The Marina City towers are my favorite buildings in Chicago. I always wondered what it would be like to live there, and in my imagination, it was something like in The Jetsons. This piece provides more detail of one tower up close and displays the promenade on a clear fall day, but doesn’t allow the viewer to forget that there is a twin. Marina City in Chicago
Galway, Ireland is the major city in one of the two areas I consider to be my “ancestral homelands” (the other being the area around Naples, Italy), and it was a pleasure to visit. During what passes for a summer day there, I visited the harbor and beach in cool, breezy weather that changed from showery to cloudy to sunny multiple times. During a brief sunny spell, I captured an image that seemed almost Caribbean! Almost Tropical at Grattan Beach in Galway
Taken after I ascended to the observation balcony of the Galata Tower, “Magnificent Istanbul” displays just a piece of The Queen of Cities’ visual grandeur. In the foreground, the Galata Bridge spans the Golden Horn, the major inlet of the Bosphorus. Across the bridge, the Yeni Cami Mosque stands prominently, while the Nuruosmaniye Mosque looms directly behind it. Magnificent Istanbul
My family often vacationed in Ortley Beach at the Jersey Shore, during September, just after Labor Day. The season was ideal, much calmer and less crowded. One particular September evening after sunset, we were treated to the full Harvest Moon rising over the ocean. The lighting and shadows in this piece give it the feel of a painting.

I’ve traveled to Hong Kong over a dozen times and lived there one summer. The city’s modern architecture is legendary, though frequently shrouded in smog. This photograph captures the IFC2 tower on the Kowloon side, undimmed by the smog and glowing in the sunlight, reflecting light into Victoria Harbor and the Star Ferry terminal. It stands out as a beacon of light amidst the haze. https://indigoartistic.com/product/ifc2-a-beacon-of-light-in-hong-kong-amidst-the haze

The beach at Ipanema is one of my favorite spots in Rio de Janeiro. From my hotel room, I enjoyed this exquisite view of three of the city’s iconic locations – the magnificent beaches of Ipanema and Leblon, and the monumental Morro Dois Irmaos (Two Brothers’ Hill).

A friend and former colleague from Chongqing, China took a day to show me his city. One of the highlights was this view of the Hongyadong Commercial Street at night, framed by Qiansimen Bridge and the World Financial Center, with the Jiefangbei office towers in the background. All of their lights sparkled and reflected in the Jialing River just before it empties into the mighty Yangtze. Chongqing City Lights at Night
