Sunrise Over Angkor Wat

For some, Angkor Wat epitomizes the Cambodian travel experience. The ancient ruins at Angkor stand as one of mankind's greatest engineering achievements, best experienced as day breaks - so long as you beat the tourist hordes to a good spot across...

We visited various sights in Moscow. The guide we had hired took us to an out of the way park where this memorial had been placed for the victims of Stalin's many pograms. It was quite striking but perhaps even more so, as at the same park were...

Sunset at the Tower Bridge, London

When the sunset casts a golden hue to the famous Tower Bridge, with the reflection of the river Thames, it's like a knight changed into his shiny golden armor.

Congrats to London's 2012 Summer Olympic Game Opening Day.

An hour in shopping mecca

I stood at the entrance to the greatest market in all of Byzantium, the glittering Grand Bazaar. Enthralled and petrified by the swirling mass of people pouring past, I stopped to take stock. 4,000 stores filled the musty and smoke-filled bazaar,...

The Eye of London

This is a great way to get a birds eye view of London, and the line moved at a pretty steady pace. Avoid the ticket scalpers as most seemed far from legit. There is a nice little Japanese restaurant to the left of the Eye of London.

Ancient Wonder of the Librarian World

What's so fascinating about Turkey is its rich history (Greek, Roman, Ottoman, etc.)! Near the Aegean coast is one of the country's iconic images. Perhaps what stood out to me the most about this structure was that many of the men in ancient times...

Playful shadows in the park

It was late in the afternoon and the sun was setting. Walking by a park I noticed the water was spraying as kids played in a fountain. The sun was at the perfect position to project their shadows into the misting water.

This image is from the Jewish Museum in Berlin. 10,000 iron cut out, tortured faces. The architect designed this room with purpose. When you walk over the cut out faces (imagine) they grind together in a shriek/scream of metal against metal. The...
