London Silhouettes
In March we visited London for a few days as a stopover on our way to a family vacation in Rome. While I made a lot more images of Rome, I wanted to share the ones from London (and a few nearby places) before turning our attention to Rome. I always like to have a…

During my most recent stay in Huntsville, Alabama, I took a morning and drove down to Birmingham to photograph the long-closed Sloss Furnaces.

While you can’t climb on (most) things, the decommissioned…
