Quick now, what’s the first city you think of when you think, “Danube River?”

Budapest
When we left off, I mentioned starting a new trip to Central Europe in a place that is considered one city, but you could consider being two cities. A few followers guessed at where that might be.
Continue reading “Budapest”Loose in Palouse
You’d think, after four posts and dozens of pictures in a series called “Loose in the Palouse”, that we’ve actually been to Palouse. But we haven’t.
How can that be? Have I been lying to you this whole time?

Sometimes, in a photography workshop, you need to get an early start. Like, really early. Early enough to travel to and arrive at a pre-scouted viewpoint well before dawn, so you can catch the sunrise and morning light that comes with it.

Finally.
After scoping out pyramid after pyramid, where the local jefes sensibly kept the mobs off of their ancient relics in the interest of preservation, as well as preventing some klutz from falling and bashing their brain pans in, I finally got to climb one of them.

Suppose you had a jones to retire in Mexico, wanted to do so in a city that had lots of things to do, but the idea of a city the size of Mexico City was just way too intimidating. Where would you go?
