Share Album Published May 6, 2019 Carhenge I'm not sure if Carhenge fits in the "Landscapes" category. But if I'm going to include these pictures in my collection, "Landscapes" is a better fit than "Machines". It's a replica of Stonehenge, but built with old cars instead of stones. I figured it was the most interesting place nearby to view the total solar eclipse on August 21, 2017.

Share Album Published May 5, 2019 Hong Kong I took a business trip to Hong Kong. They scheduled it to include a weekend, the idea being that I'd have time to do some sight-seeing. Didn't work out that way, as I worked 18 hour days in their office for most of my stay.

Share Album Published May 5, 2019 Wind Cave National Park Wind Cave National Park is an unobtrusive yet interesting place. Established in 1903 by President Theodore Roosevelt, it was the seventh national park and the first cave to be designated a national park anywhere in the world. The cave is notable for its calcite formations known as boxwork. About 95 percent of the world's discovered boxwork formations are found here. Wind Cave is one of the longest caves in the world with nearly 150 miles of explored cave passageways. Above ground, the park includes the largest remaining natural mixed-grass prairie in the United States. It's also a tough place for us amateurs to get interesting photographs.
