Solo Travel - Stories, Gear/Tech Reviews, Tips and Pics
I’m not sure how long the term “selfie” has been around? We’ve probably all done our fair share of these self snapped pics of ourselves in some type of shape or form over the years. Be they alcohol induced or not… It’s been fun, but the “selfie stick” has taken the childlike fun out of […]
Pico Mountain Poma Line I was up skiing recently in Vermont at Pico Mountain with a friend of mine who’s a regular on the mountain. We were both in the mood for some tree skiing and his inside knowledge of the mountain provided some interesting options. After taking the lift to the summit we traversed a […]
I am visiting Malaysia this week with the majority of my time in Kuala Lumpur. It was a beautiful day and I decided to seek out KLCC Park to go for a jog and have a respite from the urban jungle. Although I knew I was close to the towers, about 1km into my run […]
Amsterdam at Night Forget what you may have heard about Amsterdam’s Red Light District, aka RLD. It is one of the most beautiful places to see and even more picturesque at night. A mass infusion of old world architecture meets new world culture. The progressive thinking has given the RLD its current fame but […]
I was in Prague this past week and eager to get some shots at nighttime. As I approached The Charles Bridge it wasn’t dark yet but the view I was able to capture looking towards the castle really showed some vibrant hues.
I spend a lot of time out on the waters of Long Island Sound. It allows be to capture some spectacular sunsets and vibrant sky colors. Now that summer is officially over I’d like to share some of my favorites that I’ve been lucky enough to snap.
Everyone knows I love a good sunset. I usually capture some great ones out on the ocean. Here I was in The Old Town Square in Prague. Anyone who has been there knows how beautiful it is day or night. As many times as I’ve been to Prague and taken countless photos, I’d never been […]
Lighthouses from the Northeast Happy fourth of July! As summer is in full swing I thought I would share one of my lighthouse/sunset pics. This one is taken from Gardiners Bay looking north to the Connecticut coast. It is not often this time of year when the sky colors are just right and I am […]
I was walking around Bangkok during the rainy season when the weather can never seem to make up its mind on what it wants to do. A very brief light shower quickly gave way to a spot of sun and a rainbow creating an almost outer space feel.
I pass this lighthouse on the job everyday. This gives me the opportunity to get some great shots. This one was taken about ten minutes past sunset last night and had some impressive hues.
I was visiting the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago with my brother and nephew when we came across this frisky pair of turtles. Lucky for me I didn’t get the “what are they doing” question from my young nephew! I thought this would give everyone a laugh and give the whole “pic of the week” a […]
I am no photographer. If I am able to capture an awesome image it is because the landscape is beautiful and the camera did all the work for me. In comes the Canon PowerShot . I prefer the point and shoots just for my limited photography skills. We can’t all be Ken Kaminesky, though it’s […]
I had booked a hotel in the historic area of Istanbul with a rooftop terrace. After checking in late at night, I was anxious to head up and see the view. After a few minutes of admiring the lights of the harbor entrance I turned around to a stunning view of the Blue Mosque. Sultan […]
Or is it Basilica Cistern…? I’ve seen it both ways. I had already visited the “Blue Mosque” as well as Hagia Sophia and was eager to see more. The Cistern Basilica is just a couple of minutes walk from Hagia Sophia and only costs 10 TL. The entrance is modest and easy to miss but […]
I was in Budapest last week with my friend Andi from Serbia. We were out walking around looking to get some good pictures of Budapest at night. This shot taken from the Buda side on a very cold night illustrates just how beautiful Budapest can be during the night.
