Whiskey, bridges, a church and a jail - not your normal collection of shots!  Today's post doesn't really follow a "theme" like many of mine do.  This is rather just a group of shots from some of my trips to Dublin that I happened to have ready, but which don't necessarily all go together.  But I think it does give you a nice tour of some cool spots around this lovely Irish town...so click on in and have a look!

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!

It's always hard to get up early for anything - even if it's something you love, like shooting sunrise.  But then again, you can't shoot sunrise any other time of day except morning, so an early rise is sort of a requirement.  So I did just that when I was in Montpellier, France a while back - and it was well worth it!  And it was an amazing sunrise!

Do you ever find yourself in the wrong spot when the light gets awesome?  Yeah, me too.  So I do what any sane person would do - RUN and find a good spot!  Luckily, I didn't get hit by any of the bewildered Parisian drivers!

Ah, the beauty of Notre Dame in Paris!  And even prettier with a huge Christmas tree out front!  Click on through and have a look - there are 7 photos for you to enjoy today my friends!

Here's a collection of shots from a FABULOUS sunset I shot recently in Montpellier, France.  Although I was tired from no sleep on the flight over, I just could NOT resist getting out and exploring a bit.  Then to get rewarded with such great light - well, let's just say I was pretty dang happy!

How about some iPhone shots from my recent visit to Paris, France?  Sound good?  Great!  Here you go!  This is 10 iPhone pics from that beautiful city we all love.  Take a look and let me know your thoughts!

Today's post is 4 images from a marvelous sunset in Copenhagen that I took a while ago, but converted to paintings for your viewing pleasure (and a side-by-side comparison).  I think they look pretty awesome.  And there's a MASSIVE Cyber Monday deal going on at Topaz Labs, the makers of some of my favorite editing software - click on through for details!

I was in Montpellier, France last week and found it to be awesome.  As you can imagine, I gunned a MASSIVE amount of photos, but I am still in France (yay!) so today's post is a collection of 10 iPhone shots from last week in the lovely southern French city of Montpellier!  I think you are going to enjoy these!

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!

I'm back at it - sharing a HUGE collection of photos from a trip I took to Bratislava, Slovakia.  But this isn't your normal post, featuring some landmark or well-known sight.  This is 16 photos of the little things I found there while wandering with my camera.  Take a look!

I am always carrying a list with me when I travel to any city, and the list contains all the big, important things I hope to photograph while I am there.  And I think that is a good thing.  But equally - if not more - important, is noticing, enjoying and photographing the little things that you see while out there.  They add a lot to your experience and enjoyment of a city.  So today, here's a few of the "little things" I enjoyed in Amsterdam!

How about we step back into history today?  Specifically, 16th century France - does that sound good?  It does to me, so I hope you will come along for the ride.  It's going to be fun, educational, colorful (of course!) and hopefully inspirational too!  Vive le France!  (or something like that)

Montmartre is a beautiful part of Paris, which is itself a very beautiful city.  Today's photo tour of Montmartre is done in honor of the great painters who once roamed the streets here.  I took a collection of photos and converted them to digital paintings!

Do you ever get out and shoot at sunrise?  You should!  Especially when in a touristy area of a city, sunrise is great to shoot because all the tourists are still asleep.  It's quiet and awesome.

While everyone loves a sunset shot, it's well worth getting out and shooting in the afternoon too - especially if you happen to be in Amsterdam!  Here's 3 photos to help convince you.  :-)

Today I share some images of Big Ben in London - that are converted to paintings, using Topaz Simplify.  Take a look and let me know what you think!  It's been a great app to experiment with!

London City Hall is one of many iconic and interesting bits of architecture in London.  Honestly, the city is full of them!  Have you been to see this place?

A trio of shots from Copenhagen - which has a few canals, as well as awesome architecture!  Also, I am using new software to edit my photos - read more in this post!

I just don't get tired of shooting all the beautiful churches that I come across in Europe.  I found this one in Vienna, Austria by accident - sometimes I get lucky!  I'll take it!
