Sunset on Guatemala’s Lake Atitlan
One of the most beautiful lakes you are likely to find anywhere in the world is Lake Atitlan, a remote, deep-water lake in Guatemala that is surrounded by volcanoes and colorful small villages. If you ever have the opportunity to visit Guatemala, don’t miss this special place.

I was visiting the beautiful tiled steps of San Francisco’s 16th Avenue one day when a family that was either about to attend a wedding or just returning from one appeared. In a flash, their daughter, dressed in a fabulous pink dress, raced up the stairs squealing with glee. I was only able to get one shot off before the moment passed. It’s one of my favorite photos.
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Motion.”

If you haven’t been to Mendocino and its beautiful, rugged coastline, you’re missing out on one of California’s best hidden-getaway gems. I get the yearning to visit Mendocino at least every couple of years. Below is a flyover video from my Phantom drone that will give you a sense for how special this place really is:
Fleet Week Airshow in San Francisco
There’s something special about watching military jets at airshows. The powerful rumble of jet engines flying low above your head, the sheer speed, the skill of pilots flying in graceful formation one minute and doing body-crushing aerobatics the next. It was all present on Saturday during Fleet Week in San Francisco. Sitting atop the Pier 39 garage with my Nikon Df and 70-300mm lens, shutter set at 1/1000 sec., I captured the action and enjoyed a perfect day on The Bay.
