My Favorite Photo of the Golden Gate Bridge

by

Last week I went on a photo safari to capture the Golden Gate Bridge at Sunset. The day was clear, so I figured there would be no fog getting in the way of the perfect shot. There were no clouds in the sky - just clear views of the Golden Gate and the Marin Headlands in the background. I took many photos and enjoyed them all. But this one has to be my favorite. … [Read more...] about My Favorite Photo of the Golden Gate Bridge

Neverending Arches in Munich, Germany

by

One of my favorite parts of Europe is the views you can find from above. This often involves taking an elevator to the top of a tower and snapping photos of the surrounding area. While elevators are convenient for those on the go, I often find taking the stairs creates even more photo opportunities. This was the case on our recent visit to Munich. Sure we got to take photos … [Read more...] about Neverending Arches in Munich, Germany

Sun Setting on the Base of the Golden Gate Bridge

by

I was trying to figure out a way to get a picture of the sun setting on the middle of the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco, but alas that just didn't seem possible without a boat. Instead I had to settle for seeing the sun shine through both the base span of the bridge, as well as some beautiful flowers currently in bloom. I quite like the result. There are many places … [Read more...] about Sun Setting on the Base of the Golden Gate Bridge

Nicasio Reservoir Reflection in Marin County, California

by

There are several routes from San Francisco to the Point Reyes National Seashore, but I sure am glad I took this one. The Nicasio Reservoir of Marin county was nearly empty when we drove past this area August of 2014. Now the water levels look healthy after winter rains, but I'm not sure how long this will last. For this visit the calm water provided a beautiful photo … [Read more...] about Nicasio Reservoir Reflection in Marin County, California

View of the Alps from Downtown Davos, Switzerland

by

You may have heard of Davos because of the world economic forum they host most years, or you may have heard of the great skiing in the area. I was in Davos for neither of these reasons - I was simply there to relax as we began our European adventure. Our time was limited in the city due to irregular sleep patterns and jet-lag, but we did try to make the most out of it … [Read more...] about View of the Alps from Downtown Davos, Switzerland

Viktualienmarkt Market in Munich, Germany

by

If you are ever in Munich, make sure to visit Viktualienmarkt (Victuals Market) on your first day in town. Don't wait until the day before you head back to the US, because you will regret not visiting sooner. If you are a fan of cheeses, fresh pasta, fruits and vegetables, you will love the Victuals Market.  I assume that means everyone reading qualifies. I really liked how … [Read more...] about Viktualienmarkt Market in Munich, Germany

Sun Setting on the Town of Berchtesgaden, Germany

by

I am in love with the city of Berchtesgaden in Germany. We first came here on our honeymoon a few years ago, and I was back for two nights last week. The city is small enough to explore in a few hours, but you can always discover something new along the way. This time we climbed above the city to see a view from above, and then came all the way down to the road level as it … [Read more...] about Sun Setting on the Town of Berchtesgaden, Germany

Barn and Fields outside of Healdsburg, California

by

As we were driving through the northern part of wine country in Sonoma County a few weeks ago, I pulled over the car for a photo opportunity. I am not sure there is a better scene than the beginning of a new wine growing season. Green for miles and miles, with rows of vines to turn the landscape into a grid pattern. Healdsburg seems less traveled than the southern sections … [Read more...] about Barn and Fields outside of Healdsburg, California
