Photographed this past March in the area on the border of Chile and Bolivia that surrounds the city of Salta, know to Argentinians as Salta La Linda (The Beautiful).

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.
