The Cross Bay Veterans Memorial Bridge
The Cross Bay Veterans Memorial Bridge spans Broad Channel and The Rockaways, both parts of Queens in New York City. It was photo graphed on a summer eve just after sundown,
Saint Augustine, Florida
After resisting visiting Florida, it was love at first sight. This is especially true for Saint Augustine. This very old city offers great Latin charm and food along with wonderful people and very pleasant vistas. Got to go back.
Broad Channel, Queens
This quaint and absolutely self isolated neighborhood on Queen, NYC. is licated on a peninsula that leads to the Rockaways. It's a very interesting place to visit but it is not very visitor friendly. We could not find a place to eat anywhere.

Gondoliere
This photo of a gondolier taking a break is from a trip to this wonderful city back in 2005. How time flies.
Thinking of Oregon
While I'm in Sicily charging my ethnic batteries, my mind wonders back to Oregon a place that I had never but fell in love with. These old timers were playing at a local farmer's market in Corvallis.
La processione
Tonight's procession is the culmination of the feast; it's a very impressive religious event. I was born on the narrow street depicted by the two vertical shots. The horizontal one depicts the the Quattro Canti or the town main square. Once the statue is returned to the main church, an impressive fireworks display is held on the water.
