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

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, [...]
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
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
I took this snapshot of the Puente de la Mujer bridge during a recent nighttime stroll through Buenos Aires… click for full size
This might just be my favorite city in the world… so lush, so beautiful, and the friendliest people… click for full size
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

Took a few pictures but [...]

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 :)
It makes me so sad and angry to see the devastation…
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…
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 [...]
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 [...]
