Nothing like walking around Lisbon in the spring a Nothing like walking around Lisbon in the spring and enjoying the sights with your camera. I was walking in the Praca Do Comercio area and I heard the strange otherworldly sounds of someone plaing Leonard Cohen's Hallelujia on ... a Wood Saw!

Yesterday I went for a drive to a few local spots Yesterday I went for a drive to a few local spots I like to shoot at, including Hickory Run State Park, which has a long history in my #family back to the 1800s when Issac Gould on my father's side of the family owned a number of lumber mills in the area. I was having a rough day, as it was the 40th anniversary of my mother's passing, so I stopped at the old graveyard in the park (just across the way from the Ranger Station) to look around, think and grab a few photographs of the area. . This shot is of Elizabeth "Lizzie" Gould's marker, she died in 1849 at just about 11 years old from a major flood that raged through the area. Her older sister Joanna wrote about the flood in detail which can be read here (https://tinyurl.com/JoannaGouldFlood). It is said that Lizzie haunts the area, and I have to admit some REALLY weird things happened last night when I got back down the road to my place ... but that's for another time. . #on1pics #hickoryrunstatepark #poconoshistory #graveyard #gravemarker #headstone #pennsylvania #staylocal #pennsylvaniahistory #poconomnts #ghosts #pennsylvaniaphotographer #pastateparks #padcnr #forest #hikingtrails #ig_pennsylvania #weirdshithappens #geneology . @padcnr @visit_pa @poconomts @southernpoconos @sonyalphagallery @on1photo

A few years ago, while on a bit of a holiday in Pa A few years ago, while on a bit of a holiday in Paris I attended an exhibit of @jpgaultierofficial fashions and grabbed a few shots. . For this image, I was lucky that the background was already fairly dark, so I blacked it out and brought out some of the detail in the corset to shadowbox the image. . . #jetaimeparis #jpgaultierofficial #jeanpaulgaultier #paris #fashion #gaultier #gaultierparis #travel #igersbnw #bwstyleoftheday #blackandwhite #igblackandwhite #instagrambnw #blackandwhitecreators #monoart #blackandwhitephotography #bnw #bnwinstagram #bw_photooftheday #bw_mania #flair_bw #bnwsouls #blackandwhiteisworththefight #bnw_planet #theworldshotz_bnw #on1pics
Sagrada Familia - Look Up! There is so much to cat Sagrada Familia - Look Up! There is so much to catch your eye in Sagrada Familia, and I never get bored looking for new things and perspectives in the Basilica. This shot is from my last trip to Barcelona with a Platypod. Tripods are not allowed, but they did not seem to have issues with using the Platypod on the floor, go figure 🙂 . @basilicasagradafamilia @sonyalphagallery @visitbarcelona @barcelona_barcelona @thisisbarcelona @topbarcelonaphoto @wonderlust.barcelona @on1photo #sagradafamilia . #kings_hdr #hdrphotography #hdr #getlost #explorer #theworldshotz #createexplore #travelphoto #travelworld #keepexploring #instapassport #igtravel #on1pics #eclectic_shotz #visitbarcelona #barcelona #spain #catalunya #barcelonaspain #ig_barcelona #catalonia #church #cathedral #gaudi #platypod
