Law of the West

Old law books line the shelves at the former Cochise County Courthouse in Tombstone, Arizona. The  Victorian era building has been operated as a State Historic Park since 1959.

Tuileries Color

Colorful flowers planted in the Tuileries park in Paris, France. Created by Catherine de Medicis, the gardens and park were opened to the public after the French Revolution.

Dance of the Orbs

The tree was photographed in Balboa Park, San Diego and a bokeh texture from Shadowhouse Creations was added. I liked the effect, which reminded me of 'ghostly' photos I've seen taken in graveyards or other spooky places.

Blue Mosque, Istanbul

From a photo taken in the Sultan Ahmet Park in Istanbul during a brief lull in the rain.

Boston Manor Stables

I took a photo of the stables at Boston Manor as I was walking through the park a few years ago. I was staying at a nearby bed and breakfast because it was conveniently located near Kew Royal Botanical Gardens and Heathrow on the outskirts of London.

Summer Days Journal

This image began with a photo from my London trip. I added a fancy mask and then decided to place it on a book texture from szantoszabolcs on the Flickr texture site. I added a lock and key to make it look like a diary and then a wine label.

Afternoon in the Park

An early summer afternoon in the Parc des Buttes Chaumont in Paris. The third largest park in Paris is located in a residential area of Paris in the 19th arondissement. You will find more Parisians than tourists here. The structure atop the hill in the background is the Belvedere (Temple) of Sybil, modeled after the Temple of Vesta in Tivoli, Italy.

Big Tree

This lovely, huge tree was in a park just down the street from the B&B where I stayed near Kew Gardens. Aside from the California redwoods, it's one of the largest trees I've seen.
