A great picture of the Храм Христа Спесителя (Cathedral of Christ our Savior) in Moscow.

Grand staircase inside of the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg, Russia, which is now the Hermitage (Эрмитаж) Museum. If you would like to check out the Hermitag's website for a virtual tour - Click Here

PPG
Heaven - My View
One of my favorites. It has given me the impression of "Heaven" by the golden light in the distance. Even though it looks like this was taken from up in the air, I was on my deck...if you look very close in the bottom left-hand corner, you can see the branches of trees.
Pittsburgh
This picture was taken in October of 2004. It centers my favorite skyscraper in the world, the PPG Building (Pittsburgh Plate Glass). I tweaked it slightly to enhance the color, used GIMP to get rid of a tent, two people, and a van, lol. Also, I erased the Fort Duquesne lines because they disturbed my main PPG focus. This photo also looks amazing in black and white with a high contrast. I believe this to be the best photo I have ever taken (out of approximately 8,000 digital photos) so you can imagine my joy at this foto. Pittsburgh is my heart's home - this shows it.

Diner
I was born in Wellsboro, PA, so this diner has always been a common site when I go to visit my family...feels like home.
