Walking back to my hotel after dinner on the Left Bank with friends, the sun was setting late on a warm May evening. I stopped on Pont Louis-Phillippe to enjoy the sunset, and to watch the revelers on riverboats doing the same. Sunset Cruisers on the Seine in Paris

I have not posted for a period of time, as I was busy traveling and photographing! My first piece from this recent trip is “Grand Canal of Trieste at Twilight”. While visting Slovenia, I took a jaunt to Trieste to escape the persistent rains of Ljubljana. I had always wanted to visit Trieste, but had never made it despite many previous trips to Italy. Long influenced by Venice, the city’s more recent history was as a Cold War outpost surrounded on three sides by Yugoslavia, which sought to and failed to absorb it after World War II. This image reflects the city’s Venetian influence, but it seemed somehow fitting that I arrived there from the former Yugoslavia. Grand Canal of Trieste at Twilight

My Italian side of the family originally hails from the towns and cities that encircle Mt. Vesuvius. While visiting Naples, I walked towards Vesuvius from the Boscotrecase neighborhood. The road grew narrow and traversed lush, green vineyards. I walked for over an hour, and while I never made it to Vesuvius, I basked in the volcano’s fearsome, majestic presence as I walked towards it. Naples – The Road to Vesuvius

View of Lower Manhattan from Weehawkenat Night was taken from the riverfront in Weehawken – the pilings of which are visible in the foreground. I was on my way to a riverfront restaurant there to attend the pandemic-delayed 50th birthday of a good friend. Coincidentally, today is her birthday – Happy Birthday, VP!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Enjoying a bit of the luck of the Irish (I’m half Irish), I stumbled across and tracked a rainbow while walking around Dublin at the end of a misty Irish day. I found neither a leprachaun nor a pot of gold, but did locate a good store to buy beer for my brother. Following a Rainbow at Dusk in Dublin

While on a bike tour of the Mosel River wine country, I paused to enjoy the view of the river, the town of Oberfell, the vineyards mid-way up the steep hill above, and the ruins of the Thurant Castle crowning the hilltop.

In Shanghai Tower Above the Clouds and Under Construction, I was staying at the hotel located in the Jinmao Tower in Shanghai (tallest building in China from 1998-2007). The adjacent and newly constructed Shanghai Tower (which became the tallest building in China upon completion) broke through the thick layer of clouds below, ascending into the deep blue sky.

As I was Crossing Columbus Avenue at Dusk on a warm evening at the end of October, the New York City sky seemed to radiate heat. I had to capture this image quickly, for although I was crossing with the light, fire trucks were barreling down the avenue with sirens blaring, heading towards a fire.
