Since most of these photographs were taken in the southwestern United States, I thought some Spanish guitar music would be appropriate. Would you like to listen to Asturias by Isaac Albeniz? This beautiful midi file is courtesy of guitarist David Lovell.

In ancient Korea, the Hwa Rang Do, a society for young men, pursued Renaissance Personhood in part by visiting famous rivers and mountains. We can foster our own personal spiritual development by observing the beauty that God put into nature and scenery and by acknowledging its Creator.

New! In 2003, the Aspen Fire burned 84,750 acres in the Santa Catalina Mountains near Tucson, Arizona. It destroyed approximately 350 homes, decimating the community of Summerhaven several times over. The trees had been ravaged by years of drought and by a beetle infestation brought on by mismanagement prompted by environmentalists. The news media carried stories of the fire all over the world; someone in New Zealand asked me about it. A total of 900,000 acres burned in Arizona this year. We were not allowed near the fire, but I took pictures as best I could from a distance. When they allow visitors again, I will present photos of the aftermath.

I have photographs of other scenic places in Arizona, but until I have time to put them on this site, you can see some of them on my professional site, Extraplicity.
