Pomegranates

Not in my garden.  This doesn't grow this far north, as far as I know.  Seen at Simena Sun Club, Camyuva, Turkey.

Assumption Church, Kiev

I'm not sure if there's anything historic or notable about this church, but it looks very much like a church in Chernigov Ukraine that dates back to the 11th century.

Chester Train Station, Chester VT

This one goes back a ways, back to the days of film. Does anybody remember film?

I've tried various processing methods on this one before, but none of them really worked for me. But this one I like. A lot.

Chernobyl Monument and Reactor

C H E R N O B Y L - 2 0 1 2 

It's been a while since I've posted some of my Chernobyl/Pripyat photos, and I still have quite a few not yet posted, so here goes...

This area is generally a restricted area when it comes to photography, but there is this place right in front of the reactor, near this monument, where photography is allowed.

Simena Sunset

Seen at Simena Sun Club, near Camyuva, Turkey.

Zen Mountain

As promised, I'm back with some new photos.

This is Mt. Tahtali, south of Kemer, Turkey

Spring Rain on Evergreen

I’m working on some new photos to add soon, but for the time being, here are some favorites from the past.  There will be more new stuff coming soon, I promise!

This photo was taken quite a few years ago, when I was still living in NJ, USA. Although it was taken in the USA, this is the sort of photo that could have been taken in many places. This photo has a painted effect applied.

The View of the Dneiper

I’m working on some new photos to add soon, but for the time being, here are some favorites from the past.  There will be more new stuff coming soon, I promise!

Mariinsky Park in Kiev has a number of scenic views overlooking the Dnieper and the Left Bank of Kiev. This is an evening view from one of them. This photo is about four years old, but it wasn't until recently that I returned to it and did some processing that makes it awesome! The structure in the center of the photo is the Moscovsky Bridge.

Lavra on a January Day

I’m working on some new photos to add soon, but for the time being, here are some favorites from the past.  There will be more new stuff coming soon, I promise!

Kiev Pechersk Lavra or Kyiv Pechersk Lavra (Ukrainian: Києво-Печерська лавра, Kyievo-Pechers’ka lavra), also known as the Kiev Monastery of the Caves, is a historic Orthodox Christian monastery which gave its name to one of the city districts where it is located in Kiev, Ukraine.

Currently, the jurisdiction over the site is divided between the state museum, National Kiev-Pechersk Historic-Cultural Preserve, and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchy) as the site of the chief monastery of that Church and the residence of its leader, Metropolitan Volodymyr.

Scene from an Old Roman Town

I’m working on some new photos to add soon, but for the time being, here are some favorites from the past.  There will be more new stuff coming soon, I promise!

Myra is an ancient town in Lycia, where the small town of Kale (Demre) is situated today in present day Antalya Province of Turkey. It was located on the river Myros (Demre Çay), in the fertile alluvial plain between Alaca Dağ, the Massikytos range and the Aegean Sea.

Wall Mural, Kiev

I’m working on some new photos to add soon, but for the time being, here are some favorites from the past.  There will be more new stuff coming soon, I promise!

Soviet Era mural? Nyet.

Soviet Inspired? Uhh…nyet.

Religious? Nyet again.

(Although there does seem to be some disagreement here. My wife thinks probably none of the above, but one of my Flickr contacts thinks this a genre called Soviet Realistic Art).

This is a mural on the wall of a brick and tile outlet in Kiev. Presumably, they’re just showing off what they can do. Although, if you ask me, it does have a bit of a religious theme going.
