One thing you’ll notice right away when arriving in Lisbon - the charming cobblestone pavements that accentuate the city. They give the streets a unique and artistic touch.

At first I was disappointed to not see the big waves in Nazaré, Portugal despite being the right season. But Nazaré has a lot to offer.

Dark clouds over the Louvre in Paris. Best part was we didn’t get soaked even though it looked like it would rain any second.

I didn't enjoy social media until I joined #Bluesky. Here I am free to explore a wonderful #photography community, my feed is endless beauty! I don't have to fight any algorithm that decides who I see, or who sees me. It gives me much joy, it makes me smile, I feel so inspired. I hope you too!

Morning and evening. I had a corporate photo shoot in NYC today so I took the ferry from Jersey City. Beautiful view in the morning and on the way home in the late afternoon.

We saw the Alps in the far distance during our trip to France this year. Photos like this guarantee that we’ll have to really visit them someday.
