Castle Neuschwanstein

This is a picture I took of the castle Neuschwanstein in Bavarian Germany when I was in the area in 2001. The photo was taken from the "marienbrucke" which is a rope bridge that is in the mountains across from the castle. This castle was the inspiration for the Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland.

The Hoover Dam

This is a picture I took in the summer of 2004 of the Hoover Dam in the Las Vegas area of Nevada. A good portion of the west gets some form of electrical power from the Hoover Dam. At one section of the dam, the time zone moves from mountain to pacific so it is very neat to repeatedly jump across time zones. Most of the power generated from the dam goes to southern California while the rest is split between other western states.

Flora Chloris

Believe it or not this is actually a picture of a flower from a potted plant that was on my front porch. I liked the picture because the flower has a "tropical" feel to it. It is one of the best pictures I have ever taken.
