This is from a park in Milan. I forgot the name of it, but like everything in Italian, it sounds like food.

Here is a church in Rome that I grabbed in HDR. The stained glass came out nicely. If you click on the image beneath it, you can see my entire set called Churches of Italy.

Over the weekend we hung pictures up at the gallery. Everything looks pretty sharp and those of you are coming to the gallery opening should see something a bit different, perhaps. I don’t know… impossible to be objective, but I do know it is different than what is usually shown there at Halcyon.
I’ll be showing about 45 pieces. Here is a sampling of the ones at the show. You will notice the first three are exceptionally pointy.
Dark Storm over Vancouver:

Intricate:

Spires of God:

Farewell Holland:

Fourth on Lake Austin:

This is Nathaniel:

Rush Hour in Seoul:

This is a crypt that was buried deep under an old church in Rome. I can assure everyone that this is one spot I was NOT supposed to be, and certainly NOT with a camera, and definitely NOT supposed to be listening on my iPod to 80’s pop tunes.

I have also put this in my Churches of Italy set. The picture below from the Duomo in Milan also links to that set if you have an interest.

This is Trenitalia in the Milan Train Station. I’ve taken this train all over Italy and it is really the best way to see the country. I highly recommend it over flying…

It was hard not to take a good HDR picture inside of the Duomo. I can’t really take credit for it…

Here is a variety of pictures I recently processed from Italy. These are from all over: Rome, Milan, Milan, and Naples, in that order.

The Italians work in slight different sorts of office buildings… okay not all of them, but some of them certainly do.

I’ve posted a few pictures of these, but the place was so scenic, I can’t help but post more.

Here is a set of some rather strange art I found in a forest in a hard-to-find and wonder-why-you-went-in-the-first-place part of Milan.

I found this interesting modern sculpture in Milan at night and I got a shot headed back towards the Vittorio Emanuelle.

Here is the north side of the roof of the Duomo in the evening light. The dark sky is from a tiny oncoming dusk rainshower.

Here is a collage I put together the other night about midnight when I could not sleep. This is an alternating series from the roof and the inside of the Duomo in Milan.

This shot of the Gesu Nuovo in Naples came out with incredible details. If you have high-bandwidth, check out this version.

Aren’t those lights cool? That is the real color of those lights… no photoshop trickery…

The top picture here is the Santa Maria Maggiore, the basilica that was across the street from my hotel in Rome. The second shot is from the interior of one of the side-chapels. The last is a little collage I made of my Churches of Italy set on Flickr.

This is the extremely bright, shiny, and colorful bar inside the Principe di Savoy in Milan. This is where the Rolling Stones stayed and brought a big group of aging roadies with them.

Here is a cool view from the top of the Duomo that looks rather surreal with the HDR treatment.
