Now that I have retired from a retail business in the Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA, I have been able to travel much more easily. I have enjoyed being quite serious about photography since the early 80s, and for a period of time was a professional portrait and wedding photographer. Now I design web pages for a number of businesses in Leavenworth and beyond!

In this site you will find photo galleries that represent some of the special places I have visited lately..... New Zealand (I've been there 10 different times!), Australia (6 times), Tasmania (2 trips). You've find plenty of photo galleries of images taken in the beautiful South West parts of the USA, and here in the Central Washington State and others in the Pacific Northwest. Recently I traveled to both Colorado, and to the European Alps in July 2007. The fall colors here in the Leavenworth, WA area were very exciting and I'm happy to share them with you.
