Twenty-Second Collection

Florence, at sunset.
The Bridge “alla Carraia”, the Church of Cestello, and the Lungarni are reflected in the Arno River.

Firenze al tramonto.
Il Ponte alla Carraia, la Chiesa del Cestello ed i Lungarni si specchiano nell’Arno.

I climbed down off of the main road under a bridge to take this shot of the reflections in the water. The waves crash against the rocks and leave giant pools behind as the Pacific retreats back, away from the cliff. It was a beautiful day.

Came across this amazing artist Mr. Peter Robinson in NewYork a few weeks ago at Bryant Park who crafts these amazing wire mesh sculptures using only his fingernails and scissors. He creates a stunning 3-dimensional effect through shadows!

Amanecer en el Macizo de Betancuria, cadena montañosa en el interior de la isla de Fuerteventura en las islas canarias, los visitantes dejando constancia de su presencia con los iconos de piedra sobre piedra, como suele suceder en los sitios más visitados de cualquier parte del mundo.

A yard sale yielded this beautiful Waterford Crystal decanter. Our bedroom window Venetian blinds yield these pretty golden bars of light at sunset. The two things were meant to be together.

This was taken while crossing the walkover bridge near World Trade Center, Dubai. The sunset along with the skyline of Dubai looked awesome and I knew it’s the perfect moment to capture.

I took this photo at Phuket – Thailand, this spectacular view from resort balcony was just waiting to be captured. I still remember checking into the room, opening the balcony door first thing and scrambling to capture this beautiful sunset

To me the tunnels of London represents how living in London is like. Every tunnel is an adventure, no one journey is quite the same and expect the unexpected.

Old Frank Sam’s house on California's Eastern Sierra run of 395, just south of Lee Vining, CA and Mono Lake. Once part of a large ranch, Sam had two sister wives from the local Indian population, who were famous basket weavers. This house is considered one of the most photographed buildings on the 395 - everyone with their own take. Love that. What I don't like...for as long as this house has been left to its own demise, it has been left alone until recently...the once boarded up windows have had the wood removed and most all belongings have been ransacked. The hard winter of 2018-2019 took it's the toll of the roof and frame as well. Each drive up, we stop so I can grab just one more look before she begins to truly implode. It is with the respect that I always shoot from outside the barbed wire fence.

Driving down after an evening of fun and drinks with the people I love from @PinderWinery in LongIsland, New York. I took this picture from the passenger seat of my car while driving through the Midtown Tunnel.

I fly often due to business and, I do swear, would climb up and over to get to a window seat for the very reasons captured in this photo. This was during an early evening climbout from OAK to BUR in SoCal. Into the left turn, just around 10,000ft, and down the coast, you leave San Francisco behind and glide out just to the Pacific coast before another slight left turn inland. I caught the sky between contrails and their reflection on the sea. Below is the world famous point, Mavericks, which is a surfing location in northern California outside Pillar Point Harbor, just north of the town of Half Moon Bay at the village of Princeton-by-the-Sea. After a strong winter storm in the northern Pacific Ocean, waves can routinely crest at over 8 m and top out at over 18 m. Many tries...very few can surf it. I've taken this exact route hundreds of times and never seen these conditions. This shot does not do justice to the entire sky landscape ...the lengthy contrails and shadows...best I could grab in the few seconds I had.
