Black Madonna

This is the House of the Black Madonna in Prague. The building is famous for its cubist design. I personally also like the windows which provided a very nice reflection of the sky. Photo taken in July 2006.


Do you like it better in color or black and white?

Spiny lobster

We were lucky to get a great photo of this dude while snorkeling in Key West. Photo taken in May 2010.

Trevarez

Trevarez Castle in Finistere, Bretagne. The red brick structure is not typical of the region, but it's a gorgeous structure. The gardens are also magnificent. Each spring they host an azalea/rhododendron festival - it's spectacular!

Photo taken in June 2000 with an old point-and-shoot and scanned.

Funny sign

Even the bathroom models sport their Aloha-wear proudly in Hawaii! Photo taken in the Honolulu airport, January 2010.

Football fever

Football is as popular in Berlin as in any big European city. These were the crowds heading to see Hertha play in April 2009.

Japanese bridge

The Honolulu airport has a beautiful Japanese garden inside the secure area. It was refreshing to be able to wait for our flight in such beautiful surroundings. I'm not sure that many people knew about this gem of a garden though as it was pretty empty. Just more for us to enjoy! Photo taken in January 2010.

Brille laden

I really liked this optician's shop window. It's like a cross between glasses seller and gallery! Photo taken in Birmingham, Alabama in May 2009.

Unconditional Surrender

The famous statue in San Diego. It really is quite impressive, this photo doesn't exactly give an idea of the scale. Photo taken in February 2009.

Barcelona port

Photo of the port of Barcelona from the cable car. Taken in December 2005.

View from the rental

This is the bridge from San Diego proper over to Coronado island. I took this quickly from the rental car as we were speeding past. There really wasn't a good place to stop for a picture. I think the car window makes for an interesting frame though.

Boardwalk by night

The Disney World boardwalk area reflected in Lake Buena Vista by night. My husband and I will be back in August. My employer is an "official" partner of Disney and I recently won an employee drawing for a Disney Cruise / Resort vacation. I'm really looking forward to it!

Photo taken in January 2008.

Douarnenez 2000

This is an old scanned photo from the Douarnenez 2000 sailing festival in Finitstere, Bretagne. The festival is held every two years and it's wonderful to see all the beautiful sail boats. I was lucky to get some sun reflecting off this one.

Photo taken in July 2000.

A beachy area in Casablanca. My husband and I did a transatlantic cruise for our honeymoon and this was one of the stops.

Photo taken in December 2007.

Brasilian beach

Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of this beach. I do remember that it was fantastic though!

Photo taken in January 2007.

Gulf beach

One of the beautiful white sand beaches of the Florida Gulf. Pre-oil spill, obviously. Photo taken in May 2007.

Rennes plage

In Paris they set up a beach on the banks of the Seine during the summer. Rennes tried their own twist on summer fun by setting up chaises longs on the main square for residents and visitors to enjoy!

Photo taken in August 2005.

Acrrobridge

A bridge from a ropes course in the Parisian region. I didn't actually cross this one. It was too scary for me! Photo taken in November 2006.

Berlin house

A typical house in Berlin. It belongs to my mother-in-law. Photo taken in April 2009.

Rennes flower market

I used to live in Rennes where they have a spectacular Saturday market. You could purchase most everything under the sun: fruits and vegetables, fresh fish and seafood, meats, cheese, crafts and... flowers!

Photo taken in August 2005.

Arkansas bridge

This is a bridge over the Mississippi River between Mississippi and Arkansas. We took it on the way to Oklahoma City in December 2009.

Since this bridge has generated so much interest, I thought I'd add that this is the Benjamin G. Humphreys Bridge which is located on US Highway 82.

Berlin wall victims memorial

Unfortunately, this memorial is no longer there. The land was sold to a developer who ordered the removal of the crosses. I'm glad I got a picture before it was gone. It was a nice way to remember those who died trying to get over the wall.

Photo taken in May 2005.

Potsdamer Platz

A black and white view of the famous Platz in Berlin. Photo taken in May 2005.

NYC statue

Taken in the Columbus Square shopping center in June 2009. It appears one part of his anatomy is quite popular. (I admit, I touched it too!).
