First Edinburgh Rays It was refreshing to breathe soothing cool air after traveling for the better part of an entire day from humid Venice, Italy to Edinburgh, Scotland. This is the first view I had of Scotland once off of a vehicle. The deep blue sky and the sun's warm rays were a welcome reminder that every long travel day culminates in new experiences.

Louvre, Pyramid, & Water Sometimes photographers get lucky and other times we work hard to get the shot. This photograph was a combination of the two. I was out shooting with my Nikon when other people were eating dinner and enjoying Paris' nightlife. Hanging around the Louvre at the "right" time was key. I was lucky because virtually all the Parisians and tourists cleared out of the Louvre's courtyard. The resulting image is near absent of people, save for a few shadows and blurry figures in the distance. Diligence put me in the right place to take advantage of my surroundings, and what wonderful surroundings they were. Ago vita vos somnium (live the life you dream)
