Travel Photography

Beauty is everywhere; in nature, in human endeavors, in life itself and in the interactions of these. My images capture some of it.

The tabs on the left will open galleries of images from places around the world; windows and doors, some modern, some very old, all of them bringing light into their respective rooms; reflections mainly of water or glass; and artistic touch images that blur reality with some artistic liberties. (Note: choose slideshow viewing for the galleries, it will have music background)

Berlin

When President Reagan made his “Tear Down this Wall” speech in 1987, he used the line from a classic German song “Ich hab noch einen Koffer in Berlin” (I still have a suitcase in Berlin) from the 1950s best remembered in the version sung by Marlene Dietrich. According to the song, the suitcase is full of the joys of days gone by in Berlin.

The Parks include: Minneopa, Sakatah Lake, Rice Lake, Nerstrand Big Woods, Frontenac, Carley, Whitewater and John A. Latsch.

 While in Isolation

While in isolation I had the privilege of roaming through the vast fields around my hometown. I spent about a month going out almost daily, feeling the changes of early spring including a full blown snow storm during Easter Sunday. I invite you to enjoy the beauty and calm of the area with this short video.

Fondas 18 de Septiembre

During Chile’s “fiestas patrias” (national celebrations), the country is full of national pride, celebration and fondas appearing throughout the country. Fondas are often found in open, outdoor areas that could be compared to fairgrounds or carnivals set apart for partying, eating and drinking. Here is a slide show from our visit to various Fondas in Santiago with folkloric music.
