A Walk in the Park

Hiking from one village to the next on the Amalfi Coast involves going up a ridge and down a ridge - and up a ridge, and down a ridge. In short, there are thousands of steps.

Awesome View

The Amalfi coast looks best when seen from one of the ferries that move you from town to town. That way, you can't see all the tourists (!).

Wall Art

Many homeowners on Capri commission local artists to create these baked-clay images of their homes (or whatever - one had a picture of Napoleon), and then incorporate them into their walls for anyone to see.

Smallest Transit Van in the World

Outside of the port area, no cars are allowed on the island of Capri, Italy - only these little critters. As you can see from the license plate, they don't have too many of them.

Durable Art

Paint your wall, wait 2,000 years, and see if it looks this good. Okay, it was buried for a while by volcanic ash, but still...

Too Much Water

Imagine having a canal on BOTH sides of your house? Can't image what the basement looks like - if there is one.

Patron Saint

St. Renfrew, patron saint of window cleaners and Christmas light stringers. From an old church in Venice.

Too Many Tourists

Venice is overwhelmed with tourists; someone got a little angry about it. We jumped in with other tourists for a photo.

Dumping Weather

Here’s Melissa having some fun in deep powder in the Steamboat backcountry, in late January.

A Tight Squeeze

While this is kind of a cool shot, I was really just trying to squeeze between the photographer and a big tree.

High Over Cape Town

A final photo from our South Africa safari, the two of us freezing on top of Table Mountain, with Cape Town in the background.

Dangerously Quick

A throwback to the August safari - a 10-foot crocodile plunging into the water next to our boat. Incredibly fast.

A Little Too Close

A late entry from a friend who went to Zimbabwe with us. We were on a boat on the Zambezi river, and this hippo surfaced right next to the boat.
