Venice Days II

Venice Days

Venice was truly a beautiful city. We really only spent one day there, but it was worth it.
Photographically, it was dream. The sky was perfectly blue, the water made nice reflections, and the way many of the city's streets are not streets at all but channels makes it very unique.The houses are painted in beautiful bright colors, and as you walk around you can see gondolas touring the channels.

Anecdotally, even the trash collector is a boat (rather than a truck). Too bad I didn't take a picture, but it was truly a sight to see.

A glimpse of yesterday

A visit to Central Park Zoo

This one's my favorite. We sat on a bench and this was the view. I think it looks kind of like fairyland would.

All pictures taken in August 2007 while on holiday in New York City.

Enjoy! And don't forget to let me know your favorite!

More Scotland

Waterfall in Scotland

Interestingly this picture, and several others, achieved a painting-like effect, if you know what I mean. (Believe me, I don't know how I did it)

See those two people up at the top? They made me stay in the bottom to take a picture of them at the top. Oh well. At least I took good pictures, right? Or, er, interesting looking.

Scotland, part I

Sweetheart Abbey

Sweetheart Abbey columns

Gazing at the Loch Ness

(hm, no Nessie in sight, too bad, I could have made millions)

One of the greatest opportunities for any photographer, beginner or expert,

or somewhere in between; is to go on a trip. Landscapes and views in other places we are not used to inevitable capture our attention. It was the case with me and Scotland, as you can see, but actually that has happened to me in just about every place I've been. I hope you like the pics, please understand that at the time I'd only had the camera for a few months and didn't use it nearly as much as I do now. Or as well, for that matter.

Feel free to let me know your favorite (mine's the bridge one)!!
