Sunset Sunday – Sunset in Hell’s Kitchen, NYC

But as you learned through the sunsets stories […]

Two of us boarded the bus for the afternoon tour with our driver. Yet  just before we exited the hotel gate, the other passenger changed his mind and exited the vehicle for an afternoon poolside. He left me on a personal tour with a jolly man nicknamed “Smiley.” I decided to switch from conversing in […]

Sunset Sunday – Sunset in Melnik, Bulgaria

I opened my Lonely Planet Eastern Europe Guidebook and searched for a day trip outside of Sofia. I noticed Melnik, the cultural, wine making city south of the capital and close to the Greece border.

Sunset Sunday – View at Sheraton Pretoria, South Africa

by on December 11, 2011 in Sunset Sunday

I spent two evenings at the Sheraton Pretoria in South Africa. The first evening I walked the grounds of the Union Buildings, a place where people listened to Nelson Mandela’s inauguration speech in 1994. Walking about I took an image of my first sunset in Pretoria. Still today, it’s one of my favorites. And then […]
