Catania Gate (Porto Catania), built in 1440, is one of the original gates to the hilltop resort town of Taormina, Sicily. It accesses the Corso Umberto, the main street of the city. See more at my Messina and Taormina, Sicily Gallery.

Front right entrance view from the Cathedral of Saint Mary Major in Marseille, France. It’s the only cathedral built in the 19th century and the last built in France. Its foundations are superimposed on an old church of the 4th century.
Happy Easter!

While visiting the colorful city island of Burano near Venice, Italy, I noted this composition taken from Fondamenta S Mauro looking into an entrance to Calle Dei Squeri, or “street of the boatyard. In Italian, “squeri” (plural of “squero”) refers to small boatyards, especially those where expert craftsmen build and repair wooden boats, particularly gondolas. My trip to Italy, France, and Spain was in October of 2022. I’m not sure if I’ll ever finish curating the approximately 4,000 resulting images!

The John T Alsop Bridge crosses the St. Johns River in Jacksonville, Florida. I shot this at 170mm to achieve a compressed architectural abstract feel.
