Grocery Store/Cathedral
Everyday life continues, even amidst the drama and history of cities like Palma.
Rainbows Within Cathedral of Santa Maria of Palma
Stained glass spreads an array of colors over visitors to the eighth largest church nave in the world.
Deck at Departure – Sun
Sun and optimism on deck for the departure of the Wind Star.
Port Vell Aerial Tramway
Not long after sunrise, the Port Vell Aerial Tramway in Barcelona’s harbor is already gliding passengers across expanses of water and stands of palm trees.
Montjuïc Cemetery in Dawn Light
Our Mediterranean journey began, fittingly, with an arrival at dawn and a trip to the ship terminal past a reminder of our own mortality.
Crossing a Dramatic Street
On a wickedly curving street beneath a dramatic Menorcan cliff, this simple crosswalk caught my eye.
Street by the Harbor in Mahón
The deep natural harbor of Mahón in Manorca has been in use for centuries and the small, charming structures along the waterfront have been preserved (with careful, direct action by the local population), leaving a (here’s my favorite adjective) Miyazaki-esque Mediterranean setting.

Spreckels Theater closed in 2020, was sold in 2021, and leaves behind its marquee as a grim and overly optimistic reminder of a different time.
Return Flight, Almost Night
Reflections of sunset light from the engineered surfaces of an aircraft are quite different from the rougher surfaces of buildings and plants at ground level.

Sun? Palm trees? Ample public transit? This must be California.
Return Flight, Return Light
Somewhere high above Texas (I’m sure a local could recognize the town from the shape of the river), the sun went down and the lights of the villages turned on.
Resilient Dahl/Miyazaki House
The steep-roofed Belgian structure in the distance (now T’ile Maines) is a relaxing venue on a Belgian island in Mechelen, but a foggy winter evening makes it look more like the sorts of charming/mysterious structures that populate the works of Roald Dahl and Hayao Miyazaki.
