Island Park, ID, is one of the longest towns that I know of. Despite being labeled as a single location on any map you might read, a number of smaller villages comprise this incorporated community of 280 residents.  Spread across 33 heavily forested miles in the very toe of Idaho’s stubby, easterly boot, a portion of the town sits atop the Island Park Caldera, easily visible from space as one of the planet’s largest. The area-reservoir was developed just outside the caldera’s northern rim, pictured below in the calm of sunset with fall deciduous ablaze. I’ve not explored the area too much, but after nearly an hour of tracking tiny gravel roads on Google Earth, I’m already thinking about next spring…

Today I also want to send out a special thanks to Andrew Gibson, of Magical Places Fine Art and Fine Art Photoblog fame, for his continued support over the past nine months. He has written a number of pieces which highlighted my photography and I am most grateful for his backing. I’ve been featuring his RSS feed in my sidebar for the past few months with links to fantastic interviews and editorials – if you haven’t already, I encourage you to subscribe today!  And for fun, why not have a go with his latest: Fine Art Photographer Spotlight – Cody Redmon

**Site Updates - I’ve decided to start using ‘alt’ and caption tags for my images, and will be going back over time to update all previous posts with this info.  I also added a new site page called Cumulus which is a unique 3D approach to a tag cloud.  The one in my sidebar is near-useless in that you can’t easily distinguish the tags, but this new page (located permanently my header nav) should resolve the issue with an added touch of Adobe Flash.
