Just before sunset yesterday evening, we were caught in a short rain shower as we walked around the inner harbour of Victoria, British Columbia. One pleasant...
I must admit that I wasn’t much of a fan of Dale Chihuly’s glass art before coming up to Seattle on this trip. What I had seen of it always...
We’re heading across to Vancouver Island this morning and spent last night in a hotel close to the ferry terminal. This rail bridge was close by and made...
During our NxNW2015 trip, we spent the first day and night in Seattle and were very fortunate to be invited to visit the top floor of the University of Washington...
We’ll stay with the Space Needle today. One of the challenging things about shooting popular landmarks is finding some way to capture the scene that...
The Space Needle was built for the 1962 Worlds’ Fair and was, at that time, the tallest building west of the Mississippi. It’s elevators take...

Let’s stay in London today. Here’s a shot from the famous Great Court in the centre of the British Museum.
One of the (many) highlights of our summer trip back to the UK last year was a ride on the London Eye. The views of the city from the top are amazing.

The senate chamber in the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul is closed off by a very heavy, steel gate. Thankfully, though, the bars are just wide enough...
During our NxNW2014 trip up to Acadia National Park last October, we stopped at Somesville in the middle of the day to see this famous building and bridge....
I can hardly believe it’s been a whole year since Nikki and I took our, somewhat impromptu in my case, trip to Paris. Here’s one of the shots...
Flags in front of the Fairmont Hotel and, in the background, the tower of the Mark Hopkins Intercontinental Hotel in San Francisco. Last time I visited...
Back to Maine today and another image from last October’s NxNW2014 photoblogger trip to Acadia National Park. This is Bass Harbor Head Light, an enormously...
