Our first stop on the Tennessee was an anchorage off Pickwick Lake called Cooper’s Hollow. We’d been by there on our last trips but could never find room. It’s a small inlet, protected by a sand bar with a waterfall on the rock wa…

Tennessee River to Ohio River (May 15 to June 14)
Our first stop on the Tennessee was an anchorage off Pickwick Lake called Cooper’s Hollow. We’d been by there on our last trips but could never find room. It’s a small inlet, protected by a sand bar with a waterfall on the rock wa…
Moody Monday
I have been playing with processing techniques. The latest victim of my experiments is the windjammer Mercantile slipping off into the fog. It’s fun and occasionally rewarding to work over images. Often the process is just a left turn to no…

What to do on a rainy morning? Work the interplay of rain and fog with the R-A-R effect of the mountains. We never knew of scientifically described effect created by mountains. A Post card recipient was kind enough to provide a detailed explanation: Ridge after ridge after ridge . . . Often easy to see and enjoy […]
