End of the World

Cabo de São Vicente Lighthouse
Cabo de São Vicente | Portugal | 2026

Hundreds of years ago, this was considered the end of the world. Cape St. Vincent, the southwesternmost point of Portugal and of mainland Europe. Behind the setting sun, on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, would be Virginia Beach in the US. Besides the spectacular scenery round the lighthouse, first constructed in 1520 and raising up 250 ft from the sea, it is the play of the light that is truly magic at this special place.

Dry Falls

This week I completed a five-day expedition in western North Carolina to photograph waterfalls and fall foliage.  This post features Dry Falls near Highlands, NC.  Its name comes from the ability for visitors to walk behind the waterfall, though the waterfall mist will keep you constantly clearing your lens.  Often fall foliage is equally impactful in monochrome!

Cheers,

Flower Piano

Black And White Photography, Laurie, Mobile Photography, Photography

While in San Francisco, we attended the 11th Annual Flower Piano at the San Francisco Botanical Garden. This interactive outdoor music festival features 12 tuned grand pianos placed outdoors among plants, redwoods, and succulents. The pianos are played by over 130 scheduled professional and community-partner performances, plus public open play. Fabulous!
