Dreamy photo paintings …
Bikes are everywhere in Amsterdam, and while most of them are well-used, a few are set aside as artsy relics, like the flower-decked version on one of the canal bridges.
SUMMIT COUNTY — OK, I’ll admit, I’m a Europhile, but I’ll blame it on my bi-cultural upbringing and leave it at that. Despite my affection for the “Old Country,” I fell in love with the American West when I first traveled here some 30 years ago and never left. But I still enjoy revisiting old haunts like Amsterdam every now and then, as well as discovering new locales. And obviously, I had some fun post-processing a few of these images. I usually post more images than this in the daily photo essay, but there’s so much to look at in each one of this pictures, I thought I’d leave at this.

A lot going on in this classic multilevel Naples street scene. Check out the pair of shoes on the stairs at street level. I only lightened up the shadows a wee bit in this shot to try and maintain the true colors of the city.
Mopeds and a toy shop in Corfu.
A stylized image of the old town square in Frankfurt, Germany.

Innovative energy underwrites coverage of energy stories.
The second photo, of the heart of downtown Luxembourg, the street[s] look as though they are flooded. Or maybe it’s just my old tired eyes again.
It was pouring rain, an intense summer thunderstorm! Leigh and I ran for cover, ducked into an open door, which turned out to be a convent
That explains it Bob, why your pics look blessed, and you share with all of us too. Thanks.
Thanks for the great images Bob.
Thanks John, I think of it as digital doodling!
