Lucca is a gem of a small city in Tuscany.  Surrounded by its original walls, it is a pedestrian city where bicycles and walking are the major forms of transportation.  These photographs were taken this past September.  I was enchanted with Lucca and took many photos, selecting several themes to include below: reflections in puddles following brief rains, laundry hanging from windows, bicylces, silhouettes of people riding or walking on the walls, a mummy in a church and the entrance to the cathedral.

These images are selected from the many that I took in Argentina this past April.   Argentina is a fascinating country of amazing contrasts. While South American, Buenos Aires has an urbane European flavor. Scenic beauty ranges from the jungle in the North to the glaciers in the South.  I captured some of the diversity of Buenos Aires as well as the beauty of the Iguazu Falls and the Lake District. Below are a sampling.  Others are inculded in the photo galleries, Landscapes, Water Places, and City Places.
