I was in Savannah Georgia for a quick trip and drove out past the city looking for some countryside. There’s quite a lot of that in the US that’s worth photographing by the way. Not that I think anybody would disagree with that. I just get a lot more love for the international photos than I do for anything from …
Piper & the Maiden
Another scene from the Porter Sculpture Garden in South Dakota where this metal sculpture and others are made by hand from scrap metal by Ron Porter. This is the Piper and the Maiden.

I stopped at Nepenthe in Big Sur to get some dinner and rest for a bit, then I walked out towards …
