Wide-Angle Westminster
Last time I visited Westminster Abbey, I exclusively used my 24-120 zoom. This time I decided to go for wider views, and used the 14-24 zoom instead. Because Westminster Abbey is so heavily visited, unless you are standing right in front of something, any wide-angle view is going to have a lot of people in…

Castles and Towers
There is a dearth of proper castles in the United States, so they are always fun places for me to visit in Europe.

Unorthodox Locale
Two years ago, when we were driving to the Paint Mines Interpretive Park (the subject of this post) we passed a surprising sight: an onion-domed orthodox church. I didn’t stop to take pictures that day, but it went on my list of places to return to. This spring I finally did. The small church is…
