This lighthouse is in the middle of the downtown area in Cape Town. I love the way it appears to be growing in soil held out by somebody’s hand. A clever use of a blank wall.

The East gates into the old city of Avignon. I can imaging what it would have looked like without the traffic lights and with a big wooden gate closing the city at night.
Warsaw doesn’t only have an historical city. It also had a very modern business district, complete with glass facaded skyscrapers. I took this photo while standing by the last remaining piece of the ghetto wall, and it is quite a dichotomy seeing this modern view while standing next such a profound piece of history.
The city of Prague, seeing from the Castle shows pretty red roofs and quiet courtyards.
Prague from the top of the bell tower of St Nicholas’ Church. It is a climb of over 300 steps to get to the top, but the view is really worth it when you get there.
The Grand Canal in Venice is the easiest way to get around Venice. It basically divides the city down the middle, with most taxi and bus services running on it.
There are only four bridges that you can use to cross the canal, however it is a small city; so you never really find yourself stuck on the wrong side of the canal. Venice is remarkably compact, you can easily cross it on foot in less than an hour, and by using the water-bus (Vaporetti) in about 1/2 hour.
Although it is difficult to get an original shot of the canal that has not been taken 100 times before, it is truly a beautiful location for some great shots.
