Windmills in Goldendale, Washington The landscape in Eastern Washington is pretty much just desert or wheat fields. Over the last 5 to 10 years windmills have been popping up everywhere. A wind corridor runs through the hills, so farmers have been leasing out their land for windmills adding a little interest to the landscape.

Daily Photo: California Redwoods
On a drive down the coast of the Pacific Northwest I ended up in the Redwood Forest in Northern California. The size of these trees are amazing and I tried to capture that in this photo.
Daily Photo: Floating Market, Thailand
The floating market is a bit of a tourist trap, but it was still fun to see some of the boats that float around the canals. Most of the boats are trying to see souvenirs, but some sell food—they are the most interesting to watch.
Daily Photo: Colorful La Boca Doorway
La Boca is famous for its colorful buildings. The story is that paint was stolen from ships in the harbor and used to paint the buildings. Since they didn’t know what color they were stealing, they were all different. Whether that is true or not, the colors are beautiful.
Daily Photo: Wat Chedi Luang
Wat Chedi Luang is a ruined chedi, or stupa, in Chiang Mai. The chedi is huge and really cool to walk around. I particularly liked these giant elephants that lined the Southern side. The actually wat in front of the chedi is impressive as well.

Some interesting …
Daily Photo: Statue of Liberty
The Statue of Liberty never ceases to impress. I took this photo on a trip to New York with some friends earlier this year. I’ve been to New York countless times but never actually visited Liberty Island before. The lines are long, but well worth it.
My new photography ebook (it’s free!)
I’ve been to nearly 50 countries, 40 US states, and countless cities in my travels over the years. Through most of those travels, I’ve taken thousands of photography. Usually they just sit on my hard drive. I might post them to Facebook or email them to friends and family. Friends periodically ask for a copy …
Daily Photo: Storm Clouds
I thought this was a beautiful photograph of some storm clouds that threatened us during the Yee Peng Festival. Fortunately, just a few drops fell and the sky cleared.
Daily Photo: Quetzal, Tikal, Guatemala
Quetzals are skittish birds, so it was difficult to get this picture. I had to stay far away from them so they didn’t run. They are very pretty and colorful, so even though the photo is bad you can tell how beautiful they are.
