Blue Ridge Parkway in Autumn
Sometimes we don’t spend enough time in our own backyard. I keep wanting to spend more time in Smokies during the Fall and I keep failing at my goal. I did get out for a day last year with a buddy and we traveled a…
Chattanooga through the Prism of the IronMan Triathlon
Last we took the hour and a half ride down to Chattanooga with my son (who now lives in SFO). He was participating in the Ironman Triathlon. I really like the downtown Chattanooga. I think they have done a better job than Knoxville, but my…
Winelands of the Western Cape, South Africa.
Have you been to the winelands of the Western Cape? I may be biased (having spent the majority of my life in this region) but I still think the Western Cape is one of the premier destinations of the world. I no longer live there,…
Chefchaouen, the bluer than blue city of Morocco

I had to attend a conference at the Four Seasons (I know, someone has to do it) in Scottsdale, Arizona. For once I had my wife with me which was fantastic. I get tired of traveling alone. This was the view from the balcony. The…
Nature in all its glory – a downpour at home
We had a major downpour and I made sure I was home safely and dry. I could sit under our back porch and take this shot in comfort.
Abandoned boat on a canal in Amsterdam
I never tire of going to Amsterdam. The city is so interesting and feast for a photographer. What makes it so quaint is that the canal system is a living and breathing system, used on a daily basis by residents. This little boat looked like…
Amsterdam in the evening
I had a great meal just nearby to this spot in Amsterdam a few days ago. In fact this is really near the Central Station and so is easily accessible. If I didn’t need to catch a plane the next day, I would have spent…
