Storm is Coming

This local guy’s shack was the perfect place to relax in a hammock and enjoy a few cold beers… and a great spot to watch a tropical thunderstorm. click for full size

I’m a Sucker…

…for painterly photos. This is another sunrise shot from my recent Cancun vacation. It has a definitive Monet-ish feel to it :) click for full size

St. Ives

Just got back from a trip to Spain and a brief mini-vacation in St. Ives, Cornwall. I am utterly in love with St. Ives, what a fascinating and charming little spot… I really hope to go back some day. A cute little seaside town with great weather, friendly people, beautiful beaches and vegetation, amazing views, [...]

Bird’s Eye View of Dubai

I took this from the top of the spectacular Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world. It almost feels like looking down from a plane… click for full size

Paris at Night

There’s nothing quite like going for a walk along the Seine at night… Paris is called the “City of Light” for a reason. Here’s a nice view of Pont Neuf with the Eiffel Tower in the background. click for full size

Puente de la Mujer

I took this snapshot of the Puente de la Mujer bridge during a recent nighttime stroll through Buenos Aires… click for full size

Beautiful Rio

This might just be my favorite city in the world… so lush, so beautiful, and the friendliest people… click for full size

Dark Alley

Another shot from Pompeii at night… a dark cobblestone alley… As you can see in the background, today Pompeii is surrounded by modern developments. And that’s part of the reason why about one third of the ruins remains uncovered – they lie beneath today’s developments. click for full size

Pompeii At Night

I had a chance to tour the ruins of Pompeii recently – at night. It was an amazing experience… The darkness created an intense atmosphere that’s hard to describe in words, and it definitely made it easy to imagine what this place must have been like about 2,000 years ago. Took a few pictures but [...]

Don’t Mess With Him

Took this shot of a very serious looking Royal Guard in Copenhagen… He won’t let anybody distract him from protecting Queen Margrethe II of Denmark. click for full size

World Cup Images

The Boston Globe has a wonderful collection of World Cup images half way through the tournament in South Africa. There’s nothing quite like the World Cup, gotta love how millions and millions of people around the globe go crazy every four years :)

A Rough Week for Guatemala

It makes me so sad and angry to see the devastation…

Iceland’s Volcano

The Boston Globe has some more stunning images of the Volcano that shut down Europe’s air space for several days, creating chaos and costing billions of dollars in lost revenue for the airlines. I posted a link to some pictures a few days ago but these are just as spectacular…

The Land of Ticos

Just got back from my short trip to Costa Rica. Even though I didn’t have much time for anything but work, I already miss the place. There’s just something about Latin America… it always feels like home. The people, the air, the food, the music… I wish there had been more time for photography but [...]

Tower Bridge

Here’s a picture of Tower Bridge that I took earlier today. A bit of a snapshot, but I think it turned out nice. I’m going to miss London, I could see myself living here. I need to start packing, gotta catch a plane to California tomorrow morning. Somehow it feels like my life consists of [...]
