I was having lunch with a friend the other day and she was talking about going up in the lighthouse for the solstice. As I was listening to her I realized I lived across the harbor from the lighthouse and I had never climbed up it–but I have a number of photos, (Kenosha, Wisconsin, 2012)

When I’m asked about the winter darkness in Iceland I tell people that it looks the same as darkness anywhere else. It’s the daylight that becomes special. I took a lunchtime walk along the harbor in late December. It was unplanned. I had come out of a meeting and the city was just so lovely…

Eating is an important part of traveling. Often the food is good. Sometimes the surroundings are exceptional. The sky had cleared. The sun was warm. Lunch overlooking the Sound was just the thing. (Iona, Scotland 2018)

We were rushing to catch the ferry to Mull. However the morning, the light, and the stillness of the water made me stop and just admire the space. We made the ferry in plenty of time. (Oban, Scotland 2018)

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)
