My friend Darren and I take two short back-to-back trips to Banff for night photography. During the day, we take some short scenic hikes and photograph some classic Banff scenery.
Hiking in Pembrokeshire, Wales: Manorbier to Tenby
On the last leg of our Pembrokeshire hike, we enjoy beautiful sunny weather. Low tide in the middle of the day reveals stunningly beautiful beaches.
Hiking in Pembrokeshire, Wales: around St. Davids
St. Davids is the birthplace of the patron saint of Wales. Using this historical town as a base, we do several day hikes along the coastal path. Along one of the hikes, a robin lands right in front of me and allows me to photograph it.
Hiking in Pembrokeshire, Wales: Poppit Sands to Goodwick
On the first day of our Pembrokeshire coastal hike, we get blown off-course by a wicked storm, and our luggage fails to show up at our accommodations. The following days brought better hiking conditions. From the coastal path we watch a ferry coming from Ireland pull into port.
Hiking the West Coast Trail: Walbran Creek to Gordon River
On the final leg of our West Coast Trail hike we climb ladders, we cross gullies on slippery logs, and we cross canyons by riding cablecars and by going across suspension bridges.
Hiking the West Coast Trail: Tsusiat Falls to Walbran Creek
On the second leg of our West Coast Trail hike, we feast on freshly caught crab at Nitnat Narrows, and we celebrate our wedding anniversary with a wonderful beach hike in great weather.
Hiking the West Coast Trail: Pachena Bay to Tsusiat Falls
On days one and two of our West Coast trail hike, we walk through rainforest with huge trees and along wave-beaten beaches. I fling Diana’s boot into the Klawana River.
Hiking the Jurassic Coast, UK: West Bay to Lulworth
On the third leg of our Jurassic Coast journey we get soaked in a sudden thunderstorm, we tour the local pubs of Abbotsbury with the town drunk in search of cash, and we watch a lightbulb explode violently in a haunted pub.
Hiking the Jurassic Coast, UK: Seaton to West Bay
In the second part of our Jurassic Coast hike, we walk through a lush jungle, explore paleontology in Lyme Regis, and we get lost in the fog and end up at a tea room near West Bay.
Hiking the Jurassic Coast, UK: Exmouth to Seaton
In part 1 of our Jurassic Coast hike, we walk along cliffs of bright red Triassic sandstone. We stay at a posh Christian retreat, where we secretly pour ourselves a gin-and-tonic for happy hour.
