Just before sunrise at Angkor Wat - Siem Reap, Cambodia - June 2013
We left the hotel at 4 in the morning in order to get to the temple early enough to find a spot for sunrise without having a million other tourists in front of us.

This huge sculpture straddles a small canal in the Arsenalé area on the far eastern end of Venice. Being able to walk around and underneath the pairs of arms/hands gives you an unlimited variety of perspectives.

Each one was like a person to me. Each with their own personality.

Reflecting Pool at the Missouri Botanical Garden - St. Louis, MO - April 2022
The water was so incredibly still that it turned the surface of the water into a perfect mirror.
I had to lay on my belly at the edge of the pool to get low enough to capture the full reflection.

This tiny little village has a harbor deep enough to accommodate the largest cruise ships, so the town gets overrun with cruise passengers almost daily. It goes from empty to overwhelmed to empty again in a matter of hours.

This tiny Orthodox Russian Chapel is dedicated to Russian prisoners of war from WWI who built much of the modern road that goes over Vršič Pass in the Julian Alps of Slovenia.
To reach the pass from the west, you have to go up a road that climbs 3200 feet up from the Soča River valley below.
