Old Salem

A recent visit to Old Salem, in North carolina, provided some wonderful pictures involving variation in texture. A few of my images are shown below.

Babes

Another candidate for the next February Art Walk, wherein I will show some black and white art. This one is one of our favorites from days gone by.

The Taj

Looking over some of my digital art of the Taj. It remains one of the world's great masterpieces. Pictures taken at different times of the day, especially at first light and by full moon, and from different perspectives always reveals something different and intriguing about this magnificent site.
