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

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

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.
