“Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.” – The Buddha Siddharta The perigee super moon was on Saturday, and people in all places turned their heads to the sky and paid just a little bit more attention to our own moon that night. The moon looked bigger than normal,…
I woke up to about 6 inches of fresh snow in Laramie (!) and decided to go on a long walk with my dog along the creek in town as the powder was falling. I’ll leave you with this poem to express my morning. Fresh snow can be so beautiful if you can overcome the warmth of…
This photography may look like a nice pleasant sunset out on the plains of Laramie, Wyoming, but photographs don’t capture wind very well (at least not this one!). In Laramie, where the wind is always blowing, my walk across these plains just outside of town was through 40 mph winds that added a significant wind…
We got about 10 inches of fresh beautiful sparkling powder last night. As soon as I heard there was hoar frost in the Laramie Mountains, I immediately walked home from the office, grabbed my snow shoes and pack (which is always packed for moments like this) and headed to the mountains to catch the last few…

As I’m in the last stages of writing my masters thesis on two years of work on the geology and chemistry of the Thermopolis hot springs in central Wyoming, I decided to re-visit some of my field work photos. Sitting here typing in front of the computer made me forget that I am actually studying…

This photo was taken in Yellowstone National Park from a car window and really reminds me of…
Lewis River, originally uploaded by senecacreekphotography. Although winter may seem to be this desolate time full of boring monochrome landscapes, it seems that some national parks are just a total exception to that. Evergreen trees and blue rivers overpower all that white snow and still allow you to see the color that you remember in…
Nature Meets City, originally uploaded by senecacreekphotography. A year ago if you had asked me if I wanted to go take pictures of the downtown of a city I would have told you we should get together to go hiking instead. Typically in my pictures I tend to leave out just about any traces of…
