Many of us usually tidy up the house during the month of December, it is like a ritual in which we seek not only to clean some spaces thoroughly, but also to get rid of useless things or things that we

Good morning Hive In today's post I will show you interesting benches for sitting in the park in Burgas everywhere having old boats made on benches. Beautiful view and quite original invented how to use

A night on the town... Roman Bridge (Ourense - Galicia - Spain)

New building on the busiest street in Zürich

Timing It took me awhile to take these shots. The puddle was in the road, and traffic and bikes kept coming by. The puddle was made of coffee, but shh, that's our little secret. The stop light down the

Getting the Right Image I'm always on the lookout for some good light. This season, with the long shadows at dawn and dusk, provides so many beautiful vignettes. A simple walk to the train can be interrupted

Standing, bleary eyed, on the train platform in the biting cold. I look up and see this beautiful light. The train is coming. I take out my phone and take three shots. The train arrives, and I set out

I started this painting on April 11, and worked on it for several months before putting it aside for awhile. In that time, I painted three other paintings. I guess it was two months, so three paintings

Biking to South Station the other day, I stopped to take a turn and saw this puddle at the corner. The sun is really low early in the evening, and makes the lovely gold tones I like so much. Makes for

New England mill towns have many large factory buildings in need of renovations and new uses. In the dilapidated downtown of Brockton, Massachusetts, these are being converted into residential spaces.

I have a lot of fun playing with perspective and the illusion it creates of vast landscapes between a here a there that are both so near. This undulating rivulet could almost be flowing over a rocky outcrop

What’s south of South Street? I don’t know, but by the smell of it, I’d say low tide. Considering this was once a tidal estuary, I’d be right. Phewy! But in this shot the tide is in and it’s calm seas

There is a large, iridescent, sparkly mesh hanging over the entrance to Downtown Crossing from Park Street Station. I think they just put it up, but I’ve seen it before, somewhere. Today I noticed it there

I take a lot of reflection photos. I mean, obviously! But what you see is but a fraction, the tip of the iceberg, the cream of the crop. What does that last one even mean? Anyway, here is a sampling of

Got this neat shot today biking in Beacon Hill. I really enjoy the warm brick reds in the morning light. People just waking up and venturing out into the street. The breeze made for a less than mirror

One of my favorite neighborhoods is Beacon Hill. It is such an odd mix of old and new, of high class town homes and seedy tenements. Some of the oldest and nicest homes in Massachusetts are here. I especially

Forgot I took this last week. Cycling past, I noticed a glint of yellow peering up at me through the willows. The reflected leaves of the Storrow Drive tree line brightens up an otherwise dreary day. The

It's always nice to be able to capture a great #nofilter photo, but if you always wait until lighting conditions are perfect, you may be limiting your options for a lot of great shots. Often I will take

Passing by, I didn't think there were any puddles to catch this beauty in Boston Common. But then I found one! It's the Parkman Bandstand, a structure erected over the old cow pond in the Common. The pond

I put some finishing touches on this earlier today, including the clouds and the highlights on the yellow curtain. I may do some tiny adjustments before signing it, but I'm really happy with how it turned
