The Metropolitan Opera House As Seen From the Lincoln Center Plaza

This is a view into the front window on the left side of the Met....focusing on the Chagall painting which can be so beautifully seen! However, it is also the reflection of the building across the street....it makes it look as if the dancers are dancing on the roof!!

A Reflecting Pool in Yosemite National Park

As it says in the Title - the right side 'busier water' due to an elk quenching his thirst as I was photographing the pool!

The Firth of Forth Bridge, Taken From South Queensferry, Scotland

The first ever steel bridge! I think it was built in the 1890's....I will look up the exact date! The bridge actually extends from South Queensferry, Scotland to Edinburgh...and I was staying in South Queensferry - in a bed and breakfast right on the shore....meaning an uninterrupted view of the bridge from my room! This was a long exposure and was tripod mounted.

The right side of the front of the Metropolitan Opera House in NYC, NY...

As with the first painting on the left side, the second Chagall painting showing through as well as the building from across the street - being refracted and blending with the painting. I never thought I'd be able to capture these photos, and am very pleased with the result!

The inner courtyard of the Amalfi Cathedral once again!

Straight lines and curved ones....columns and archways, light and darker gold and brown, earth tones and heavenly tones - especially with the sun on them. What are all the ways that contrast can be shown!? And how many ways can the dfferences between us and the best of the spiritual be identified and emphasized! It all seems symbolic and thus - very significant....

Interior Courtyard of the Amalfi Cathedral in Amalfi, Italy

Some very creative architecture here. The palms interact in a beautiful way with the walls and columns themselves! Also the interior windows...

Looking Down Towards Folkestone, UK

The trees were really growing that way. If you don't believe me - check out the horizon and then the trees again!

The rock wall on one side of the river flowing away from the Gullfoss waterfall in Iceland.

I think that there is opal in those rocks. They are translucent and really beautiful...whatever is in those stones!

A part of the ruin of the Bethlehem Steel Stacks....how long will it last?

Fascinating and quite beautiful in an odd sort of way...

The perseverance of NATURE! The little birds flew in just as I arrived!

This totally captured me! The desiccated ruins of the Steel Stacks on top of the little tree - growing out of the concrete! - and signalling the rebirth of spring....and nature at her most persistent!
