Upper Falls of Sabbaday Falls in New Hampshire
Getting through the winter months around Tokyo is kind of tough for me. The area doesn’t see a lot of snow as it is, and even when it does, it’s not typically very much and doesn’t stick around for long. Mostly things are just cold and dead, waiting for the revival of spring. To be fair, spring brings the cherry blossoms which is well worth the wait, but it’s still tough to sit around so...
Two Stones of the Highland – Lightroom Only
This is a photo I took back in August along Highland Lake in New Hampshire. I’ve shared a couple of photos I took on this evening, but this photo I edited totally in Lightroom.

However, it’s common during these trips to stumble across an eye-catching scene that wasn’t on my list. When this happens, even though I sense something interesting, I may not immediately be aware of what it is exactly,...
