Giant Swing at Oktoberfest in Munich

by

There is no better layover opportunity than Munich during the months of Oktoberfest. You can make it from the airport to the fairgrounds in about 30 minutes and have a beer in your hand within an hour. It's a fun visit for a solo traveler, but I highly recommend bringing a companion to get the most out of the experience. As I was waiting a socially acceptable amount of time … [Read more...] about Giant Swing at Oktoberfest in Munich

Sunset on a San Francisco Skyscraper

by

This photo was literally taken through my apartment window in mid-market as I scrambled to capture yet another beautiful San Francisco sunset. The photo is HDR, taken with my Sony A7R camera. The 3 exposures (-3, 0, +3) were merged in photomatix to form this image. Because it was taken through a window and hand-held, the photo is fairly grainy.
