New Town is a portion of Edinburgh that was built between 1767 and 1850. It’s filled with great Georgian architecture, museums and Waverley Station. Although I’ve been here a few times, my visits are not long enough to see it all. (Edinburgh, Scotland 2015)

I was enjoying the dhow (boat) traffic. These are mostly used as tour vessels in region. At one time, they were fitted with sails and were the cornerstone of the pearl diving industry. (Doha, Qatar 2016)

We have had a lot of great meals in great places. A few of them rise above others. It was a beautiful little cafe with some fabulously prepared mussels. The meat and cheese to die for. Did I mention the bread? I would go back just to have that meal again. (Dubrovnik, Croatia 2012)

This is as close as I could get to the old ticket counter in the LA Train Station. This section is just used for events and filming. You can imagine what this looked like when train travel was at its peak in the US. (Los Angeles, California 2004)

It had been cloudy most of the day and the sun just peaked enough to cast some nice light on the canal and you can see the beams through the moisture. The rest of the shots didn’t turn out like this. This has been in my office for several years. (Utrecht, Netherlands 2019)

We took a day trip to Utrecht. It was such a pleasant and easy city to be in. I liked it so much a few years later I applied to present at a conference only because it was in Utrecht and I wanted to go back. I applied, presented, and had a great time again.…

We were looking for the Jesuit house that was listed in the guidebook. We wandered up and down stone stairs with very little that was visible until we came upon the stone carving in the wall. This was the place. I do love when a place is marked by a stone carving. (Dubrovnik, Croatia 2012)
