Story: This day was the perfect day to explore the area near the Colosseum, the Forum and Palantine Hill. The blue sky with fluffy white clouds and the beautiful green of the tree tops made this walk breathtaking. History was unfolded and display right on front of my eyes. I loved it here.

Title: Dolomites
Story: On my way to Venice, Italy, every now and then I would peek out the window to see what was out there. As we were approaching our destination, I glanced out and saw these amazing mountain peaks that looked like miniature toy mountains. I was compelled to capture this moment.
Title: Cloudy Skies on the Canale
This photo was taken on the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy. I was fascinated by the clouds in the sky and the way light was diffused through them. I also like the balance of the water and sky in this photo.
Title: Glorious Doors

On the Road Again After leaving the beauty that is Matera, we headed out in our tour bus toward Naples. As we made our way through the Italian countryside, we passed many waterways and fertile green hills. All of a sudden, as we crest yet another hill, the Bay of Naples comes into view along…
Italy: Matera
First Glance Same Old, Same Old At first glance, Matera resembled an average Italian city: a piazza where both modern and ancient architecture abut; ancient churches next to government buildings; restaurants and gelaterias selling the most amazing smelling and tasting delicacies; and sculpted artworks highlighting an important point in the city’s history. A Most Pleasant…
