Brig O’Doon

We took a bus tour of the British Isles from July-August of 2003.  It was wonderful!  We drove thru Scotland and saw some beautiful places, including this bridge where the movie Brigadoon got it’s idea for the bridge scene.  Brigadoon was going to be filmed in Scotland, but because the weather is so unpredictable they shot it in the US in a film studio.

Beautiful Carousels

ca1d-0703-binghamton-60Binghamton, New York

From 1919 – 1934 George F. Johnson, a shoe manufacturer, donated six beautiful carousels to the City of Binghamton. George felt carousels should be enjoyed by everyone and insisted that there would never be a charge for a magic ride. While on a trip, visiting our friends Grace and Charlie in 2003, they took use to these 6 carousels, where I had fun taking photographs of them.

Golden Gate Bridge

The Bay Area has always been a fun area for us to visit.  Now that Craig’s parents have passed away, we don’t go there as often as we use to.  On this trip to California in 2002 we drove across the Golden Gate (a strait connecting the San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean) via the Golden Gate Bridge.

Vita Sul Rio

In 2002 we went to Venice, Italy.  It is such a wonderful place, I love the rivers, the boats and the unique things to see.  This ‘street’ is a perfect example of the unique  things to see!

Old Books

My sister LOVES books so, she collects them, particularly old ones.  I LOVE books so, I take photos of them, particularly old ones.  In 2002 we were at the Naples Museum and I saw these OLD BOOKS & I couldn’t resist taking a photo!

The Spanish Steps

When visiting Rome the Spanish Steps are a must, particularly in Springtime when the steps are covered with beautiful flowers!

Piazza Venezia

Piazza Venezia is a beautiful place to get some fun, unique photos!  It is also a very busy piazza full of people. By going to a corner I was able to get this photo people free.  I like the water coming off of the fountain and the Italian flags.

Trevi Fountain from the Side

Rome, Italy

It’s hard to get a good photo of Trevi Fountain because there are so many people around it! Having said that, once I went there at 2 am and there were hardly any people there!

Rome, Italy

One of the most well known fountains in the world, Trevi Fountain, is also one of my favorites. Legend says if you throw a coin in the fountain you will return to Rome, so far it has worked for me!
