Sunset at Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
Palm trees with fish market sign east of San Juan, Puerto Rico.
The home of Mikhail Gorbachev, former Soviet leader, on The Presidio in San Francisco. Can be seen very well after coming off the Golden Gate Bridge south bound and driving along Mason street east. Spend some time driving around The Presidio grounds and Golden Gate Promenade for the history and the views of the Golden Gate Bridge. And don't forget to see Fort Point, UNDER the south end of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Sunset looking out on the San Juan Islands from Anacortes, WA.
Founded in 1699 by the Jesuits, later taken over by the Franciscan order, after it was destroyer by the Apache Indians, This is just one of the gates and does not show the massive size of this gorgeous desert mission.
This one of the of the 28 bronze panels that decorates the doors of the Florence Baptistry that resides in the Piazza del Duomo in Florence Italy. This panel is the Joshua panel and is located on the Gates of Paradise doors. The ten panels of the Gates of Paradise were created in 1425 and took 27 years to build. The panel in the picture is a copy of the original which were replaced in 1990 due to over 500 years of environmental damage. The details of the panels and the surrounding figures iare amazing. Some of the original panels were sent on tour in 2007 & 2008 and have since returned to Museo dell'Opera del Duomo. If you ever get a chance to see them, it will be well worth your time. One of the few copies ever made of some of the panels reside in Grace Cathedral in San Fransisco. If you look carefully you can see the soot that collects on all parts of the baptistry. Little wonder that the Piazza del Duomo has been closed to motor traffic.
Balmorhea State Park, Texas, spring fed swimming pool.
The famous Garden Court at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco. The garden setting is enhanced by the amber glass skylight roof filling the dining room with beautiful light.
This window was just off the main square in San Gimignano, Italy. The flower boxes really said "Italy" to me. The only thing missing was some laundry hanging out of the window. The photo was taken October 1, 2004 when we were on our three week dream trip to Italy. I added San Gimingnano to our list of places to visit since I wanted to see the medieval skyscrapers. I was not disappointed.
