"Bailarines De Vallarta" or "Vallarta Dancers' is a sculpture by Jim Demetro (2006). Its located along the Promenade in Puerto Vallarta. I took several shots of this sculpture from different angles, but I think this one turned out the best.

Winter's Gate

So much snow! This is a shot I took a few winters back. I really like the shadow of the fence on the snow.

Saddledome At Night

I went for a little drive this evening to try get some nice shots of the city at night. It took a while for me to figure out the right settings on my camera for the best result, but I am pleased with how this shot turned out.

Underground Books

This model of a sinking Library is in Melbourne. I took several shots of this during my time in Australia...This is my favorite one.

Rail Bridge Canal

This shot was taken along a cycle path that runs along a canal. There are several interesting rail bridges that cross it.

Stockholm Apartments

This is a shot I took forever ago during one of my visits to Sweden. I love some of the buildings in Stockholm. I have always liked this shot, so I thought I would share.

Old London Architecture

One of the things that I do miss about England is the age and grandeur of the older buildings.

Western Winds

This wind vane is on the roof of the house at the end of my street.

Electric Countryside

This is another shot I took when I was in Airdrie last month.

Bottled Ship

Here is another photo from my last visit to England. I went passed it on a bus tour in London. Not sure why there was a ship inside a giant bottle, but there was.

The Barnhouse

I took this shot of this awesome barn while cycling through Airdrie last month.

Porny Cottage

Due to my level of maturity, I couldn't resist taking a photo of this address sign from Windsor (England). What makes it so much more amusing is that Porny Cottage is actually a small school for girls!

Stormy Ben

It occurred to me that I have yet to post a shot from England...So I searched through my archives and found a few shots. This one is from my last visit home.

No Shooting

I went for a drive yesterday along some of the gravel roads around Airdrie to look for some nice shots. I happened across this little scene.

Empty Jungle

I have to say...I felt a little creepy hanging around a playground with a camera! But there were no kids so I think its OK. I tried one of Adobe Photoshops many effects on this shot...I think it looks kind of cool.

Fountain Crab

This awesome crab water feature was outside one of the museums that I visited on my first trip to Vancouver.
