Welcome/Willkommen!
Hello and welcome. Hope you enjoy the images I have posted. Please do not reproduce them without my permission. Most are available as note/greeting cards or as prints/enlargements. Thank you for visiting my site and your comments.
Many have asked about the Header image above, which I named 'Eerie Genny'. It was originally shot with film [taken on the shore of the Genesee River near the Univ. of Rochester]. During the darkroom development, I flashed a light above the tray. The process, known as 'solarization', produces eerie, ghostlike effects; some have mistaken this image as an infra-red photo. Some 35+ years later, I scanned and digitized the print, and did a little modern day editing, and, voila.

Up, up, up and away [Sky Watch Friday]
The title of this may bring to mind [to people of my generation] the radio broadcasts of Superman -- be that as it may, it is fitting for a gas balloon rally. It's nice to look at this and remember that we get beautiful blue skies in upstate NY-- I am hopelessly behind in keeping up with the blogs of others; I apologize for not being more attentive, but cannot promise doing better ---lol-- Go USA Women's Soccer [aka Football]!!!!!!

I love that angle! So often you see the side of the balloon, rather than the underside!
What a lovely sky shot!
My Skywatch, have a nice weekend ahead.
I was thinking more Fifth Dimension with that title!
(and I'm also looking forward to Sunday's final)
simply beautiful composition, send a little of that cloudless brilliant blue sky my way OK?
Brilliant photo Stan!

that is such a perfect shot. lovely colours and excellent composition.
The color and composition makes this image perfect. Very beautiful. Wonderful work as always, Stan.
A nice weekend to you.
What a fun photo! I've always wanted to ride in a hot air balloon, and if I get the chance someday I hope it's in a balloon that pretty against a summer sky that perfect! Such a great capture!
Oh yes, I do remember Up, Up, Up and away.....
This is on my bucket list.
So crystal clear and those colors are magnificent! A new favorite of mine!
Beautifully composed and the colors just POP! This would make a great cover for a travel brochure or one advertising a ballooning event.
Do not worry about being behind with visits as we are all at "that place" from time to time...
Enjoy your weekend!
