  • Not to be Eclipsed

    I have some friends in Spain and Iceland who are going to get to see an eclipse today. It’s a remarkable thing that I will not forget. I was please to get this shot that day. (Carbondale, Illinois, 2017)

  • Early Train to Chicago

    I like riding the early train out of Milwaukee to Chicago. The slow roll out of the station and through the south side of the city always makes me pause, look, and think of people taking this rail route over time. I also like to see the old Hoffco Shoe Polish Building. (Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 2017)

  • Spain v. Argentina (Part III)

    Match Food. Eating is an important part of travel and I ate magnificently in both Spain and Argentina. I would return to both places for the food alone. My go to snacks in Spain were Salmorejo with roasted vegetables, Add berenjenas con miel and you will be happy. I ate a lot of great things…

  • Spain v. Argentina (Part I)

    I rate countries on whether they are on the “short list” to return to visit. Both Spain and Argentina fall into this category. The history of both is long and deep on the landscape. Above is the Mosque–Cathedral of Córdoba. The Mosque is built on Ancient Roman and Visigoth sites and was converted to a…

  • Bring Lots of Water

    It was the early 90s and Tulum was clearly a resort, but not as trendy as it is now. Regardless it always requires good hydration and a hat if you visit. (Tulum, Mexico, 1993)

  • The Laundry of Seville

    Spotting laundry on the line is a traveling hobby. This one was a particular good morning for it and this was my best shot from my vantage point on Las Setas. There is something special about the smell of clothes off the line. There is also something wonderful about the visual of the clothes blowing…

  • Home History

    Been away for a month. You would think it would have been travel–but you would be wrong. We moved and we have been working on the new place. A friend of mine noted that he has been in all but one of our homes. When we counted there were 14. This was the first, The…

  • Great Tag Line

    I smile every time one of these trucks drives by. The brand and and the tag line are spot on. I actually don’t know how well they do moving, but they have been in business a long time–so that tells me a lot. (Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 2024)

  • Grand Central Stars

    I like to arrive early for my train out of Grand Central Station. The main waiting room is beautiful on its own, but the constellations on the ceiling are elegant and from another era. (New York, New York, 2019)

  • Sunset Above the Clouds

    It’s a rare moment to be high enough to stand on solid ground and see the clouds below. (Cerro Vueltas Lodge, Costa Rica, 2026)
