Travel Photos
Photography is a passion for me. It allows me to change my perspective, see the beauty in the everyday, “focus” on the moment at hand. It provides a sense of purpose to my other great love, travel to distant lands and cultures, as well as more local jaunts just roaming around my “back yard” of New England.
The photographs featured on this site span every ecosystem: tropical islands, deserts, plains, glaciers, volcanic mountains and coastlines. This gallery currently displays photos categorized by a number of different locales, including Arizona, Belize, California, Denmark, British Columbia, Iceland, Ireland, Maderia, Malta, New England, Portugal, and Prague. Over time, images from the other areas I’ve visited will be posted, including those from more than 20 other U.S. states and more than a dozen other countries.
I hope you enjoy an armchair tour–and are inspired to check out some of these sights up close and in person!
