The Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church in Berlin. While a new church has been built since this 1970 picture, the ruins of the old church were left as a reminder of the horrors of war.

Around the Ring

In this picture taken from the top of the Cathedral in Seville, the size of the bullring surrounded by the growing city is evident. The contrast is also.

At The Station

Inside the train station in Madrid. I was struck by the live plants and the lines and light through the ceiling. It was an active place.

Slow Motion

No, these aren't in the wild but in a tank at the Quarry Hill Nature Center in Rochester, MN. But they were so photogenic and just sat there looking at me.

Storm Brewing

I already posted this on my regular blog but wanted to get it over here, too, as I sometimes do with my pictures. Anyway, the line of storms was moving in with showers seen in the distance.

When Berlin Was Divided

The Soviet War Memorial in Berlin ended up on the West Berlin side of the Wall when it was built in 1960. I was there in 1970 and took this picture symbolic of the separation of that city.

One Year Ago Today (1)

Last year on Aug 3, I did the first 35 miles of the 60 miles for 60 years bike trip along the Pine Creek Rail Trail. The heron and the eagle were the center of the day. I made this collage at the time and re-post it for a one-year anniversary.
