K is for Estonian Art Museum The Eesti Kunstimuuseum (Estonian Art Museum) has one of the most photogenic facades. Thankfully I stumbled across this out-of-the-way museum while exploring Tallinn, Estonia. By converting this image into black and white, the architectural elements and stainless steel "K" in the foreground are pronounced. Ago vita vos somnium (live the life you dream)
Venetian Back-Alley Here, the hustle of Piazza San Marco is silenced. Here, the melodious sonatas sung by gondoliers are silenced. Here, the silence allows Venice's essence to be experienced. At the time of this photograph, silence was only broken by the lapping sounds of water gently breaking at a nearby canal. Numerous interesting restaurants, shops, neighborhoods, and architectural marvels lay off the beaten path of Venice's main attractions. Try venturing into the secluded walkways of Venice's backstreets, you will not regret it. Ago vita vos somnium (live the life you dream)
Skagit Valley: River of Flowers San Diego's bright sunny days remind me of my trip to Washington State. Seattle and the surrounding areas were inundated with cloud-cover for much of my visit, but my memories are glowing. The Skagit Valley's tulip and flower farms are one reason for my warm memories. A slow pace, peaceful open space, nice people, and thick rows of tulips stretching to the horizon are all reasons visitors to Seattle should venture one hour north on Interstate 5 to Skagit Valley's Tulip Festival. This photograph was taken just before dark clouds rolled overhead and let loose thick watery droplets onto the river of flowers. Ago vita vos somnium (live the life you dream)
