Боже, Царя храни! (Bozhe, Tsarya Khrani!) means God Save the Tsar, and is the title of the Russian Imperial Anthem, best known to American audiences as one of the themes) along with the Marseillaise, in Tschaikovsky's 1812 Overture. It seemed an appropriate title for this image, the Chapel at Fort Ross (Крѣпость Россъ), the southern-most settlement of Imperial Russia in North America. Now a California State Park, Fort Ross is located along California Highway 1 in Sonoma County, approximately 90 miles north of San Francisco.

Born in Montana, raised in California, I have been holding a camera most of my life. I particularly love photographing the grand landscapes of the Pacific Northwest. Involved in photography all my life--starting out as a model for my father, a terrific photographer in his own right. Got my first Brownie Box Camera as a child, and have never looked back. Got serious when I inherited my father's Kodak 35mm viewfinder camera, then moved on to Single Lens Reflex cameras. Finally joined the digital revolution in the fall of 2006. Today, most of my work is done with a Nikon D810 digital SLR fitted with various Nikkor and Sigma lenses.
