Taken with my iPhone 7 in July ’17. The bay was in the 50 degree range on one side and over 80 on the other. The result is the amazing fog created by the collision of temperate and humidity change.

Norton Point was closed to drive-on traffic this 4th of July due to the nesting of the Plovers so the usually busy guard shack was abandoned.
This was taken with my iPhone 7 Plus which I find to be an outstanding point and shoot camera. I did a little B&W editing on my phone so what you see is 100% produced on the iPhone.

Recently I spent some time with David Ferguson (my father-in-law) shooting NYC from the Brooklyn Bridge Park. David is an avid and talented outdoor photographer and had this shot on his bucket list so I tagged along and took a few images of my own.
It’s amazing to me that Brooklyn has such a spectacular park and with such an incredible view of NYC. This is one of the many must see spots in NYC.
This image was taken at ISO 100, 30MM, f9.0 at 30 seconds on my Canon 5D mkIII using a Canon EF24-70mm 2.8 lens.

While in Tuscany this summer we spent a few hours walking around Siena . A spectacular Tuscan hill town, Siena is a wonderful walk through the middle ages.
These ancient iron rings are throughout Siena. Used to secure your horse (or other animal) while you did business in town, they are so well used that indents from the ring striking the wall can be an inch deep. If you look closely near the bottom of the ring you can see the impact of several centuries of use.
It will be no surprise to you that I immediately thought of my grandfather and his spectacular work horses when I saw these rings. I could imagine his delight at the utility and workmanship of these devices as he tied his horse outside of a pub or general store.
At the top of one of Siena’s (many) hilly and narrow streets we found this amazing mercato.
As with all of the other images on this blog, these pictures were captured with my Canon GX1 point and shoot and edited in Lightroom and Photoshop.

Sometimes the street is a wonderful place. While walking the grounds of the Louvre I encountered this special soul.
