Clouds Over Dunes
Cape May
September 2009
Still my favorite landscape of one of my favorite escapes. I’ve been trying to recreate this shot with a newer camera for about 10 years without much success so far. The fencing and dunes have drifted dramatically since the creation of this image in 2009.
Lisa and I are looking forward to our annual retreat to Cape May in October.

In this drone video we can retrace the route of the former Boonton Branch of the Morris County Traction Co’s trolley as it crossed Great Bay. Great Bay is now part of the private Lake Arrowhead Community in Denville and lies west of Mountain Lakes.

Thank you to RJ Bose for sparking my curiosity on the former local trolley line!
Exploring Marble Hill Natural Area in Phillipsburg NJ
Following morning real estate appointments in Lopatcong in Warren County I consulted Google Maps and made way to a local natural greenway. This adventure brings me within Marble Hill Natural Resource Area, a section of the Warren Highlands Trail adjacent to the Delaware River.

Lake Arrowhead Dock in Fog
Denville, New Jersey
By using a wide angle interchangeable lens I was able to draw in the foreground greenery to add some embellishing to this image. A good landscape image is all about carefully and knowingly layering the components.
