The beauty of the sunset is often blinding, so I have developed the habit of looking away from the sunset to see the splashes of gold, peach, and orange hues the sun casts over everything as it bids farewell and rushes on to brighten someone else’s life. From Kerry Park, Seattle, Washington.

After I finished shooting the Seattle skyline through the golden and blue hours, I was on my way to my car when I saw a monument with large circular holes in each side. There should be a picture here somewhere I thought. Then I saw this image and captured it.

At night the Dubai Creek is transformed into a kaleidoscope of color created by the lights and reflections. Many people come out at night for dinner cruises or to just take a relaxing walk along the creek after surviving the sultry daytime heat.

This yellow field along Alabama 431, somewhere between Oxford and Guntersville, was so beautiful I had to stop and make a picture. There were other fields with patches of yellow, but this one was almost uniformly covered with yellow flowers.

This old barn serenely rides the crest of a hill in Warrior, Alabama. I have photographed it many times of the past twenty years or more.  This time the colors were enriched by rain and the setting sun.

This Franciscan Chapel sits on the Mount of Beatitudes overlooking the Sea of Galilee. It is believed that Jesus spoke the Beatitudes from the mountain that this chapel sits on. This site on the Jesus trail is near Capernaum and Tabgha.

Is a visit to Israel on your bucket list? Make it happen. It will change you life!
