Chinatown in London, England

These lanterns hanging over the streets of London’s Chinatown add an extra splash of colour. Spotted this back in September 2016.

(Also … Happy Year of the Rooster!)

Looking over the square

A view of Munich’s Viktualienmarkt and beyond, seen from the tower at St. Peter’s Church  in Munich. Another photo from my 2015 visit. (And I was into post-processed vignetting at the time, for some reason.)

Old wall

This tower along part of the old town wall protecting Oberwesel, in Germany’s Rhine River valley, now serves as someone’s home. Snapped this image while visiting in September 2015.

Bacharach, Germany

As you wander around towns big and small in Germany’s Rhine (Rhein) River valley, you’ll see vineyards everywhere — some commercially productive, some uncultivated. There are even grapes growing randomly along public walking paths. Snapped this image when I visited the town of Bacharach in September 2015.

Lichtgitter in Raum

This is what you see when you stick a camera underneath an art display hanging from the ceiling. Captured at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam back in September 2015. The work of art on view here is Lichtgitter im Raum by Heinz Mack.

At one with the animals

What a cute place to sit and relax! Spotted this in a park in Budapest, when I visited there in September 2015.
