Český Krumlov

Overlooking Český Krumlov Castle in the Czech Republic at sunset on a cloudy, rainy day.  The clouds parted for a just a couple minutes as the sun went down, helping add to the more vibrant colors that rain often brings.

Setagaya Springtime


Springtime brought blossoms and flowers to Vienna, Austria.  Going to Setagaya Park at 7:00 a.m. helped me avoid the crowds, but, unfortunately, I couldn’t avoid overcast skies.

Jordan River Temple

The Jordan River Utah Temple as dusk falls.  We were driving out of the parking lot after visiting the temple and had to stop to take a picture as the lights came on as dusk fell.  I wasn't expecting to take pictures, so I didn’t have a tripod and had to hope things would turn out fine with a handheld picture.

Spiral Jetty


The well-known piece of installation art in the Great Salt Lake known as Spiral Jetty.  I visited early in the morning and the site was quiet and peaceful as a sunny summer day dawned.  The drive through farmland and then the desolate but beautiful countryside was also well worth it.

Известная ленд-арт-инсталляция в Большом Солёном озере под назвением Спиральная дамба.  Я её посешал рано утром и это место было тихо и мирно пока рассветал солнечный летний день.  Тоже было очень приятно ехать туда через сельскохозяйственный район и затем через пустынную и красивую пустыню.

Church of Sts. Theodore


The Church of the Sts. Theodore in Mystras, Greece.  The clouds that provide such a nice backdrop here continued to amass and then unleashed during a summer thunderstorm that drenched us all.
