ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL SUNSET IN ANTIGUA


I've been flying to Antigua quite a bit lately, so I've had the opportunity to take some photos of stunning sunsets. Here's one I took last week. The clouds rise majestically in the background, almost like they're on fire. Incredible!

SUNSPOTS!!!


During a recent trip to Antigua (ANU), I took several photos of an incredible sunset. After reviewing several of the photos, I was stunned to find out that there were several "sunspots" showing in the lower right hand corner of the sun!!! I've never seen sunspots in any of my photos before, so I reviewed the shots again to be sure. I also had a friend check them and that was the first thing he noticed!!! So now I've actually captured something NEW! Pretty cool!

BEAUTIFUL SUNSET ARRIVAL


Here's a nice photo I took a few weeks ago when arriving in the Newark (EWR), NJ, area. The setting sun, the haze, the thin cloud layer, and the snow on the ground all made for a nice shot! Off to Antigua tomorrow!

KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BUG!!!


During my recent trip to Antigua (ANU), I snapped a photo of this hungry lizard who seemed in a trance as he watched small insects flying around him. It was fun to watch him barely move his neck as he tried to keep honed in on those pesky "meals". Then he'd lunge for one and go back to his "trance" position while waiting for another.

SHUTTLE CONTRAIL!!!!


Even though I missed a spectacular shuttle launch yesterday, I was able to take a photo of the high altitude contrail it left two and a half hours earlier. Our flight out of Newark departed over an hour late, otherwise this shot would have been a lot more spectacular, but nevertheless, it's still a neat shot. Sorry I haven't posted for a while, but work has been unusually hectic!
