Top Of Rome

This is one of my favorite views in the world. This is looking out across Rome from the top of St Peter's Basilica, more specifically Michelangelo's Dome. I've been up here twice and I definitely have to say that the late afternoon is the optimum viewing time. In the late afternoon with the falling sun at your back Rome is set in perfect light. The view out across the city at this time of day is definitely eternal.

Lauchernalp

Few things in life are as fulfilling, humbling, and satisfying to your soul as a full day of skiing. Something about being on top of the Alps just playing so close to the sky. You leave with something special. These mountains stay with you always.

Plaza de España

This plaza is located in central Madrid. I really the atmosphere and vibe in and around most of the plaza's in Spain. The Plaza de España is centerpieced by a large monument honoring Miguel de Cevantes, the renowned Spanish novelist who wrote Don Quixote.

I took took the top photograph on May 1, 2010. May 1st is national Labour Day in Madrid. It was a right around sunset and some sort of fair/cultural event was going on in the plaza. Lots of people out and about enjoying the day.

I took this picture(below) the next day while going by on the bus.

The Spanish culture is known for its late starts and ends to the day and nowhere is this more visible than in Madrid.
