The well-equipped traveler is ready for his long-haul flight. Next stop Amsterdam. Then Glasgow. #ReturnToTheWell

When I got to Nashville Int’l Airport this morning, the place was practically empty. No line at the Delta Desk to check in my bag; no line at the TSA checkpoint, and then it turned out I was somehow “TSA Pre-checked,” so I didn’t have to take off my shoes or belt. The whole experience had a certain “Twilight Zone” quality to it, like I’d entered some alternate travel universe.
And it wasn’t just BNA… the whole trip went very smootly (writing from Glasgow now).
Arrival @Fly_Nashville. Where is everybody?? Easiest check-in EVER. #ReturnToTheWell
I will be returning to the UK in search of more “Portals of Stone” – Arrive @Glasgow Weds 10/8. Send destination suggestions to [email protected] . I’ll be the guy with the camera…
Sunrise… sunset… rinse and repeat…

Ann and I took a few days to drive down to the Gulf Coast, a marshy little island called Cedar Key, Florida. We got there just in time to drop our bags at our AirBnB and catch this sunset…

One of the better samples from a long running series I keep swearing I’m going to create called “It Ran When I Parked It.”
We saw this abandoned late-40s GMC truck in a field near Taos, New Mexico in August of 2006. There’s a good story about why we were in Taos that summer. It has something to do with the unfinished biography of T. Townsend Brown… an important meeting that turned into an ambush / gangbang / fiasco. I probably should have taken the hint and walked away from the project then but… nooooo…..
At least I got a cool photo out of the experience. The color treatment was devised as part of a print-making class at Nashville State Community. Need to make more like this…

I have been experimenting with some new software that lets me take the hard, realistic quality of a photographic and render it into something a bit softer and more impressionistic – like, in this case, a watercolor painting.
This is image is based on one of the photos I shot as we approached Urquhart Castle, an enormous medieval ruin on the shores of Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. The original photo is here. <
I like this one better (the cropping helps, too). Yesterday I couldn’t spell “artist” and today I are one…

Another frame from Scotland in October 2012.
One of the big attractions in the Scottish Highlands is a day-long excursion aboard the Jacobite Steam Train – a vintage steam engine pulling visitor-laden passenger cars through some of the most dramatic scenery in Europe. These days the highlight of the trip is passing over a bridge called the Glenfinnan Viaduct – which is a bridge that the Hogwards Express goes over in some of the Harry Potter movies. The trip is sorta marketed now as a ride on the Hogwarts Express – which of course, it isn’t, but it’s fun to pretend.
And, of course, in the movie, the train if filmed from a helicopter flying over the viaduct as the train goes over. It’s a lot hard to get a decent shot when you’re actually ON the train. About the best you can do is put your arm out the window and fire away…
More from the Jacobite Steam Train here..
