Seventy-Sixth Collection

As Christmas approaches in Venice, the Santa Claus regatta takes place along the Grand Canal. A real race but also a splendid parade in the most beautiful city in the world.

La impresionante Mezquita -Catedral de Cordoba, bien de de Interés Cultural, Monumento y Patrimonio de la Humanidad.

Honouring a new coffee spot in Bath. The beautiful colours with the Bath Stone are always an eye catcher.

The sun bids farewell over Galway's sandy shores, casting its warm glow on the beach and painting reflections on the sand.

This was an incredible sky that made me pull over to deeply appreciate… this was the result.

Hoping to get in a hike before the rain started we came upon this beautiful spot in southwest Washington. We barely made it back to the car before it poured.

Bike art in Amsterdam, right in front of the Anne Frank's museum.

At Christmas in the little things: on the colorful island of Burano, a gnome guards a small nativity scene in a bottle, on a window sill.

Spectacular colors of the Blackrock sunset in Galway.

This was taken from the window of a moving train, while moving the iPhone at dusk.

I love the symmetry of dahlias.

The traditional boat fleet in Galway takes pride in lighting their rigs in the city's basin for special occasions.

This cloud just looked like a woman to me and it felt like a gift.

While visiting my daughter in Virginia we decided to visit George Washington’s home, Mount Vernon. It did not disappoint.

Downtown Toronto right before Christmas at dusk.

I saw these leaves while on a walk around a small lake near my house. The light was hitting them in a way that caught my eye immediately.

Clouds are amazing and it's so incredible when the clouds capture a sunrise in this unique way ~ thankful for my iPhone to capture this.

"Pink cloud formation" - 2023

Who can resist a frosted wire fence stretching into the distance, bedazzled into diamonds by sunshine. I had to wait for this shot since the sun was being very shy that day.

An obsolete pay phone becomes artwork at Meow Wolf interactive art Installation in Grapevine, TX USA

Walking the streets of Toronto, Canada, I turned the corner and this was the sight. The light captured the older building in a way that framed the famous CN tower and this scene was framed by the tall modern buildings on either side of the street. A “Frame within a Frame”.

One of the very rare days of sun in Ontario (Canada) this winter, I liked the golden, heavy sky, the silvery smooth foreground and the curls of the iron boat sculptures.

Let’s go outside.

In Switzerland 🇨🇭 sometime there is a warm wind and the clouds look like the one on the left side. What I thought it was special in the scene is the bird crossing the path of the airplanes far above in the sky.

Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias in Valencia, these are beautiful architectural buildings, with beautiful gardens, an opera and musea in it.

An amazing mural captured on the side of a building in Taipei Taiwan.

Her fingers dance with grace and ease, upon the harp strings, like soft a breeze.

UNTITLED

Noordermarkt, Amsterdam, Holland

On a beautiful foggy day ~ I was enchanted by the shimmer and reflections on these harbor side buildings.

"Foggy Dockside" - 2023

A cerulean blue sky, some snowy foliage, and a handsome old yesteryear barn that has withstood the ravages of time and weather. Alberta countryside is filled with these gorgeous old buildings.

Another view from a hotel room at the crossroads of a busy junction provided symmetry and movement that became mesmerizing

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Outside it’s rainy and stormy weather, but inside it’s warm and cosy.
