The latest in our series celebrating the arrival of fall is Autumn Splendor at The Dakota in New York City.  A leaden sky provided a subdued canvas for The Dakota – the glamourous and majestic home to countless celebrities – amidst the brilliant autumn foliage of Central Park.  Autumn Splendor at The Dakota in New York City
The latest in our series celebrating autumn’s arrival is Southern Catskills Autumn Scene. While driving through New York’s southern Catskills on a warm and clear October day, I paused to admire this colorful autumn scene. Southern Catskills Autumn Scene
Following a pause for my very busy summer, I’m ready to introduce some new pieces.  In honor of the arrival of of meteorological autumn, I’m posting a series of autumn-related works. The first of these, Autumn Colors Mirrored in “The Pool” at Central Park, features one of those perfect November days in New York when the sky is blue, the wind is still, and the lakes and ponds are like glass, reflecting vivid fall colors at their peak.

I spent three spring days in Ljubljana rain, which started several days before I arrived and continued after I departed. The rain added to the feeling of lushness, with several varieties of flowering trees decorating the scenic and historical Breg Embankment. The Ljubljana Castle, a medieval fortress, rises in the background from its perch on Castle Hill.

This is the second of two pieces from Vall de Nuria in Catalunya, Spain. This image features the interplay between the sharp, distinct angles of the mountains with the waters of Llac de Nuria in the foreground. The Hotel Vall de Nuria remains almost an afterthought, off to the side. Sharp Angles and Clear Waters of Vall de Nuria
Traveling from Barcelona, I took a regional train to Ribes de Freser and transferred to the Nuria Track Railway. The rack railway is the only way to reach the remote Vall de Nuria, which was quite cold even in May and still experiencing snow.  The area is primarily known for skiing, and the railway terminates at the ski lodge. In spring, it’s a base to hike in the surrounding mountains, though trails can still be a bit slippery with snow and ice. In this piece, I hiked up a trail to capture a view of the lodge nestled in towering green mountains that were glazed with a bit of snow.

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.

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.

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!
