Looking across the Grand Canal towards the incomparable Baroque church of Santa Maria della Salute – one of my very favorite spots in Venice.
My view at dinner one evening this past summer, as the sun set over the Arno River, behind the famous Ponte Vecchio in the heart of Florence.
The medieval walls and red tile roofs of the southern Croatian port of Dubrovnik, key filming location for King's Landing in the television series Game of Thrones. The shadows in the foreground are actually rocks on the floor of the harbor, easily visible through the Adriatic's remarkably crystal-clear waters.
