Echoes at Sunrise
This unique vantage point was found in collaboration with a fellow photographer. The bridge was designed by internationally renowned engineer David B. Steinman and Holton D. Robinson, of New York, the St. John's Bridge was the longest suspension-type bridge west of the Mississippi River at the time of construction. It is the only major highway suspension bridge in the Willamette Valley and one of only three major highway suspension bridges in Oregon.
Yaquina Bay Bridge
Yaquina Bay Bridge in Newport, Oregon. I love this bridge and there are so many ways to photograph it. This night shot is warm, it was a very warm spring evening. The light pollution worked well here.
Monochrome Yaquina Bay Bridge
The Yaquina Bay Bridge from the South Jetty. The light painted pillars really work monochrome. Playing with different techniques is fun and keeps my creativity flowing.
Sunrise over the Tilikum Crossing
Shot in collaboration with another local photographer. Tilikum Crossing is a cable-stay bridge across the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon. This bridge was a project by TriMet. The bridge also serves city buses and the Portland Streetcar, as well as bicycles, pedestrians, and emergency vehicles. Private cars and trucks are not permitted on the bridge. It is the first major bridge in the U.S. that was designed to allow access to transit vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians but not cars.

Vaux's Swifts
Every year in late August, one of Portland's most spectacular natural events begins: Thousands of Vaux’s Swifts gather in the city as they prepare to migrate to Central America and Venezuela. Migrating swifts often use chimneys as roosts (places to sleep), and they are likely to return to the same roost year after year. One population has been returning to Chapman since the 1980s, and it is one of the largest known roosting sites of migrating Vaux's Swifts.
Swift watching has become a popular activity at Chapman, and on many evenings, more than 2,000 people gather to watch these aerial acrobats. More information on this wonderful event can be found here.
Toronto Skyline from Ward's Islands
The Ward Islands are formerly known as Island of Hiawatha and also known as Menecing, meaning "On the Island" in the Ojibwa language.
These islands are located just offshore from the Toronto city center, and provide shelter for Toronto Harbor. The islands are home to parkland, the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, several yacht clubs, Centreville Amusement Park, and Hanlan's Beach. The island community is considered to be the largest urban car-free community in North America, although some service vehicles are permitted. Access to the Islands is by ferry, including the City of Toronto ferries operating from Jack Layton Ferry Terminal at the foot of Bay Street, or by water taxis.

Fall Colors at Cathedral Park
Cathedral Park is located under the St. John's Bridge on the East Side of the river. It was given its name due to the Gothic arches that support the bridge, which resemble a cathedral arch.

Magere Brug on a Fall Day
The Magere Brug is a bridge goes over the river Amstel in the city center of Amsterdam. It connects the banks of the river at Kerkstraat (Church Street), between Keizersgracht (Emperors' Canal) and Prinsengracht (Princes' Canal). The first bridge at this site was built in 1691 and the present bridge was built in 1934. Because this bridge was so narrow, it was called magere brug by the locals which literally means skinny bridge.
This major Amsterdam landmark is photographed both during the day and at night and until 1994 it was opened by hand. A pedestrian and cyclists only bridge since 2003, this bridge is now decorated with 1,200 lightbulbs.
Canal Boat Tour

Fall Vignette in Amsterdam
We arrived in Holland in the early morning. Walking through Amsterdam helped us keep jet-lag at bay. The fall tones were wonderful.
Arrival of Sinterklaas
The arrival of Sinterklaas from Spain to Amsterdam happened to be when we arrived. The celebration was free of zwarte piet as they were replaced by chiminey piet. A bit of history of the controversy of zwarte piet can be found here.
All You Need is Love
Love Me ... this is on the outside of the Cafe 'T Gasthuys. The canal boat rounding the corner made for a great photo opportunity.
Amsterdam Church Art
The door at Sint-Jozef in Amsterdam a relatively urban and modern church in this very old city.
Statue of Beguine
Statue of Beguine in Begijnhof. The courtyard retains a peaceful and sanctified atmosphere which is quite a dichotomy to the bustle and hustle of the streets of Amsterdam just a few feet away.
The beautiful houses overlook its well-kept courtyard, and include Amsterdam's oldest surviving house Het Houten Huis dating from around 1420.
Begijnhof Square Church
One of the churches in Begijhof - one of the oldest squares in Amsterdam. It is the only inner court in Amsterdam which was founded during the Middle Ages, and therefore lies within the Singel — the innermost canal of Amsterdam's circular canal system. The Begijnhof is at medieval street level, which means a meter below the rest of the old city center.
Medieval Stained Glass
One of the stained glass windows in the church in Begijnhof. Note the date.
Wall Art in the Begijnhof
On the adjoining walls of the Begijnhof, there is a fascinating collection of wall plaques with biblical theme. These were incredibly well preserved considering the age of this part of Amsterdam.
Street art in Amsterdam
Very colorful street art by the floral district in Amsterdam.

Munttoren at Night
The tower was originally part of the Regulierspoort, one of the main gates in Amsterdam's medieval city wall. The gate, built in the years 1480, consisted of two towers and a guard house.
The name of the tower refers to the fact that the guard house on side of it was used to mint coins in the 17th Century. In the Rampjaar ("disastrous year") of 1672, when both England and France declared war on the Dutch Republic and French troops occupied much of the country, silver and gold could no longer be safely transported to Dordrecht and Enkhuizen (where coins were normally minted), so the guard house of the Munttoren was temporarily used to mint coin.
It was recently restored and scale models of the tower are exhibited at Madurodam in The Hague and at Mini-Europe in Brussels.
Köln Dom and Bridge
Old and new meet in Koln Germany. The Dom was finished in 1322 and the Hohenzollern Bridge that spans the Rhine was finished in 1911. Best viewed full screen.

Street Art at the Palace of the Trade Unions
Palace of the Trade Unions in Vilnius New Town. Trade unions in the Soviet Union were controlled by the government. However, being "workers institutions" in a (supposedly) workers society they were important for propaganda, so their lack of power has been compensated by pompousness of their edifices. That's how Lithuanian trade unions received this massive Stalinist palace on one of Vilnius tallest hills.
In 2014, a Polish graphic designer, street art artist and designer Mariusz Waras decorated this building as of the international street art festival “Vilnius Street Art."

Happy Cat
Vilnius street art in the Russian part of the city. Shot very close to the infamous Putin/Trump mural.
Putin and Trump version 2.0
Putin and Trump mural in the Russian part of Vilnius by Mindaugas Bonanu. This was repainted after the original was tagged and "ruined" in August of 2016. It is unknown who tagged the work, but it happened as tensions arose between Russia and Ukraine, an ally of Lithuania. The original artwork painted in May 2016 takes inspiration from the infamous 1979 painting of Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev kissing the East German president, Erich Honecker. It was repainted to what I captured here in the fall of 2016.
Art imitates the artist?
This art was across the street from the Trump/Putin piece. I wonder if it is a bit of art imitating the artist? Or is it it a play on Trump? (note the orange hair)
Molen De Adriaan
One of a few remaining windmills in this little town and one of the only lit windmills in Holland.
De Adriaan burnt down in 1932 and was rebuilt in 2002. The original windmill dates from 1779 and the mill has been a distinctive part of the skyline of Haarlem for centuries. De Adriaan was rebuilt on the original foundation of the old windmill.
Windmill De Adriaan was reopened on April 23, 2002, exactly 70 years after the fire. The windmill is fully functional, and is capable of grinding grain. However, it is not often in use, but it is in use as a tourist attraction mostly on Saturdays and holidays. Inside the windmill is a small museum, and the interior can be seen.
Drommedaris at Sunrise
The Drommedaris at sunrise in Enkhuizen. This is one of the historic gates of the town. Building of this tower started in 1540 and fortified to what it is today between 1649 and 1657.
Over the centuries, the building was used as a storage of gunpowder, a prison (cells can still be found on the first floor), an tax office and as a telegraph office. The first exhibition of the Zuiderzee museum was held in the building in the summer of 1949.
At the end of the Second World War the building was severely damaged in a bombing at the nearby shipyard. The building was restored in the mid 1950s and and again between 2012 and 2015. Today, it is used as a cultural center and for special events.
Moody Dommedaris
Just a few minutes after we took the sunrise pictures of the Drommedaris the skies became dark and full of mystery.
From this vantage point, the Drommedaris is easily seen as the "entrance" to Enkhuizen from the IJsselmeer Lake which feeds into the North Sea.
Dutch Vignette in Enkhuizen
The marina next to the buitenmuseum in Enkhuizen. When I think of a village in Holland, I picture this. Enkhuizen has one of the largest marinas in the Netherlands.
Sailboats peeking over Buitenmuseum
Sail boats peeking over Buitenmuseum (outdoor museum) in Enkhuizen. The Dutch are great seamen and there is a long history of their excursions all over the world.
Dutch Bike
A Dutch bike in Enkhuizen begging to be captured. Cycling is a common mode of transport in the Netherlands, with 36% of the people listing the bicycle as their most frequent mode of transport on a typical day. The high frequency of bicycle travel is enabled by excellent cycling infrastructure such as cycle paths, cycle tracks, protected intersections, ample bicycle parking and by making cycling routes shorter, quicker and more direct than car routes.
In the countryside, a growing number of inter-city bicycle paths connect the Netherlands' villages, towns and cities: some of these paths are part of the Dutch National Cycle Network, a network of routes for bicycle tourism which reaches all corners of the nation.
Koeport in Enkhuizen
I fell in love with this small town in Holland. Enkhuizen was one of the harbour-towns of the Dutch East India Company, just like Hoorn and Amsterdam, from where overseas trade with the East Indies was conducted. It received city rights in 1355. In the mid-17th century, Enkhuizen was at the peak of its power and was one of the most important harbour cities in the Netherlands.
Old Shire Boom Reflections
Another view of Old Shire Boom - one of the fortified gates on on the edge of Enkhuizen. Enkhuizen was one of the harbour-towns of the Dutch East India Company, just like Hoorn and Amsterdam, from where overseas trade with the East Indies was conducted. It received city rights in 1355. In the mid-17th century, Enkhuizen was at the peak of its power and was one of the most important harbour cities in the Netherlands.
Old Shire Boom in the Fall
Oude Gouwsboom (Old Shire Boom) is the other fortified gate in Enkhuizen and was built in 1593.
These water gates are openings in a defensive town wall, where boats could go in and out on a waterway. The canal could be shut off with bulkhead gates coming down from the interior to keep out the enemy.
Boerenboom in the Fall
Boerenboom (De Boer Boom) is one of two fortified gates that protected Enhuizen on the "field" side of the city and were constructed in the 1590s.
These water gates are openings in a defensive town wall, where boats could go in and out on a waterway. The canal could be shut off with bulkhead gates coming down from the interior to keep out the enemy.
Zuiderkerk Tower Canalscape
Zuiderkerk Tower in the background of this canalscape in Enkhuizen. This tower is part of the Zuiderzeehaven or St Pancras Church which was a late Gothic hall church. The tower is 75 meters high and was completed in 1524 and was restored in 1992.
Enkhuizen Stadhuis
Stadhuis - the town hall was built in 1688 and is a fine specimen of Dutch classicism, and is still in use by the municipality of Enkhuizen.
This coat of arms was partially formed by map makers who expressed their artistic freedom during the creation process. The oldest known seal dates from 1361. The herrings stand upright. They symbolize the importance of fishing for the town. Besides the herrings the seal also shows two six pointed stars. The seal was used until 1478. A new seal was created in 1538 (which is pictured here). This seal shows the herrings placed horizontally on a shield. This shield - or escutcheon - is held by a woman standing on the side.
Enkhuizen Town Hall Charter
The book in this picture symbolyzes the rights granted by William V, Count of Holland to the citizens of Enkhuizen in 1356. This is part of the facade of the Town Hall (Stadhuis) of Enkhuizen and it was built between 1686 and 1688 as designed by the architect Steven Vennekool.
Reflections in Enkhuizen
Enkhuizen is a historic town in the Kop van Noord-Holland region. Enkhuizen has a picturesque historic center. The reflection here captures the lovely cobblestone streets and a bit of the cityscape.
House in Enkhuizen
Little building squished between the Zuiderkerk Tower and Zuiderzeehaven. Every inch of land was well used in Enkhuizen which sits below sea level as most of Holland.
House Reflections
A shutter and window of one of the houses in Enkhuizen. The reflection was a perfect mirror to the shutter.
Ritchie Grocery Building
The Ritchie Grocery Building is a historic commercial building at Front and Olive Streets in Texarkana, Arkansas. It is a two-story brick and masonry building with a flat roof and a parapet along the main facade. It was built in 1894 by Francis Mullins, owner of the Texas Produce Company, the first major grocery wholesaler in the city, founded in 1884. It is the only surviving Romanesque Revival building in downtown Texarkana, and has been owned by the Ritchie Grocery Company since 1926.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
Street Art in Texarkana
Arkansas Simple street art that may be missed by some is often fun to capture. I chose to leave this kitty cat three legged as it is part of the charm of it on this abandoned building in downtown Texarkana, Arkansas.
Yaquina Bay Bridge
A study of the pilings underneath the Yaquina Bay Bridge in Newport, Oregon. Inspired by a shot from a fellow photographer.
Reflections at Temple of Debod
This ancient Egyptian temple (dedicated to the goddess of ISIS) was dismantled and brought to Spain as a gift in 1968 as a sign of gratitude for the help provided by Spain in saving the Abu Simbel temples by helping UNESCO build dams to save other national treasures.
The temple was rebuilt near the Royal Palace of Madrid, and opened to the public in 1972. The reassembled gateways have been placed in a different order than when originally erected.This temple constitutes one of the few works of ancient Egyptian architecture that can be seen outside Egypt and the only one of its kind in Spain.
Almudena Cathedral Dome
This is the dome of the Almudena Cathedral as viewed from the Sabatini Gardens. The Sabatini Gardens are part of the Royal Palace in Madrid, Spain, and were opened to the public by King Juan Carlos I in 1978. The Cathedral is built on an old mosque site and final construction was not completed until 1993 when it was consecrated by Pope John Paul II. The facade of this cathedral was purposefully designed to match the Royal Palace.
Almudena Cathedral Peeking Through
This alcove intrigued me quite a bit. I think it really speaks to the close ties between the state and church in Spain.
The Almudena Cathedral which was completed in 1993 was designed to match the Royal Palace. Thus reinforcing the close ties between church and state.
This view was made even better with the clouds surrounding the area just made this shot even better.
Light play at the Palacio Real de Madrid
The corridors at the Royal Palace are wonderful and were fun to work to capture. As the sun was setting the shadows grew and the light kissed the bricks just right. This is a single shot and hand-held.
Home to the Kings of Spain from Charles III to Alfonso XIII, Madrid's Royal Palace takes us on a journey through the history of Spain. Though it is no longer the royal family's home, it continues to be their official residence.
Palacio Real de Madrid through the Gates
The Royal Palace in Madrid viewed through the fence which encompasses the Plaza de Armeria. The palace has 1,450,000 sq ft of floor space and contains 3,418 rooms. It is the largest royal palace in Europe by floor area.
The clouds were spectacular that day and it was fun to get my depth of field just right to capture both the fencing and the palace.
Santa Maria Basilica Street Art
Elche is the City of Palm trees where there are more palm trees that humans! Palm trees are inherent in all of the Elche traditions including a play called Misteri which is performed in the Elche Cathedral; these perfomances are thought to have started in the mid-1500s.
From the Visit Elche website: "With more than 200,000 palm trees, 50,000 of them in the town´s nurseries ready to be transplanted, the Palm Grove of Elche is the largest in Europe. Although, when viewed from a distance, it may appear to be a great forest, it is, in reality, a plantation with an agriculture purpose. Hence the plots of palm trees or their groupings are called "huertos" or orchards. Each of the plots is flanked by rows of palm trees, in such a way that, as seen from the air, they form a grid pattern. The terraces created within the plots have traditionally been dedicated to agricultural production."
Elche Street Art
Palm tree imagery all over Elche. This was on a huge wall on the path to the Basilica de Santa Maria.
Elche Weather Vane
Everything is Palm related in Elche and it is rather cool. This is the weather vane topper on top of the main dome of the Santa Maria Basilica. This was taken from the bell tower of the basilica.
The Magic Inside the Basilica De Santa Maria
Inside the Basilica De Santa Maria in Elche. This was taken at 3200 ISO on the second floor and across the church in almost pitch black conditions - hand held.
My goal was to capture Mary's ornate dress which is part of the Mystery Play of Elche that is performed within this church.
The Mystery Play of Elche, according to the Visit Elche website, is the most authentic symbol of the city's identity and it traces its history back to medieval times.
Icons of the City of Elche
The three icons of Elche in one picture: a Palm Tree, the dome of the Basilica De Santa Maria with the bell tower, and the Palacio de Altamira. All three have a deep and rich history and make Elche what it is today.
Oslo Coat of Arms
Before going on my long walk around Oslo after check-in, I got my bearings a bit and snapped this with my iPhone.
After a bit of research, I learned that this is the "Coat of Arms" for the City of Oslo. According to Wikipedia: "Oslo is one of very few cities in Norway, besides Bergen and Tønsberg, that has no formal coat of arms, instead using a city seal. However, the Seal of Oslo is officially regarded by the city government as its coat of arms. It depicts the city's patron saint, St. Hallvard. The seal shows St. Hallvard with his attributes, the millstone and arrows, with a nude woman by his feet. He is seated on a throne with lion decorations, which at the time was also commonly used in the seals of Norwegian kings. Around the circular image the city's motto is inscribed: Unanimiter et constanter (United and constant)."
Beauty in Black & White
Vigeland Park is an 80-acre facility that has a full museum and beautiful gardens full of granite and iron sculptures. This is one of the sculptures toward the entrance. This was a top probably a 50-foot pillar.
Vigeland Fountain Details
The detail in these sculptures was so fascinating. According the facility website, the artist molded all of these out of clay first - full size, then had artists create them out of iron or granite.
Colors at Vigeland Park
The colors at the park were just starting to turn. I shot this fast as I did not (by choice) have my tripod with me. The patterns in the water are really cool.
Gates at Vigeland
This gate at Vigeland, I'm sure, at one point led somewhere. I loved the colors that were just starting to pop!
Emotions at Vigeland
As the sun began to set, the clouds changed quickly. Little did I know that this would be the pattern in Norway. Compose quickly, otherwise, you may lose the cool skies.
Dramatic Clouds at Vigeland Park
The dramatic skies were a great background for this dramatic scene.
Sculptures at Vigeland
These three sculptures were very different from each other and really captured my curiosity. I could've spent at least a few more hours there if the museum had been open.
Lovers at Vigeland
The intensity in this sculpture against the dark skies was very intriguing to me.
Akershus Fortress and Oslo Harbor
Sheen, Donna and I walked the Oslo harbor. We had to take a few more shots. :) This is the Akershus Fortress.
Akershus Fortress
A close up of the Akershus Fortress. This was built in the 1290s to protect Oslo. It’s been used as a prison, as a royal palace and now, the eastern portion houses the Norwegian Ministry of Defense.
Oslo Water Fountain
This water fountain in Oslo changed colors and was fun to capture.
St. John's Bridge Sunset
This sunset was one not to pass up at one of my favorite bridges.
Designed by internationally renowned engineer David B. Steinman and Holton D. Robinson, of New York, the St. John's Bridge was the longest suspension-type bridge west of the Mississippi River at the time of construction. It is the only major highway suspension bridge in the Willamette Valley and one of only three major highway suspension bridges in Oregon.
