aahhhh, the English language without the funny accents


I'm finally back. Of course my body is still on CET and I was wide awake at 4am. I'm sorting through all of the pictures from 2 weeks abroad. There are some keepers. An example -->> Have to PS out the CA in the upper left...but you get the gist I hope. I'll put up a small gallery on my main page later today.

enjoyed the Vienna Natural History Museum today


...and my feet are killing me. I use a pedometer (part of my employers healthy incentive program) and logged over 11,000 steps today .

Managed to get a few good pictures too. Not many though. I basically took a lot of the inside of the museum to send to my daughter for her enjoyment.

A nice surprise


What is a bit disappointing is that Vienna is quite a bit more cold than when I was here early in February...must be the "zee Germans". No shortage of warm and friendly people however.

The nice surprise is that we had a wonderful snow storm yesterday morning and it made for some very nice scenery. Unfortunately I had to work and could only snap a few pictures before leaving my hotel.

the life of the roving photographer...


er...amateur photog that is...

After 10,000 steps on my pedometer in the pouring rain and about 87 images i am ready for a stiff drink and a comfy pillow.

Dinner in my hotel in Vienna. Spinach lasagna from a street vendor and the original Budweiser from my mini-bar FTW! And leave it to the Austrians to ruin lasagna by adding garlic!?!?!?! Yuck!

Oh and James Bond: The Man with the Golden Gun is hilarious when dubbed in German. Brit Ekland in a bikini is great no matter what the language.

Gruss Got!

And I am off to Europe again for the 3rd time in less than 2 months. I'm not complaining. I have a weekend in Vienna do yet more exploring and photographing. Looking forward to it since it's supposed to rain most of the week and get sunny on the weekend - yeah for me!

Two new galleries for your enjoyment



I managed to get a few hours to do post processing on some recent photos from Long Island and Vienna Austria from trips in February.

Hope you enjoy the images.

This is why life passes by so quickly


Because sites like this from my vantage point occur so frequently. I'm not complaining. I'm rather lucky in that I love my career and enjoy the travel that's required. But when I look back on the past 2 months it just fly's by so quickly...no pun intended.

This past week I managed a first; 3 countries in less than 2 days. I launched from Brussels on Thursday morning and took a train to Paris. That evening I flew over to London for a meeting the following day :wipes brow:
