This is a small set of images from New York trip I took October 2011. Here you will find: Times Square, Statue of Liberty, Radio City, huge skyscrapers, night views of New York skyline as seen from Empire State Building, panoramic views of New York from the ferry on the way to Liberty Island and of course New York iconic yellow cab taxis.

Unfortunately it was a short trip, and I wish I had more time to explore this magnificent city, but does not matter how much time you spend in New York, it is never enough.

Hope you like them, please share your thoughts and comments.

During my trip to my mom’s this year, I stayed at the house of her boyfriend in Cortland in Ohio. Amazing little quiet city with endless country roads, many old buildings and amazing Mosquito Lake where I sailed for the first time.

Below are just some photos I took at the old barn right across the street from the house, merged into HDR (some images were merge of 5 images) and processed using HDR efex Pro.

I am still here for another day and will update the Flickr set with more photos. Enjoy!

Part of Rome exploration was private guide tour to Colosseum: magnificent ancient Rome structure. It was hard to imagine this architectural triumph based on the thousand of images across the internet – you’ve got to be there, and we were.

I won’t bother you with history, description etc. you can easily find this on Wikipedia or any other source of your choice. Just enjoy the images I took.

Another day of October’s Europe Trip was spent at the ruins of Pompeii. Amazing guide we’ve had made this trip not just fun but also educational. We’ve seen fast food stations, road crosswalks (which by the way look just like modern ones except they are made of raised rocks rather than painted on and were functional – when roads were flooded, pedestrians were crossing streets using them to not wet their feet) whore house (yep with menu of services in form of paintings on the walls) and houses of rich and famous. Amazing fact that Pompeii was a port and beauty of pomegranate trees, two theaters and gladiators training facility – are just few more highlights to mention.

Most of the photos were done as HDRs as it was quite cloudy and sometimes rained which made these shots more dramatic. Enjoy!

This is second set from recent Euro Trip. This first day in Europe we spent in Penha Longa Resort in Portugal. I spent some time outside to explore this beautiful resort and came back with hundreds of photos. Most of photos are HDR, but not crazy post-processed. I’ve used Photomatrix Exposure Fusion feature to merge 3 differently exposed images.

It took me over a year to finally finish photos from the trip to Las Vegas in late 2009. Hundreds of photos were taken in Grand Canyon alone, where we landed on helicopter during the sunset tour. Those were stitched into numerous panoramas.

There is also some footage of fountains at the Bellagio Hotel with their night water show. But I think I would leave those as a memories.

There was less than 48 hours spent in Vegas but so many things done.

Enjoy the photos!
