I worked half-time in the EU for years. Those memories/ photos my soothe my soul. All pictures mine unless noted/ reposted. I respect human dignity & diversity. Seek to appreciate beauty amid chaos. @mhstory on Substack. Slava Ukraini

May this take your mind off the mayhem if ever so briefly…
#Greetings! I asked Siri for traditional Christmas music, thinking I’d get something like Little Drummer Boy, Silent Night, White Christmas, that sort. I got Wham, #LastChristmas right off the bat 😬. I’m scared to ask for contemporary… I hope all enjoy whichever version of this #season is for you.

While this is a beautiful altar, #Freisinger Cathedral from last year when the town was were celebrating its 1300 year anniversary, 😳the main point of this is to listen… chanting is calming. #adventcalendar #December

Sometimes Samuel likes to sit on the kitchen window ledge and look in, observing us as if we were strangers. He doesn’t want to come in. He just wants this vantage point. I guess it’s the closest he’s ever going to get to being allowed up on a counter.🤣#cats #notblackfriday.

The Bavarian Supermoon
My idea for this supermoon was to capture it with typical Bavarian landscape elements: an old tree and a little chapel. Everything turned out well.

What a magic atmosphere. There are still autumn colors in some corners. Bavaria, Germany

Near Hawthorne, FL this past May. I love these low scuddy bits of fog that were in the process of burning off in this early morning. #waterwednesday #blue

Here's another shot I took last week on my final Milky Way trip of the season. I still have tons of MW stuff to edit and/or re-edit from my 14 trips to the desert this year but I'm already looking forward to next season! #photography

It is rather interesting to look at life as if visiting a 3rd world country: to commiserate with those who must handle corruption and injustice. Many here have had to deal with this forever. Now the rest of us are learning. This is what a #plutocracy looks like. Meanwhile enjoy the wildlife 🪶🪶

A couple of parasails out on the ocean in Virginia Beach. Could make a #BlueSky considerably more interesting. #blueskymonday

We saw a bald eagle this afternoon over the ocean front in #VirginiaBeach. While the form is clear, due to the light (and its a phone) the telltale white head and tail are not discernible in the photo like we could see with our eyes. So close! Beautiful!
