The Groveton bridge was built over the Ammonoosue River in 1852 by Captain Charles Richardson and his son. To me it look like a place for a wedding.

The Fisher Railroad bridge is located in Wolcott, Vermont. It was built in 1908 and carried the St. Johnsbury & Lamoille County Railroad over the Lamoille River while it was in use. It is one of two Railroad bridges in Vermont.
It was raining so hard when I shot this picture that you can see the raindrops if you look closely.

The Stark Covered Bridge spans the Upper Ammonoosuc River and dates back to 1857 or 1862. It is one of my favorite bridges in New Hampshire.
The day my brother I chose to shoot the covered bridges of New Hampshire, it rained all day. Not to be deterred, we decided to shoot anyway. It was that day I learned that some of the best pictures are taken in the worst of times. All the rain provided a wet pavement that reflected the Stark Union Church which was built in 1853.

In Brussels I found the “perfect pharmacy”, a Belgian chocolate store, with a window full of vitamin C! This will lift your spirits and satisfy your chocolate cravings in a hurry. I need to go refill my prescription!

This small hilltop chapel has a bright light. I ran across it while driving on the Trans-Canada Highway several years ago. I was first attracted to it’s architectural design but now its position and light.
“You are the light of the world.
A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.”

For years this building housed the John Geist & Sons Forges. But as long I could remember a lawn mower repair service was there. Whenever I drove by, I would see old and relatively lawn mowers of every make and type lining along the sidewalk.
One evening I passed by and the lawnmowers were gone. The sidewalk was bare. The doors were locked and the windows were shut. The business was closed. Not just for the night, but for good. The realtor’s sign announced that the building was up for sale.
I just had to take a picture. Why? The golden hues of the setting sun across the red bricks signaled the end of a day, and the close of a business. Two generations made a living here, what will the next owner do here?

This was the final sunset of 2014 as seen from Alexander Park. I am thankful for the blessings of 2014, but look forward to 2015.

Each time I have been to Seattle the weather has prevented me from photographing Mt. Rainier. Once when I was flying back to the East Coast I looked out of my window just in time to see Mt Rainier pushing its way up through the clouds. Glad to be in a window seat and have a clean window for a change, I grabbed my wife’s camera and made this image. Sometimes the best pictures come after we think all hope is gone.

This swing beside a dirt path in the woods reminds me that we often need a quiet place where we can think, play, relax, and just be by ourselves for awhile.
It reminds me of a Ralph Carmichael song that I learned to love years ago . . .
There is a quiet place
far from the rapid pace
where God can soothe my troubled mind.
Sheltered by tree and flower
there in my quiet hour with him
my cares are left behind.
Whether a garden small,
or on a mountain tall
new strength and courage there I find,
and then from that quiet place
I go prepared to face a new day
with love for all mankind
Swing beside quiet path
