Using Nikon cameras, I enjoy taking photos of whatever catches my eye. Most recently, I have had an avid interest in wet plate collodion photography, especially tintypes.

Recently had the opportunity to visit the Western Wall.

Western Wall, Hebrew Ha-Kotel Ha-Maʿaravi, also called Wailing Wall, in the Old City of Jerusalem, a place of prayer and pilgrimage sacred to the Jewish people. It is the only remains of the Second Temple of Jerusalem, held to be uniquely holy by the ancient Jews and destroyed by the Romans in 70 CE. The authenticity of the Western Wall has been confirmed by tradition, history, and archaeological research; the wall dates from about the 2nd century BCE, though its upper sections were added at a later date.

Ponce de Leon Springs State Park

From a recent visit to Ponce de Leon Springs this beautiful spring is named for Juan Ponce de León, who led the first Spanish expedition to Florida in 1513 – as legend has it – in search of the “fountain of youth.”

Ponce de Leon Springs’ water temperature remains a constant 68 degrees Fahrenheit year-round. The main spring is a convergence of two underground water flows, and produces 14 million gallons of water daily.
