Inside Munich's Residenz, staring down the amazing Antiquarium...

Sunset over the Marble Church in Copenhagen...

A gorgeous reading room in the New York Public Library...

The Vatican in Rome is simply breath-taking!

An amazing but little-known church in Venice, Italy...

Grand Place in Brussels Belgium at sunrise.  The loveliest town square in the world without another soul around.

The lovely Pantheon in Rome, in monochrome...

Here is the famous spiral staircase inside the Vatican Museums in Rome - it's incredible.

A pair of random shots from Venice, Italy captured while wandering aimlessly...

Inside a little cafe that we visited in Rome - great food, great people, and great photo opps too!  :-)

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

Sometimes you wander into buildings and find amazing things - and then you have to return with the camera.  Don't you love happy accidents?

About an hour away from Austin, in a tiny little Texas town, there's this beauty.  It's a painted church dating from the mid 1800's, and it's a real gem.  Step inside and have a look.

Exploring some side streets in Copenhagen, which is always a good time.  As the saying goes, not all who wander are lost.  Though I will admit, I get lost now and then.  ;-)

This is Leadenhall Market, and it's totally amazing.  How's that for an intro?  It's an awesome spot in London, but it's not a "big tourist" spot.  Get off the beaten path a little and go see this.  You can thank me later!  (And it was used in the Harry Potter movies!)

There is a gorgeous little cathedral in Glasgow, Scotland known as St Andrew's - and it's well worth a visit.  Here are a few pics from my last trip there that show how pretty this place really is!

I love architecture - a LOT! - and when I find something like this place, I'm pretty fired up. Here's a quick photo tour of Hay's Galleria in London.  Just something I literally stumbled upon - and almost missed!

Paris is a beautiful city - that's basically an undisputed fact.  But on my recent visit there, I found beauty in lots of unexpected places - including inside a cafe, inside the Musee d'Orsay museum.  Here's a visual tour of the place, which is the home to many of the great works of the Impressionists.  Enjoy!

Grace Cathedral in San Francisco is just incredible.  Today's photo essay is a collection of 10 photos and 1 painting that summarize my visit there...and a little story about luck, perseverance, and why you should always tell the truth.  Be sure to add this place to your list if you are planning a trip to San Fran!

Have I ever mentioned that I love train stations in Europe?  Haha, well ok, maybe I have.  So keeping with that theme, here are 6 photos from the grand interior of the train station in Leipzig, Germany!
