Highgate Cemetery has been on our list of places to visit since our trip to London last summer. There wasn’t a super compelling reason why, it’s just one of those things that end up on your list. There are two parts to the cemetery, one which is much more restricted because of…
This week I’ve been very world weary. There is just too much going on in the world that seems like it shouldn’t. So as a distraction, I returned to my pile of SD cards and finally tackled going through more of my photos. This set is from my first vacation…
There seems to be a never ending supply of “Bank Holidays” here in the UK. I swear every couple weeks these people take the day off. I’m not complaining at all, but it seems a bit over the top. The baffling thing to me is that they seem to just…
As I mentioned in my post about Manor Hill House, there was another stately country home near Richmond to see. Ham House is situated on the banks of the River Thames, and was roughly across the river from Manor Hill House. There appeared to be two ways to get there. We could…
Coming across a sunny weekend here in London, it seemed appropriate to venture out and see something fun. So we set out across town by tube for Richmond, west of London. It’s a very pretty (and slightly posh) part of west London that neatly features the River Thames. Using our Art…

These are just a few spontaneous photos I took while passing through the central part of the city of Westminster—nothing fancy. It was one of what are now many strange moments where I looked around me and thought, “Weird. I live in London”. It’s incredible how small London is. Or…
This is a return visit to El Rancho de las Golondrinas. A living history museum south of Santa Fe. I took photos there back in 2012 as part of my Shadows of the Southwest collection. See that here.
During my summer trip to royal London, one of the sites I didn’t want to miss was the incredible Hampton Court Palace. Famously one of the homes of Henry the VIII (after he took it away from the bishop he had it fixed up for), the palace really feels like multiple…
I’ve seen the Queen. While visiting Windsor Castle, I saw the Queen as she left for Royal Ascot.
