15 minutes outside of Calgary, Alberta is western Canada’s largest outdoor amusement park. My son and I had just spent a very fun day riding all the rides and eating way to much cotton candy when I captured our favourite ride bathed in evening sun and reflected on the pond. A perfect capture to end a perfect day!
My summer in Canada includes vibrant colours, simple shapes and strong leading lines as featured in this image of iconic Muskoka chairs and outdoor furniture.
Island Magic
This photo was captured as the cruise ship I was on, was passing the island of Kauai, HI. The island at this angle was fairly nondescript and unimpressive until the setting sun hit it just right. Then it was jaw dropping. It was amazing to watch the light show unfold before my eyes. The photo was made with my iPhone 11Pro Max from a moving boat and hand held!
In Venice the "sotoportego" is a kind of gallery which, passing under a building, connects a street (in Veniza it is called "calle") with another street or with a square (in Venice "campo"). Often the sotoporteghi are anonymous passages, sometimes they are small masterpieces. Like this one of the "Corte Nova" which, in the Castello district, connects "Corte Nova" with calle Zorzi.
Gerbera Daisies are one of my favourite flowers growing in my garden this year so I’ve taken many photos to capture their beauty. While the full color version was beautiful, I decided to try a softer, black and white version for this challenge.

This shot was taken on the back roads of Texas. I love old, abandoned, classic cars and she was just sitting there all by her lonesome, looking just as fierce as ever.
“When day is done there falls a solemn hush:
The birds are silent in their humble nest.
Then comes the Master Artist with his brush,
And paints with brilliant touch the golden west.” by W.E. Hutchinson

On my early morning walk, I loved how the whispy yellow wild flowers reached above the rest towards the sun, I crouched down and took this at a low angle…
Meet me where the sky touches the sea…
Situated in the north of Singapore facing the Johor Straits, Sembawang Park is a tranquil park away from the bustle of the city. With a beautiful beach side and a stunning view, it is a popular fishing ground and a great place for family and friends to get together. Blending nature with history, this calm and serene park gives visitors a glimpse of Singapore’s naval heritage such as the Sembawang Shipyard, which was a British Naval Base from 1938 to 1968.
Two sculptures by the artist Bruno Catalano in Venice, along the Riva degli Schiavoni. Its "suspended statues" placed in a strategic position give new framing to the splendid island of San Giorgio.
A perfect summer day in the beautiful mountain town of Canmore, Alberta provided so many wonderful photo opportunities. As a proud Albertan and Canadian this landscape with the Canadian chairs was too perfect to pass up.

I was really drawn to the height and shadow of the architecture of this bank building. The clock added a splendid focal point to illustrate the scale and pov.

“Experience is the father of wisdom.” As per this Belgium saying, I experienced the wisdom while walking on the Belgium streets and passing by this Cathedral surrounded by the “Angel Clouds” with my family on my elder daughter’s birthday! Collaboration of a beautiful monument with the sky’s imagination.
As we waited for spring, the bold stripes and shapes of wishing wells and lighthouses were a cheery sight against the stark background of leafless trees.
A Glimpse into the Past
This was photographed in the Fulton Mansion State Historic Site which is located in Fulton on the Texas Gulf Coast, US. I was drawn to the lighting from the windows as it fell and illuminate the hats. Shot on iPhone 11 Pro Max.
