The National September 11 Memorial and Museum in Manhattan. These pools occupy the space once filled by the twin towers. The low winter sun brought out amazing colors following a rainy day to give this image some pop.

Salzburg is the fourth-largest city in Austria. In 2020, it had a population of 156,872.
The town is on the site of the Roman settlement of Iuvavum. Salzburg was founded as an episcopal see in 696 and became a seat of the archbishop in 798. Its main sources of income were salt extraction, trade and gold-mining. The fortress of Hohensalzburg, one of the largest medieval fortresses in Europe, dates from the 11th century. In the 17th century, Salzburg became a center of the Counter-Reformation, with monasteries and numerous Baroque churches built.
Salzburg's historic center (German: Altstadt) is renowned for its Baroque architecture and is one of the best-preserved city-centers north of the Alps. The historic center was enlisted as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996. The city has three universities and a large population of students. Tourists also visit Salzburg to tour the historic center and the scenic Alpine surroundings. Salzburg is also the birthplace of the 18th-century composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who is considered one of the greatest composers of all time.
Golden hour at Huntington Beach, California
A necessary trip to California seemed a good excuse to also spend a few days at the beach. With the cool and cloudy weather, on the first two nights there was no sunset to photograph. On Friday however, the clouds started to lift in the late afternoon and as evening approached, the sky and beach (and those intrepid swimmers who braved the very cold water!) were bathed in a warm golden glow.
A couple of streets away from the (not so pretty) flats in Zadar old town (see photo), was this wonderfully colourful wall with its quirky statuette.
Prato della Valle is the largest square in Italy and one of the largest in Europe. The square is surrounded by a canal and there are 78 statues along the canal ring. 40 in the exterion ring and 38 in the inner ring. This photo was taken early morning at the "blue hour". A time of the day that I really enjoy.
i hope that
whoever you are
wherever you are
and no matter how
you are feeling
you will always
have something
to smile about.

Shinjuku ~ Tokyo, Japan
"Golden Gai" is the name of an area in Shinjuku that has narrow streets full of tiny bars.
The St. Pauli-Elbtunnel, also called Alter Elbtunnel, is a tunnel built in 1911 for traffic under the Elbe in the center of the German city of Hamburg. The tunnel is almost 450 meters long and the bottom is 24 meters below ground level. To reach the tunnel tubes, four lifts have been installed on both sides of the river. The lifts take pedestrians, cyclists and cars from ground level to the tunnel and back.
I was on a walk (as a guest) with the photographer and friend Andreas Mundt.
“Architecture is life, or at least life itself taking form. . . the truest record of life as it was lived in the world yesterday, as it is lived today or will ever be lived.”

This is a picture of the escalators at the Canary Wharf underground station, which is part of the Jubilee line extension that was built in the 1990s and which was the last major underground rail project in London prior to the new Elizabeth line opening up in June 2022.
Both the Jubilee line extension and the Elizabeth line have been welcome additions to the rail transport system here in London. There is however one big difference between the two of them and that is the design of the stations. I was very much looking forward to the opening of the Elizabeth line, as I hoped they would provide as much innovative design as that which was shown in the Jubilee line extension stations.
The Jubilee line stations have provided unique and iconic photographic opportunities for photographers coming to visit London from all over the world. Here you have a shot of the amazing Canary Wharf escalators but also there are equally compelling photographic opportunities at Jubilee line stations at Southwark, Waterloo, and Westminster stations. All of them have unique elements to them that make them worthwhile to visit. The same can't be said for the Elizabeth line stations which from the ones I've visited are all of a uniform design consisting mostly of white tunnels. I know there are touches here and there which will make for a decent shot and I've got a few that I will post but honestly, how I wish they had let a few really visionary architects loose on at least a few of those new Elizabeth line stations.
C'est la vie, too late now.
I made the trip to my originally home county in Nebraska yesterday before headed to the concert in Kansas City, and stopped by this old huge brick house; oh yeah, it was heavy cloudy with a mix of snowing and raining all day.
I was a little boy, went out hunting with my dad a lot, nearly all over the County, but did not know this house existed. It was an exciting time for me to see.
My truck needs a bath soon. Seriously!! *Sigh*
This genuine Japanese dish will satisfy your taste buds. This part of fish is adjacent to the fish face. Spray lemon juice on it and experience the juicy, firm texture with the flavor of bit sourness and subtle sweetness.
I wandered almost all the countryside roads around me during pandemic, the scenery beside road is quite similar: trees, farmhouses, flat lands with green plants that I know nothing about it... ;) But I was surprised to find an abandoned tractor on the farmland... The sunset light shined on this red "fancy car", so attractive to me :))
