Saturday night was the better night but it was cloudy here in northern New England. However last night I was able to catch the tail end of the display. Light pollution makes the area along the horizon artificially bright.

Love the Aurora shots! I totally missed that we were supposed to see one Sat night until I woke up to amazing pictures all over social media.

A few from the Carbon River Sunday, the first one requires a rappel in, and the second one is accessed only by kayak. Pretty amazing place.

today on Mt Hood, OR

^Wow...way to get after it! I am just looking at the pic on my phone as well but my eye wants more mountain and less of the featureless sky above the interesting clouds.

Every picture tells a story, somewhere in Argentina with a roll of portra 400

This one's from last fall in the Sawtooths, from the same roll

Outstanding set, Chad!

One of the herding dogs in early morning freezing fog I snapped a quick photo of with the phoneAttachment 182981

The first two days of the holiday weekend have been cloudy and cool in Seattle, but the sun is finally out today! Got in a nice long course swimming workout to get the day started.

I thought thats where it was, I was there for a few days last month. Have some great footage of my son paddling that stretch of river, he was killed in a kayaking accident last year (May).
