Waldo's Webspace
Welcome all to my little corner of the internet. This site is basically a photo album of my journeys and travels, the places I have seen, and the people I have met in those places.
Those of you who know me, know also that I travel for a living. Not really where I want to go all the time, but where the folks in the back want to go. Whether that is Jackson Hole, Key Largo, or the omnipresent Teterboro (I went there today...twice), we take them there.
Many places are not exactly photogenic - see Teterboro above - but many are amazing, and I would not have otherwise seen a lot of these places if it were not for the job. I have also been to a couple of amazing airshows. One in Reno was a massive air race, featuring everything from vintage trainers, to amazingly souped up WWII fighters flying in circles at 500 mph 50' off the ground. Really amazing. The other was EAA AirVenture, also known as Oshkosh. The largest assemblage of private and military aircraft in the world. The pictures from that aspect of my life are in the section titled Job.
I also take a trip or two now and then. Actually I go a lot of places pretty often. Some are repeats from the previous year, or even more recently than that. Telluride, snowboarding with Bob Watkins in Utah, and more recently my trip to Prague. The pictures from these many and varied adventures are under the Fun section.
The other two sections are dedicated to some of the most important things in my life. My crazy, fun, varied and frankly massive family is first and foremost. Comprising a growing and evolving group of people that are related through blood and marriage, they are all in some way or another represented in the Family section.
The last section, so far, is the true windmill to my incessant tilting. Down Yonder, otherwise known as my home on the mountain, has been a 7 year saga of ecstasy, frustration, pride, anger, elation, confusion, and mostly overwhelming incompletion. Regardless of these conflicting emotions, that place is where I feel most comfortable. It is a place that I can really call home, more than anywhere else on the planet, and somewhere I miss when I am gone, and am loath to leave when I am there. The photos chronicle many of the steps that were taken to get the structure up and running. Then there are several from the house over the years. Whether it be lush green summer, or the icy grip of winter, the aura surrounding the house is just as appealing. To me at least. And a few special others. Share in the house here.
So enter and wander around in Walden World.
