Traveling is not just seeing the new; it is also leaving behind. Not
just opening doors; also closing them behind you, never to return.
But the place you have left forever is always there for you to see
whenever you shut your eyes.

These images come from 1995 and afterward, mostly from trips I've
taken. Time permitting, I'll add some more pictures from Egypt, and
some shots from trips to Japan, Washington D.C. and Cape Cod.
You can click on any image for a larger view; the larger pictures
average around 60-80k, so those of you with slow
connections may wish to forego that pleasure.

This is me at a conference in Jackson Hole,
Wyoming, without sunglasses or a cameraman. You get what you pay
for.

Here I am with friends atop one of the great
pylons at the Temple of Habu, near Luxor, Egypt. Just in case you
can't tell, I'm second from the left.

A great thinker and a mindless blockhead...but which is which?

London pictures
In 1998, my friend Jeff Woodside and I took a weekend trip to
London. He'd
already been there, but this was my first trip to Europe, and my
chance to gawk at famous tourist sites like Westminster Abbey and
the British Museum. I had a wonderful time; for an uptight
Anglophile like me, London is a lot more fun than San Francisco.

I'm sporting a foolish grin, somewhere among the government
administrative buildings in London.

Chronicling the events of the day in the pub, a pint of stout at my
side. (Stout is awful stuff, by the way.)

Jeff and I standing in front of the British Museum.

Standing in a British telephone box; this one is purely for laughs.
You're laughing, right?

|
I'm standing on Raleigh's Walk in the Tower of London. Behind me,
perhaps unsurprisingly, is Tower Bridge.
|
|
Standing across the street from the Tower. For those of you who
thought that the Tower of London was actually a tower, surprise!

|
In front of Big Ben. The entrance to Westminster Abbey is immediately to
your right. I can't remember if I was shivering or yawning.
