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

Monsoon Season

My trip to Thailand was right in the middle of monsoon season, so in addition to many hot, sunny days there were a few days with some pretty amazing and dramatic weather – usually announced by clouds like these. I love a nice, heavy, tropical rain on a hot day, everything just seems so lush [...]

Back to Reality

( Travel andVacation )

I’m back from an incredible vacation in Thailand… Possibly one of the best vacations ever. Phuket is a tropical paradise :) Will post some pics soon.

Wine Country

( California andFood andTravel )

I had a wonderful Labor Day weekend in California’s Napa Valley…. This place is so stunningly beautiful, it’s hard to put into words. Rolling hills full of lush grapevines, beautiful wine estates… and a seemingly endless number of wineries offering some of the best wines in the world. I enjoyed lots of great food (much [...]

Interpretations

I was looking through some pictures from my recent vacation in Cancun and decided to give a different twist to a fairly basic shot of the Kukulkan pyramid in Chichen Itza. This is, obviously, not a “literal” interpretation of the scene… but it resonates with what I felt when I saw the pyramid in person. [...]

This and That

I’ve been very busy, and all over the world as usual… went on vacation to Cancun, which was fantastic – had an incredible time with amazing friends. After that went to Budapest, Norway, Denmark… so I’m racking up the frequent flyer miles :) Here’s a somewhat interesting sunrise shot at the beach in Cancun… has [...]

Clouds & Sea

A cloudy day can yield very interesting pictures… When I saw this dramatic contrast between the clouds and sea, I knew it would make an interesting monochrome photo. I like how it turned out :)

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

Grand Canyon

It’s hard to put into words just how impressive the Grand Canyon is…. you have to see it to believe it. This picture doesn’t even do it justice… If you have a chance, make sure to get up early to watch the sun rise over the canyon- it’s an almost spiritual experience. click for full [...]
