Salzburg

Salzburg - old meets new

This was taken near Getreidegasse, the expensive shopping alley in Salzburg.
The elements of this picture span many centuries -
Hohensalzburg Fortress (top)- 1077, airport signs - 1990something...
Now there's a bit of a difference!

View of the Kremlin

view of the Kremlin and a little bit of Saint Basil's - Moscow, Russia

I like this picture because it's one of the only ones I took that
shows the Kremlin AND Saint Basil's. It's also not shot from
a traditional angle, but it's my favorite distance shot I took.
Oh, and look at the pretty clouds!

Driefaltigkeitssäule Monument

Driefaltigkeitssäule Monument in the Linzer Hauptzplatz - Linz, Austria

This monument is in the main square of downtown Linz.
It was built in 1723, and the square itself dates back to 1230.
Most weekends in the summer there's a concert or exhibit held there.
In the winter it's home to the Christmas Market.
This was the first picture I took of Linz!

Keep your eyes peeled...

Собор Василия Блаженного #1

St. Basil's Cathedral - Moscow

This is the first of many photos to come of St. Basil's Cathedral.
I dreamt of seeing this since I was a little girl,
and needless to say, it didn't disappoint.
It was even more beautful in person than these photos can possibly show.

First Post!


This is my first post, so I decided to put up my first picture of Moscow to go with it!

This picture was taken with my cell phone, from inside my friend's car. It was my first glimpse of Red Square and the Kremlin. This was a very exciting moment for me. I wish that I had brought my camera with me that day, but at least I had my phone to capture the moment.

Many, many, many more pictures of these buildings will follow this one. And I certainly had my camera ready for them!

I hope that everyone will enjoy looking through my photos as much as I enjoyed taking them!
