We had a great time in Maine. Acadia is a beautiful and enchanting place. Though I think we experienced every type of weather that Maine has to offer except for snow (which I expected at any moment 😉 ). During the morning of our first day, we had very cloudy skies through which the sun occasionally peeked, then it rained, then the skies cleared and it became hot and humid, and finally the fog rolled in. I couldn’t have asked for a better variety of conditions, though it did make capturing the landscape a challenge at times. (via Photos from Robby Edwards)
Lower Falls: Yellowstone National Park, September 2003 A view of the 308 foot plunge of the Lower Falls. This is a scan of the original negative. It was shot on B+W film. My main camera at the time was a 35mm SLR, but we packed my old point and click APS camera with black and white film. (via Photos from Robby Edwards)
Step into the Past: Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site, September 2001 Preserved as the oldest operating trading post on the Navajo Nation, Hubbell Trading Post still serves the surrounding Navajo community. Located on the site are the Trading Post, the Hubbell home and a Visitor Center with a demonstration of Navajo rug weaving. For those who are interested, the parks service has a fascinating paper detailing how the Park Service came to acquire and run an Indian trading post. (via Photos from Robby Edwards)
Navajo Fortress: Canyon de Chelly National Monument, September 2001 This massive stone monolith marks the intersection of Canyon Del Muerto and Black Rock Canyon along the northern rim of Canyon de Chelly National Monument. It is not connected to the remainder of the canyon walls and was used as a refuge from the enemies of the Navajo. (via Photos from Robby Edwards)
Labyrinth: Arches National Park, September 2001 Park rangers provide guided tours of the Fiery Furnace, as it is apparently easy to get disoriented and lost inside this complex of sandstone pinnacles. (via Photos from Robby Edwards)
