I have added a new Travel Photography Gallery. I took this image of Sydney Harbor on a South Pacific trip I took with my family. The Sydney Opera House is one of those beautiful places that you have seen in dozens of photographs. The challenge is to try and find a fresh perspective on something so familiar. It was cold because it was winter in Australia, and evening was just coming on. My family was getting hungry. If you are interested in seeing more travel photography please go here, or select Travel from the Galleries menu.
I was traveling through the Southwest with my family and at my Mom’s suggestion we stopped in the Taos Pueblo. This image of a woman selling something reflecting in the window of the mud house caught my eye.
Monument valley at sunrise is one of the most amazing sites I have seen. This is one of the fingers in the morning.

Peruvian girl dancing
Just after sunrise our bus stopped in Yanque a town on the edge of the Colca Canyon in Peru. There was a cadre of people dancing in the early morning light for the tourists. This young girl caught my attention as she danced with the Andes in the background.

Mother and her two daugthers in the village of Ek-Balaam, Mexico
At the Eco-hostel I stayed at, they had a walking tour of the village of Ek-Balaam. I met this family on the tour and stayed after the tour had moved on. The woman made tortillas as her daugthers helped. The little one fetched water from a communal water source. Lovely family.

Sunrise at the Grand Canyon
The light is magnificent at sunrsie. I remember watching the hawks soar on the early morning breezes and almost forgot to take the photograph.

Disney Concert Hall at Sunrise
Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles, from a slighty different perspecitve. I got there in the dark and as I watched the sunrise it revealed something more akin to a graphic image. Beautiful in its simplicity.
