Catching Rays in Rabat

Leaving the Kasbah in Rabat, I happened upon this beach scene which just appealed in terms of shapes and the contrast of values. In addition, the Moraccan gentleman enjoying the Rabat beach scene in full dress from under an umbrella created a composition that begged to be captured.

Santorini II

From a cafe' overlooking the flooded crater that anchors the many cruise ships that visit I was presented with a view of Santorini that took my breath away. Photographs do not do it justice as the camera is blinded by all the white of the whitewashed buildings. There is a vibrant sense of color that infuses Santorini. It is as much a feeling as a vision.

Separated by a Common Language

Gibraltar was a pleasant surprise. The history is rich, the people warm and engaging. Walking along Main Street you definately get a sense of Britain. Getting directions, one would assume, would be a snap. This scene captured the truth of England and America being a people separated by a common language.
