Old Key West

WDW in B&W – WBW04
Old Key West Resort, Walt Disney World

I suppose I should give everyone a warning now… I am 26 days away from a vacation to Florida so my posts until I leave might be overwhelmed with images of Disney or the Florida coast. I am also going through my Disney directories, collecting and/or creating a series of black & white images in the hopes of making a book as a personal project. I’ll try not to be too obnoxious about it. 🙂

In March 2014 I broke out of a rut and booked a stay at the Old Key West resort. It is the first vacation club resort created by Disney and I had always read great reviews. Other than being very spread out and requiring transportation within the resort I enjoyed my stay a lot. As with every Disney resort there were plenty of opportunities for me to capture great images. These are a few of the ‘keepers’ which I thought worked well as B&W images.

Trenton Falls Scenic Trail

Posted by Mike on September 18, 2016

Trenton Falls, NY

Twice a year the Trenton Falls Scenic Trail is open to the public. I missed the opening in the spring when the water level was higher and I almost missed this weekend’s opening but was lucky enough to spot the event by accident on FB. The conditions were almost ideal, an overcast day with minimal wind. I would have loved it more if it was opened sometime in October so the leaves would have been more colorful. Maybe next year…
