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!

The little things in Amsterdam

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!

After dark in Central Park

I just got back from NYC, and brought home a few images as well.  It's a great town for that, though you can read my thoughts on NYC in this post.  In short, I like it, but don't love it.  However, I really enjoyed wandering in Central Park and firing off a bunch of photos!  Check 'em out!
