Recuerdos De La Alhambra
It’s been 10 years since our first visit to the beautiful Alhambra Palace in Granada. Last time we visited in late October and the heat was not so challenging. This time, we chose to go on a 3 hour guided tour so there was not so much time for photos, nor opportunity, given the crowds…

Over the years I have balanced spending money on equipment, travel, models, and other project needs, with time available to research the best options. Inevitably, I tend to try make informed…

San Gimignano, first impressions…
We’re on a family vacation this week, our first ever visit to the Tuscany region of Italy. Staying just outside the beautiful town of San Gimignano, I couldn’t help but take the camera out every chance I’ve had so far. No point in describing it, I’ll just show some images in the gallery…
