#mystopover #iceland #photomerge #Fjaðrárgljúfur

Iceland has some other-worldly landscapes. This is a 7-photo photomerge so to get a sense of the scale, take note of the tiny human near the top of the photo, just right of center.

Zakk Wylde with Ozzy @ Copenhell

@COPENHELL #copenhell #copenhell2018 @OzzyOsbourne #nomoretours @ZakkWyldeBLS

Even though I said I saw Ozzy one last time, there is a chance I may see Ozzy one more time, in a couple months in California. I may even be able to meet him and Zakk. No sense counting chickens (or bats) before their heads have been bitten off.

More cowbell!

More Cowbell!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a cowbell used as a cow bell before going to Switzerland last week. They are all over the place making quite a symphony both in farming towns and the alps.

I wanted to capture the cowbells’ sound which is relatively hard to do with still photography. So I took my first video in years below. Forgive the sloppiness as my video settings were off on several issues (focusing, wind sound reduction, etc.)

Sights and sounds on the Mountain View Trail out of Murren, Switzerland

After shooting the above one of the cows got a bit testy with me. She could have easily killed me, but chose not to, for which I am grateful.
