I have been lucky to have have seen wonderful, strange, and sometimes just odd things, places and people. Some left me in awe of nature or artistic talent or the abilities of the human brain.

Peacock in the castle ground in Lisbon, Portugal. Sticks and stones on the shore of Lake Erie near … More The View from Above – Shooting Down
