Boo! It’s that time of year where I like to recap the cemeteries I visited around the globe. I am terrified of horror movies and haunted houses, yet cemeteries excite me for some reason. I love visiting them when I’m traveling. Each culture has different burial methods and rituals, and I enjoy walking around and […]
They were everywhere – standing out like a bright beacon of color amidst an often gray, moody background. During our 2 week driving trip around Nova Scotia, this iconic chair was found everywhere along our routes. Some were new and brightly painted, some were plastic, and some had seen better days as the paint peeled […]
Happy Birthday America. Once again I’m out of the country for 4th of July, but I have collected a few of my favorite American flag photos from my travels to help celebrate. Enjoy the fireworks!
When Skogskyrkogården was created at the beginning of the 1900s, it was unique and unlike anything ever seen before. Today, it is considered one of the most important creations of modern architecture. Skyscraper? Bridge? Memorial? School? Monument? Church? No….a cemetery. As soon as I heard that a cemetery was one of the UNESCO World Heritage […]
The first time I passed through the Liege train station, I was stunned. I looked out my train window and saw curved iron beams, symmetry, and bright sunlight – unlike any train station in Europe I had ever been to. But this was not a planned stop for me, so we pulled away as I […]
As I was marveling at the bright colors of the watermelon, eggplant, and tomatoes against the typical Omani cream-colored backdrop of souq buildings – I felt that something was ‘off’ – but I couldn’t put my finger on it. I continued to walk around the Nizwa souq (market) with our guide Zahar but since I […]
I was surrounded by jagged canyon walls jutting up from the pools of water and shading me from the sun. I wondered if it could get any more beautiful than this – and my answer to that question came as I rounded the corner out of the canyon and stepped out into the sunlight. This […]
I stood staring upwards at the chandelier in the dome of the Saltan Qaboos Grand Mosque in Muscat Oman admiring its soft glow. I was slightly surprised that it gets the dubious title of 2nd largest chandelier in the world. It didn’t seem that large to me, but as our guide Rob was pumping out […]
I felt as if the whole city of Copenhagen was under construction. All of the beautiful squares and plazas were not only torn up, but they were dusty and loud. The sound of equipment was in the air as I tried to visit many of the famous buildings and squares around town. The city is […]
The trees limbs were heavy with freshly fallen snow providing a peaceful backdrop on this entirely eerie place. I had made my way outside of Berlin to the little community of Beelitz on this snowy Easter weekend to photograph Beelitz Heilstätten, a sanatorium for tuberculosis treatment methods in the early 20th century. In 1898 Beelitz […]
