Black top, red rocks

It’s fun when someone else is driving … otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to snap these shots.
The first two were shot on the approach to Sedona, Arizona, from the south.
The third was taken in ranch country east of Prescott Valley, after coming down the winding, hilly road from Jerome, Arizona, on the long route back to Phoenix.
Thanks to my sister for her excellent piloting on this beautiful Saturday back in November.

Where I create, there I am true

Even at construction sites, the graffiti aficionados of Munich seem to only pick the best ideas for use in defacing temporary walls. Spotted back in September.

Strolling amid showers

Here’s a neat little below-grade shopping district in the heart of Rotterdam. This image was shot back on a very short visit there in September.

Garden of glass 2

Visiting Chihuly Garden and Glass in Seattle is like immersing one-self in an other-worldly experience. So many delicate pieces of glass art created in funky shapes and bathed in just the right kind and right amount of light … it’s almost magical.
Snapped these images back in November.

Scorpion's tale

Spotted this piece of public art in Phoenix, Arizona, last month, near all the sports stadiums. I never did figure out what all the little figures are actually trying to do with the giant scorpion …

Face of Fine Arts

Here’s one of the many faces staring down from the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. Snapped on a stop-over visit last month.

All dressed up

Passing through San Francisco in a series of long layovers last month, I came upon the Ferry Building, all decked out in lights, presumably to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Panama-Pacific International Exhibition.
