I can't seem to get enough of this City of Arts and Sciences at night. Everywhere I turned it's like, oOo, a new angle that I'd like to shoot. The reflections, the light and how it changes from sunset to night.
A Pleasant Surprise in Valencia
I got into Valencia last night after wrapping up some things in Barcelona and took the opportunity to capture night shots of the City of Arts and Sciences. Today I took a nice walk through the Garden of Turia to get to old town and then aimlessly wandered from there. I somehow made my way... Continue Reading →
Freezing
It's mad cold today in Paris. Wunderground said this morning it was 3 degrees celsius, but feels like 0. Definitely did feel like zero or below because of the wind. Tonight it'll be below 0 for sure. BRRR!
Paris is The City of Lights
Enjoying the view from Trocadero in the 16eme after tonight's winter sunset (the Eiffel Tower is in the 7th eme). There's still some blue and pink in the sky. I like. It's mad cold here. I couldn't feel my fingers for a while even though I had gloves on. But I don't mind. Cold weather... Continue Reading →
Bonjour, Paris
Hello, Paris. It's been nearly 5 years since I've seen you! Two weeks ago I booked my one way ticket to Paris using British Airways miles and tonight I went wandering around town. I still can't believe I'm here. I have an apartment on the Seine in the 1st that has a great view of... Continue Reading →
Bixby Creek Bridge in Big Sur, California
Opened in 1932, this bridge is along CA Hwy 1 in Big Sur (about 120 miles south of San Francisco). A vista point nearby allows visitors to stop and take in the view of the bridge and the California coast. It's worth a look if you're already nearby in Monterrey or will be making your...

Seattle Skyline from Queen Anne
Shot of Seattle's skyline from Kerry Park in Queen Anne neighborhood (located northwest of downtown) taken on a Friday afternoon just a couple days before Christmas. If you look at the top of the Space Needle, there's a Christmas Tree that lights up in the evening. The park on this high hill, the highest in... Continue Reading →
Hong Kong from Victoria’s Peak
View of Hong Kong's skyline from Victoria's Peak. One of my favorite places to view this bright and densely populated city. At 7pm you can catch the musical light show, although I think the better experience would be viewing from Tsim Sha Tsui Harbor. To see what it looks like from the harbor, click here.
Hong Kong Streets
Waiting for my turn to walk.
The Bridge on River Kwai – Thailand
This railway bridge was built by P.O.W.s during WWII for the Japanese to send supplies inbetween Thailand and Burma. The rounded parts of the bridge are original while the straight sections replaced the ones damaged by US bombing. Taken with a 24-105 lens at 24mm.
Bananas at Ratchaburi’s Floating Market in Thailand
You can shop for a variety of things here at this popular floating market about 30 minutes west of Bangkok. I picked up some bananas from this lady so that I can feed them to the elephants I will be meeting later in the afternoon. For the market, I suggest a versatile lens like an... Continue Reading →
Temple of Emerald Buddha in Bangkok
The Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew) is a popular tourist destination in Bangkok. It houses the Emerald Buddha, hence the name, and is also located nearby the Grand Palace. The details and size of the temples are great. Get there as early as possible if you can. The later you go, the... Continue Reading →
Night Lights at the Colosseum
Standing inbetween traffic outside of the Colloseum in Rome. Personally, I like shooting this historic landmark in the evenings when there are less tourists and it glows against a dark sky. Bring a wide angle with you if you want to capture the entire building in the frame. You can only step back so much... Continue Reading →
