  1. Down the path to Mnajdra Temples at dawn

    We made for a ghostly procession down the path that leads from Hagar Qim Temple to Mnajdra Temple which is a short distance away. It was biting cold and damp on this rugged coastline on the South of the Island of Malta.

  2. And now we wait!

    The press and about 50 members of the public who had bought tickets for the Spring Equinox at Mnajdra Temples in Malta gather at the entrance and wait. It had rained the night before so everyone was worried the clouds would cover the spectacle we had all come to witness.

  3. Inside one of the chambers at Mnajdra Temples

    While we were waiting for the sun to make its appearance on the occasion of the Spring Equinox, I wandered around some of the lower chambers of Mnajdra Temples. Its magnificent megaliths, over 4000 years old, had withstood the test of time and still stood mysteriosly on the rugged cliffside.

  4. Finally the sun's rays shone through

    The moment we had been waiting for arrived. The sun came out from behind the clouds and its rays came through the doorway of Mnajdra Temples, astronomically aligned to mark the two Equinox in March and September as well as the Solstices in June and December.

  5. Climax Spring, Rockcastle County KY.

    Near the top of Rockcastle County's Brushy Creek watershed, Climax Spring water spills over a small waterfall. The bottling plant is nearby, as is a public spigot for local use.

  6. Spring Waking

    This is the Gazebo in Spring Lake, New Jersey. In August, concerts are heard to help celebrate the middle of summer.

  7. Taking in the Spring Air

    As the tempurature warms, more people head out to the boardwalk to catch the fresh sea breeze. This scene from Spring Lake shows one of the boardwalk gazebos.

  8. Matranka Hot Springs

    I don't make it completely clean to the hot springs. Everywhere you look there are bat dumpings and the smell is overwhelming.

  9. Gull Attack!!!

    Seagulls are omnipresent on the Jersey Shore as seen in this image from the beach in Spring Lake. On a windy day at the beach, their acrobatics can be quite entertaining.

  10. Essex & Sussex

    Across from the Boardwalk in Spring Lake is the last of three grand hotels from a bygone era. While the Monmouth Hotel and Warren Hotel fell to the wrecking ball, the Essex and Sussex stands tall and proud.
