I was looking through my archive of photos from 2006 and came across this series of photos taken at the popular climbing area of Cochise Stronghold in Arizona. I had taken them with the intention of creating a panoramic, but never got around to it. Until today: This is the western side of Cochise Stronghold…

I thought about not naming this location because backcountry skiers usually like to keep their “stashes” secret.

Heading back even further in the archives, this photo was taken in March of 1999. You are looking at the Furtwängler Glacier in the summit area of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. The glaciers and icefields on Kilimanjaro have been in significant decline over the past century, particularly in recent years. Check out the following links…

The name of this post represents the approximate distance from Mount Washington in New Hampshire to Camel’s Hump in Vermont (I think it might be 88 miles?). The view from NH to VT just after sunset in September 2001. Photo Details: Nikon SLR camera and Fuji slide film.

Things have been a little quiet around here, but I want to change that. Introducing Photo Of The Day, I’m going to make an attempt to post a new photo every day. It might be a photo from my archive or it could be a photo taken minutes before the post. I’d love to hear…
