I haven’t had a chance to capture any fall color photos this year. I’ve just been busy with other activities. So here is a photo I took last year in northern Michigan.
Dyrholaey
On both of our trips to Iceland, we hit up this spot along the Atlantic Ocean to watch Puffins. This photo is from our 2021 trip. This small peninsula has great views, tall cliffs, a lighthouse, puffins, and a large arch of volcanic rock in the ocean.
California Bend
Here is a photo I took last Sunday of the Monongahela River (otherwise known as the “Mon River”) near California Pennsylvania. I took a photo from this spot many years ago…maybe 6 years ago. That time I took it from within a restaurant that looked out over this spot. Now, that business is closed, so I captured the image with my drone. That’s about the only way to get this perspective, due to the trees blocking the view, unless you break into the closed restaurant, which I wasn’t going to do. Anyway, I hope you like the pic.

Bratislava Sunset
I’m so ready for a return to Europe…..but that will have to wait until next year. Until then, I’ll just have to look at my photos from prior trips. Here is a beautiful sunset drone photo from Bratislava Slovakia. I loved this spot, the architecture and this city. By the way, that is the Danbue River on the left…..

Trevi
We’re heading to Europe again this year and I can’t wait. We’ll be traveling down the Danube River on one of the river boats. It should be great, assuming the river levels are not too high or low….. Apparently, that’s a potential real problem with river cruises…..
Anyway, tonight’s post from a previous Europe trip. I love Trevi Fountain.

Time To Go Back
I’m not traveling anytime soon. Keep in mind, that “soon” for me, means in the next week or so. There is something about traveling routinely….. you get used to it and miss it when you don’t. At least that’s how I feel about it.
Tonight’s photo is one I took during a past trip to Mexico. I always get up before sunrise on vacation to capture some pre-sunrise and sunrise photos. When I do that, I have the location to myself. This morning wasn’t any different. I had the entire beach to myself. Good times…..

Ocean and Lagoon
It was chilly in my area this weekend, which makes we wish for either warmer weather or a trip to a warm weather spot. As I scrolled through photos looking for something to post, I had that in my head. Therefore, you’re getting this photo I took from the Bahamas. This was a great spot to spend the day, with the Caribbean Sea on one side and a beautiful lagoon on the other.

Tulum
About an hour and a half drive south of Cancun is the Tulum Mayan ruins. This site is one of hundreds…maybe thousands across Central America. Most of the sites are buried under the jungle and haven’t been touched in something like….oh Mayan time. Anyway, this specific site is a Mexican archaeological site that you can tour. What’s unique about it is the fact it sits right on the cliffs overlooking the beach.
We had a great time exploring this site doing our best to take it all in and ignore the other tourists. I captured some great photos and enjoyed the day with MJ.

Sedona Landscape
Quick post for you tonight. Sorry I won’t have a long explanation for you or anything great to say. I’m just busy. Have a great evening and enjoy the beautiful landscape.

Hout Bay
Here is another South Africa photo and this one doesn’t include an animal. This is Hout Bay which is south of Cape Town on the Cape Peninsula. We had a nice time exploring this area and as you can see the location is beautiful. Frankly, there was lots of beautiful locations in the country, even if an animal wasn’t in the foreground.

Tribal Mask
This fake tribal mask was hanging on a post in Dominican Republic at the Amber Cove cruise terminal. This is a re-creation….who knows if it based on a real version or not. Regardless, I liked it and captured this photo.

Dubrovnik's Marina
This Croatia city is beautiful. The ancient walled city within Dubrovnik is a wonderful location….well worth the trip. I took this photo standing on top of the ancient wall looking down at the marina. You can see some of the wall on the left side of the photo. I want to go back right now…..

Marina
Pittsburgh Alley
Blair and I were walking in the downtown Pittsburgh area after having dinner and we came upon this alley. I loved it immediately and setup my tripod for this perspective. I like the detail of the buildings in the foreground along with the office building at the end of the alley.

Peru Thread
During our trip to Peru, we got a demonstration on how the local women make thread by hand from Llama and Alpaca. Honestly, it was very interesting and they make all kinds of cool things with the colorful thread. After the demonstration, I captured this photo of some thread they completed.

31st Street Bridge
I need to get out and take some more Pittsburgh photos soon. Believe or not, I’m running out of photos to process and post from my great city. I took this photo last fall on a photo walk with Brad and Dave. I didn’t get a ton of wonderful photos that night, but I had a good time. This one was taken just past sunset.

Sedona Landscape
This beautiful landscape is from right outside Sedona Arizona. We were fortunate and got to spend a few days in this part of the world a while back. The weather and the landscape is amazing. I’d go back in a heartbeat. It’s that good….if you haven’t been, put it on your “to do” list.

Central Park In The Summer
I took this photo of “The Lake” in Central Park during our last visit to NYC. This specific spot is just to the west of the Bow Bridge and Bethesda Fountain. I had to sit here for what seemed like forever to capture this photo without a bunch of pedestrians on the path. I like the Eldorado towers sticking up over the trees on the left side of the photo as a reminder that this quiet spot is in the heart of Manhattan.

Cruise Port
We did a private island tour toward the end of our time on St. Maarten. I made the driver take us up to the top a hill, which had a gated community at the top. We couldn’t get into the neighborhood, but we got this great view. It was a wonderful stop on our tour that provided a view of the cruise port that most people don’t see. I hope you enjoy it.
