Welcome to my part of the web dedicated to on-the-go photos written with light from parks my wife Barb and I visit with friends. My goal is to visit each of Pennsylvania's State Parks, and record the light in photographs, and perhaps some thoughts in a blog. This is not likely to find a large following of web surfers, although it will certainly be a good place to find all of the links to PA State Parks. But so is google. This website is likely, then, to serve only one purpose, and that is to remind me, through visual stimuli and the written word, of some of the feelings I experience while roaming through the state parks in Pennsylvania and many other wonderful places on this planet. If you have found your way here, and are still with me, then I hope you can share some of those feelings.

At the top of each main page of the website you will find links that will bring you back here, take you to the PA State Parks page, the other Parks page, and the National Parks page, where you can find links to my photos from all of those magnificent places. The Galleries link will take you to a page of links to all (or most) of the galleries on Parks Photos, except those specific to individual park outings (found through the Chronology Page), and will also include links to galleries I have on other sites.

As implied, in addition to the photos the domain name infers, there will be a blog of some sort where... well, who knows what I'll talk about? To find out, click on the Blah-Blog button. The Links link is to a page that provides links to friends' websites, as well as some charities for you to consider. Click on the "Me" link there and be taken to my Light Writer PIX website that houses all of the other photos I make along the way.

So ParksPhotos is sort of a photo album that's not hard to find, and one which you don't have to lug around to enjoy. Way to go, Humankind, we're making progress! Wouldn't it be ironic to one day learn that we humans always had the ability to communicate all of the same information conveyed on the Internet with merely the use of our brains? Sure would have saved us a lot of time and money, not to mention our accumulating piles of useless machinery. If it is possible, there is probably some near insurmountable obstacle that we collectively must conquer. Something like ridding our selfs of greed, and adopting a giving attitude. Let's go for it!

On most of the excursions I'm accompanied by my wife Barb. She started making some of her own photos, and they really give a great feel of the places we visit, so we set up BarbarasPhotos.com to celebrate her side of our times together.

Although my goal here is to visit each of Pennsylvania's State Parks and capture moments through on-the-go photography, I'll try not to miss an opportunity to do the same at some local and national parks along the way. Please contact me with any suggestions, additions or omissions.
