I’ve never been much of a landscape photographer.

My feeble attempts just never seem to match the intent of the maker of those scenes.

That said,  I’ve pulled a few favorites that exist on my computer at this point in time.

This view of the countryside in Switzerland:

This landscape outside my front door at our last military assignment:

This one in which the clouds become the landscape, causing the viewer a bit of imbalance:

The landscape in the woods near my home in Virginia, as spring awakens:

This, from a walk this past week in Kansas:

From a few days ago in Ohio:

And finally, one of my favorite landscape combinations…farmland in Iowa, dominated by windmills:

“The scariest dragons and the fiercest giants

usually turn out to be no more than windmills.”

Because who doesn’t love a Don Quixote quote?
