Sol Metro Stop, Madrid.

Just a quick upload before I head over to Pamplona to jog with some bulls. There will be a lot of pictures coming in the next months, I have all sorts of europe to process! woo!

I had a couple of finished pictures left over from my trip that I took to Italy in December, 2009. Since I have a minute here at the train station in Lesce-Bled, Slovenia, I thought I'd upload them.

This was a beach house just outside Monterosso al Mare in the Cinque Terre Region of Italy. It was a beautifully stormy day. Beautiful both physically and figuratively, because the rain we could see out at see hardly made it inland, and what did, we avoided by chilling and learning Italian in a quaint Italian cafe.

Here's a quick little update from Kotor, Montenegro:

My travel companions and I were here for the last two days seeing the city and hiking around the surrounding mountains. The first day was rainy and somber, but had beautifully textured clouds coming over the tops of the mountains surrounding the Bay of Kotor. I managed to take a nice panorama of that from the fortress that towers over Kotor, which should be up in the next few days.

The second day started out sunny, but quickly turned rainy, and just as we were about to start our hike. We went for it anyway and followed a nicely put together civilian trail up, up, and up the steep hill behind Kotor's old city. We were treated to a spectacular view of not only the entire city, bay, and surrounding mountains, but we could even see the sea! It was quite brilliant, I do love hiking.

This photo itself was actually taken just after getting groceries for the evenings meal. After waiting for most of the trip, we were finally treated to a pretty nice sunset in the farthest-most southern city of our Central/Eastern Balkan journey.

My travel companions and I are currently in Budapest. Yesterday we checked out one of the most famous Thermal Baths in Budapest. I snapped this before we headed in.

Been a bit of a sick mess this week, but I managed to get *some* of the photo work done that I wanted to.

I've decided that I'm going to take some sort of iconic black and white shot of the major cities in Europe, I've got Paris and Rome so far...there's a couple more to do.
