EUROPE
I have been fortunate over the years to had have wonderful experiences traveling. In Europe, excursions to Venice, Paris and Barcelona have offered particularly rich imagery. Here is but a sampling from these great places, all photographed in 2009; the digitally enhanced images were completed between 2012 and 2020.
VENICE
VENICE - SAN MARCO / 2009

There is wisdom in the old photographer’s adage — always take horizontal and vertical shots of the same image… you never know! Case in point, the image of Rio del Vin, above right, is the vertical version of the Venetian panorama below.
