Basilica and William Penn

I captured this long exposure drone photo in downtown Philly in 2019.  In the middle is the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul.  Down the street to the right is City Hall with the William Penn statue on the top of it.

Regensburg

I took this recently on a trip through part of Germany.  This cool little college town has some long history like many areas in this part of the world including back to medieval times.   We were out most of the day exploring this town.  Later that night, I went out for a short period to capture some evening photos.  I liked this one because you get the historic Stone Bridge (12th century), Danube River and the Dom St. Peter Cathedral (13th century Gothic style) all in one beautiful photo.

Peter Paul

I’ve posted photos from this great spot many times before.  This is the incredible St. Peter and St. Paul Cathedral.  It’s truly a classic.  I’ve had a hard time getting a bad image inside this facility.  They all just turn out great…..at least from my perspective.  Enjoy your Sunday.

St. Peter's Basilica

During our trip to Vatican City, we visited St. Peter’s Basilica.  What an amazing visit!!  I don’t know if our guide bribed the Vatican official or not (hard to believe), but we got to skip the entire line.  There were thousands of people in line (at least it seemed like it) and they said the wait was about 2 hours long.  Regardless, the guide got us inside in less then 10 minutes.  It was an outstanding experience and I tried to capture as many photos as possible.  This is of the ceiling just inside the front doors.  I couldn’t use a tripod, so I did the best I could hand holding the camera.

Abandoned St. Peter & St. Paul School in East Liberty

Today, Brad, Dave and I went on a photo walk around the Lawrenceville and East Liberty area of Pittsburgh.  We were basically on a mission to photograph anything interesting.  We all took the same basic photo of this classroom in the abandoned St. Peter and St. Paul School (same location, angle, POV, etc…) and I am looking forward to seeing how we all process the image.  Here is my version.  Hopefully, they’ll post their version soon.
