In 2005 and after 31 years in the brewing industry I chose "Freedom 55" and retired early. This allowed me to follow my passion of scuba diving and travel. I moved out to Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada for 3 years and became a professional scuba instructer.  Shortly after returning from New Zealand in the fall of 2011, I have been having to deal with a couple of non diving related medical issues which has forced me to hang up the mask and fins for a spell. This should give me more time for taking pictures...lol.

"Most people can look back over the years and identify a time and place at which their lives changed significantly. Whether by accident or design, these are the moments when, because of a readiness within us and a collaboration with events occurring around us, we are forced to seriously reappraise ourselves and the conditions under which we live and to make certain choices that will affect the rest of our lives."

Astounding scenery. I don't know about lions, but the sunlight coming through the clouds is nothing short of amazing. Very beautiful image.

I like this shot. The cool grey colors, the moody, ominous sky and the way the highway just falls away from view. And of course the pure emptiness of the place.

A sky that says "Best get to where you're going soon!" Lovely poem you've chosen to caption this, very evocative in metaphors~ Where is it from, I don't recognize it but I can certainly relate to it. Yeah, winter driving is not one of my fav things to do and it does make one think of mortal possibilities. One icy evening several years back it took me a harrowing 5 hrs to drive home from work in Nashville, a distance of 35 miles that normally takes about an hour. Stay safe and warm! =)

I love that song...and it has been some interesting weather lately, hasn't it? We haven't had the snow, but we've had high winds and torrential rains. I hope you weren't driving when you took this!

Great lines & look of impending doom. I'm thinking Sarah Connor driving into the unknown at the end of the movie "Terminator".
