Saint Paul's Cathedral from the River Thames

Saint Paul’s Cathedral from the Banks of the Thames I recently returned from a business trip to London and surrounding areas, and had some free time to walk around and take photos. It was interesting to be alone in a city again, with only my camera. On this night, the Thames was at low tide, […]

Akaroa New Zealand

Caramel Crepes and Cafe au Lait

Akaroa NZ – France meets Kiwis I’ve just returned from a business trip through Sydney, Australia; Auckland, New Zealand; and Christchurch, New Zealand for the past few weeks.

Budapest: Saint Matthias Church III

St. Matthias Church in Budapest, Hungary at Castle Hill.

Mátyás-templom (Saint Matthias Church) I’ve posted other photos of Saint Matthias Church in my Budapest photo gallery, but I really did like the way this image came out. This building has had a long, somewhat crazy, history. Tradition holds Saint Stephen founded the church as the Church of Mary in 1015 AD, and this original […]

Viking Wooden Animal Carving

Viking Wood Animal Carving

Viking Wooden Animal Carving While on my trip to Oslo, we had some down time and took a ferry over to Bygdøy and spent a few hours at the Viking Ship Museum. When you stop and think, the first permanent English settlement in North America was Jamestown, Virgina in 1607 and these ships may have predated […]
