Wat Chedi Luang is a ruined chedi, or stupa, in Chiang Mai. The chedi is huge and really cool to walk around. I particularly liked these giant elephants that lined the Southern side. The actually wat in front of the chedi is impressive as well.

Daily Photo: Saint Basil’s Cathedral
Saint Basil’s Cathedral sits at one end of Red Square (which is neither red nor square) in Mosow, Russia. The bright colors and onion domes make this Russian Orthodox church easily recognizable and I was thrilled to be there and able to take a picture (something I never thought possible as a child). Some interesting …
Daily Photo: Statue of Liberty
The Statue of Liberty never ceases to impress. I took this photo on a trip to New York with some friends earlier this year. I’ve been to New York countless times but never actually visited Liberty Island before. The lines are long, but well worth it.
My new photography ebook (it’s free!)
I’ve been to nearly 50 countries, 40 US states, and countless cities in my travels over the years. Through most of those travels, I’ve taken thousands of photography. Usually they just sit on my hard drive. I might post them to Facebook or email them to friends and family. Friends periodically ask for a copy …
Daily Photo: Quetzal, Tikal, Guatemala
Quetzals are skittish birds, so it was difficult to get this picture. I had to stay far away from them so they didn’t run. They are very pretty and colorful, so even though the photo is bad you can tell how beautiful they are.
Daily Photo: Travertines, Pamukkale, Turkey
The travertines at Pamukkale in Turkey are really fun to visit. Despite the fact that the hot springs that fed this ancient Roman spa resort are all but dried up due to poor water management, there is still some water flowing. The water is diverted periodically to ensure that all parts of the area get …

Daily Photo: Yellow Tram, Lisbon, Portugal
I know, there is nothing special about this picture, but I loved Lisbon so I wanted to post a photo. The yellow trams are famous and very fun to ride around in. They come so close to building and cars that they are only inches away.
Daily Photo: Mt Rainer, Washington
One of the great things about living in Seattle is the ability to head to Mt Rainer and go for a hike. The views are stunning on a clear, sunny day.
Daily Photo: Bronze Horses, Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania
These bronze cast horses are life size. They reside at the National Museum of the Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania. As the sign indicates, photos were not allowed, but I couldn’t help myself. I was actually surprised to get such a nice photo since I was trying to take it while not being …

Daily Photo: Incense Pot
Incense is used quite a bit in Buddhist temples and I thought this pot was beautiful. Every pot had something unique about it, but they were all being used.
