Boating is one of the most popular activies at Lake Powell. People come here every summer and throughout the year to water ski, wake board, fish, and to just have a good time. Lake Powell is a spectacular place and definitely worth visiting.

Erosion in Cathedral Gorge has produced some beautiful abstract formations. Close-up this small series of formations looses its sense of scale and could easily be mistaken from some grander.

The classic art deco architecture along Miami Beach is a must-see if you're visiting Miami for the first time or the fifth. There is something just cool about these old hotels and restaurants. The architecture evokes a time gone by, a time that was classy and stylish. Sadly they just don't make buildings like this anymore.

Leading up to the old animal cages are some very steep stairs, dangerously steep in fact. The steps are so narrow it makes walking difficult and with trash littering the steps the problem of walking is all the more complicated. These areas of the old zoo have also been plagued by graffiti and tagging.

Some of the animal cages at the old Los Angeles Zoo have been overgrown by plants.

These cages were once used to house zoo animals when they weren't in their lower habits during regular zoo hours. Today they have become the victims of graffiti and are strewn with trash.

Sharp, pointed formations inside Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico.

This formation must be seen to fully appreciate its grandeur. In summary, it is HUGE. The sheer size of the formation is nothing short of spectacular. Carlsbad Caverns is a place you must visit.

I am Sam. I love to travel, take photos, make pottery, and read books. My photos are a sort of visual journal for me, a way to chronicle where I've been and remember what I've seen. I've got miles to go before I sleep so I must be going...
