I’ll leave that to the viewer. Please click on image for a better view. Click here for my Solo Series Taken at St. Sebaldus Church in Nurnberg Continue reading Odd Couple 38/Photo Op

The following information is taken from http://www.prague.eu which I’m assuming … Continue reading Church/In Old Town Square
Paula’s Black and White Sunday is Towering. Please click on images for a better view. The Hassan Tower in Rabat, Morocco was intended, in 1195, to be the largest minaret in the world along with a mosque, also intended to be the world’s largest. But the Sultan died and construction stopped. The tower reached 44 m (140 ft) only half of its intended height. The rest of the mosque was also left … Continue reading Black and White – Towers

Lismore Castle sits on the banks of the Blackwater River in Waterford, Ireland. Rich in history, it was built in 1185 and was originally an abbey where Henry II was known to have stayed. Later in the 16th C it became the property of Sir Walter Raleigh, who sold the property when he was imprisoned for High Treason to Richard Boyle, 1st Earl of Cork. In the 17th C it was … Continue reading Castle/Lismore
This is the door to Maria and Michael’s dwelling in St. André in southern France. They lived in an old winery they had converted. The front exterior was unchanged without indication of the delightful spaces they had designed inside. In addition to their own living space they carved out an apartment as well, which we rented for a couple of weeks so we could explore … Continue reading Door/10 – St. André
Take a centuries old castle and perch it on the rugged Antrim coast of Northern Ireland, add some dramatic skies and you have my kind of scenery. The first written record of Dunluce Castle was in 1513 when it was in the hands of the MacQuillan Family. It sits in a position of power high on the basalt cliffs between Portballintrae and Portrush. Later it became … Continue reading Castle/Dunluce

Said to the the oldest general store still operating in Canada. Built in 1840, the store still has the wood floors and original wooden counters plus antiques used by the original owners. I didn’t take any shots inside so I have to go back and do so. It will make a nice Sunday drive. Paula’s Thursday Special: Traces of the past 03 Continue reading Door/8 – The General Store

Chiesa di San Salvatore in Venice Stacy sponsors ABFriday at Visual Venturing My original photo (below) was underexposed and overrun with tourists but the door to this church was magnificent. I wanted to highlight it and play down the unavoidable people. I cropped it, despite that wonderful lighting at the top of the door and then used paint to eliminate some of people. I adjusted … Continue reading ABFriday: Venice
