Wind-Blown

I took this motion photo on top of the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. It was an extremely windy day and the flag was blowing quickly in the wind. With the exception of the wind, it was one of the best days.

What is the Time?

This is the Clock Tower inside the Castle walls. Looking up at the Tower I was able to get this low angle shot with the sun behind the tower.

Wall of Strength

This high angle shot was taken looking straight down the wall on the gun terrace. Since the Castle is so old, you can see it has been growing plants for many years.

Greek Landscapes

This photo was taken on top of the acropolis looking out across the city scape. In the back you can see the landscape of the mountainous region stretching inland.

A place to Worship

This was one of the most grand and lavish churches anyone could ever see. This is St. Peter's in the Vatican City. The outside alone is enough to look at for days, but include to surrounding plaza and it is magnificent.

Roman Holiday

Still shot of the Colosseum from a closer perspective. I took so many pictures of the Colosseum that day, but none have been able to show what it actually felt like to see it.

When in Rome...

These soldiers were all part of the picture opportunities placed outside the Colosseum. It was five euros to get your picture taken with them. Their job was to stand outside and take pictures with the tourist. However, during their "slow" times many of them would just chat and smoke a few cigarettes.
