Anyone who has ever visited the Amalfi Coast has determined to make a return trip. That’s the allure of this amazing part of the world. Little villages magically glued to the sides of rocky cliffs, brilliant blue ocean, lovely people, great food… Could you ask for more??
This is a twilight shot looking northwest over the town of Positano. I was in a bit of a hurry here – not because the light was perfect and I needed to make my award winning shot… no, the little cafe across the street was distracting me from my work with it’s incredible food aromas… One more shot then off to il Trattoria.
The tiny island city of Venice is full of captivating views… of course the best time to see them is often sunrise. This is Santa Maria della Salute, just as the sun is crawling up the sky.
Sleeping in is great – especially if you’re on vacation. But if you’re in Venice, make sure to see the sunrise at least once. You’ll be glad I made you do it!

One of those rare – and wonderful experiences. Cloudy all day long and at the last few remaining moments of daylight, the sun pops out from under the heavy cloud cover and creates an impossibly brilliant view.
This time I was in the middle of setting up for an evening Photo Tour Class when the sunlight hit the ancient architecture with the force of a tornado. Needless to say, the class instantly broke-up, everyone scattered to create photos for the 45 seconds of breathtaking beauty that we were treated to.
This is one of mine – there was certainly no time to set up a tripod, but pretty colors none-the-less:
