  • Chicago

    I have been known to tease my friends from Chicago (about a lot of things including the Bears, Cubs, and Sox). However if you know the city and see it laid out before you like this–you just smile. (Chicago, IL 2018)

  • Nicely Said

    This does beat the “It has been ______________ days since our last accident. (Tempe, Arizona, 2005)

  • Museum Patio

    Sometimes a great architect can make you “feel” a space. I spent at least an hour walking around this patio and fountains designed by I.M. Pei. The sun going down helped the experience as well (Doha, Qatar, 2016)

  • Definitely Sit at the Bar

    This is probably one of my favorite restaurants in Kenosha. Every time I’ve been there, food is good, but the “feel” of the place is 1960s. The bar overlooks Lake Michigan. The only thing it is lacking is people smoking–that would make it complete. (Kenosha, 2016)

  • Up on the Roof

    This was my first real view of India during the day. Our hotel (Hotel Welcome Palace) was near the train station and in the heart of the construction suppliers. (New Delhi, India 2009)

  • Spring on the Canal

    Kathleen and I took a spring break trip to the Netherlands. After that I was sold on cool weather spring break trips. (Amsterdam, 2019)

  • Petrifying Springs

    A quiet autumn walk through Petrifying Springs Park. (Kenosha, 2012)

  • I Had to Stop and Rest Here

    The had turned gorgeous and I wound up walking way more than I had planned. I was exhausted and about another hour walk away from my hotel. (London, 2023)

  • The Quiet Silhouette

    I found this sculpture of Sandino to be powerful because it lacked physical detail as it overlooked the city. (Managua, Nicaragua, 2007)

  • Lazy Seals in the Bay

    Whenever I see seals on the shore (or on the docks) I am amazed at their lack of need for personal space (San Francisco, 2003)
