Iceberg House
Perito Moreno Glacier, Los Glaciares National Park, Argentina
This guy broke off the glacier and gently floated down the river. Perito Moreno Glacier is unusual in that it is advancing, while most glaciers worldwide are retreating due to global warming.
Birds on Sticks
Milford Sound, New Zealand
Was waiting to board a boat to tour around Milford Sound when I turned around and saw this scene. Wooden pillars rising out of the water provide a perfect perch. The fog was quickly rolling out so I snapped it real quick. A moment later, the fog and all of the magic was gone.
Walls of Dubrovnik

A view back on the city from atop the city walls that run almost 2 km around the city. The walls run from 4 to 6 m thick on the landward side but are much thinner on the seaward side.

The Age of Disclosure
February 4, 2026 | reviews
What begins as a slickly produced series of interviews, with beautifully shot talking heads, polished B-roll of Washington, DC, and seductive camera movements, eventually reveals itself to be a whole lot of talk that doesn’t go anywhere.

November 27, 2025 | travel
Been home for a few weeks, but my eye is still on Japan. I continued to follow the Kyushu Basho, Fukuoka’s sumo tournament, and watched as Aonishiki, the man we affectionately referred to as Jerry Cowlings from Indianapolis, won the tournament. He is in fact a Ukrainian and a rising…
