Sailing Along

Saint Mary of the Rosary is an 18th century Dominican church in the Dorsoduro district of Venice.

Dresden Trio

The beautiful architecture of Dresden, as seen from our hotel across the Elbe River. I've added a watercolor texture.

Ornate

The intricately beautiful details sgraffiti on the facade of  one of the three most important buildings in Barcelona's "Block of Discord." Casa Amatler was designed in the Modernisme style for the chocolate magnate Antoni Amatler and built around 1900.

Dutch Parliament

View of the Binnenhof and the Dutch Parliament buildings on the Hofvijver lake.

Flag of the Tower

A building near the Piazza del Campo in Siena displays the flag for the Torre (Tower), one of the districts (contrade) which race in the Palio.  Established in the Middle Ages with flags which represent an animal or symbol related to their history and heraldry, only 17 of the original 59 remain.

Sunny South of France

The warm hues of Menton's architecture rise up from the Mediterranean. This is a wonderful town, not far from Nice, but very pleasant and it seemed much less touristy. I wouldn't mind living here!

Old with the New

Amsterdam is a city of contrasts, a place where you can take in historic architecture and picturesque canal scenes punctuated by the occasional modern building or art installation. It all works together.

Thames River Scene

This image was taken along the Thames River in London several years ago. I've added a painterly texture.

Onofrio's Fountain, Dubrovnik

Designed by Italian architect Onofrio della Cava and built in 1438, the fountain has delivered spring water to the citizens and visitors of Dubrovnik for centuries.

London Museum

This is the entrance of the marvelous Museum of Natural History in South Kensington, London. This ornate terracotta facade, built in 1881, was typical of high Victorian architecture. The interior of the museum has atmosphere to spare. Standing on the stairs of the main hall gives the illusion of being caught in one of those impossible M.C. Escher images. I've added several textures for a grunge effect.
