Venice :: Queen of the Adriatic
Called the Queen of the Adriatic, Venice has a setting that no other city in the world can rival. It is a network of rii (streams), canali (canals) calli (streets) and campi (squares). The richness and charm of Venice does not derive solely from the presence of significant works of architecture and art (Bellini, Tiziano, Veronese, Tintoretto, Palladio, Sansovino, and many others) but also from the general layout of the city and its way of life. “The rules change in Venice,” I

Mysterious Moon
The mysterious moon. The full moon with rays casting shadows as if it were day. The illuminated rays stretch from the heavens across the lands below. I close my eyes, and travel.

Only a handful of places in the world have formations like these. I know all too well they are not easy to climb. I tried

A Bird’s Eye View of Elephant Butte
Flying high above Elephant Butte offers a delightful study in contrasts. The lake’s stunning cobalt-blue water strikes my eye as if a painter had left masterful strokes on the desert floor below. Draining into the once mighty Rio Grande, the blue water sends out tendrils in brilliant complex shapes, like veins. The colors vary splendidly in pastoral shades of green and yellow where water nurtures the conspicuous vegetation clinging to life at its banks. Have Van Gogh o
