A beautiful sunset in southern France...don't you love happy accidents?

Even though I am currently in Italy, I still have a lot of Oregon photos to share with you.  Take a quick peek at this trio from that lovely state way out West...

Don't you love it when you get a wonderful sunset at the place you have always wanted to photograph a wonderful sunset?  Yeah, sometimes it happens, and when it does, IT'S AWESOME.

Sometimes you have to give up looking for original shots and just join in with the crowd to get the shot you want.  And sometimes it's worth it to do so.

An amazing-looking restaurant I found while wandering in Sydney.  Well worth a quick stop for some HDR brackets!

Here's an arc de triomphe from France that you probably haven't heard of - it's in Montpellier.  Sure, it's not as big as the more famous arc in Paris, but hey it's pretty awesome!
