If you’ve been following along, we intrepid travelers faced numerous obstacles in our path along the way to our Amalfi Coast home-away-from-home, but we didn’t let any of them deter us in our quest. After a long bus ride and steep climb up their driveway, we arrived just before sunset, unpacked our things in ourContinueContinue reading “The Day We Didn’t Get Lost – Finale”

Views from the Cut – Take Six
Photo taken by author A few of my gimmicks in one: experiments in symmetrical asymmetry, a shot of a shot, and black and white texture porn. Shot on Panasonic DC-ZS70, ƒ/3.3, 1/60, 4.3mm, ISO500, black and white filter.
Views from the Cut – Take Five
I’m not a car girl, but something about this artwork whispers Detroit, ever so softly in my ear. We are the motor city, after all. Shot on Panasonic DC-ZS70, f/3.3, 1/60, 4.30 mm, ISO 400.

Views from the Cut – Take Three
Photo provided by author Experiments in street photography at the Dequindre Cut. I wanted to thank this guy for helping me out, but a) pandemic, and b) he was running too darned fast. Shot on Panasonic DC-ZS70, ƒ/4.3, 1/80, 10.9mm, ISO200
The Day We Didn’t Get Lost (Part Three)
What wise, punctual, careful travelers were we. We were punctual – oh, so punctual. We abandoned our (gorgeous) hike mid-afternoon, resisting the urge to soak in every last moment of time wandering and taking photos. This would certainly give us plenty of time to check into our room before dusk and get to know theContinueContinue reading “The Day We Didn’t Get Lost (Part Three)”

Views from the Cut – Take One
Dequindre Cut – photo provided by author Interrupting my Amalfi Coast nostalgia for a little taste of how ’bout what’s happening now.

The Day We Didn’t Get Lost (Part Two)
It doesn’t happen very often — I’d go so far as to say I can count the number of times on one hand — but every once in a blue moon, my Women’s Walkabout companion and I have a day where we actually move in a straight line to get where we’re going. The taleContinueContinue reading “The Day We Didn’t Get Lost (Part Two)”
The Day We Didn’t Get Lost (Part One)
Most of my Women’s Walkabout adventures are some derivative of “wandered in the wrong direction, madness ensued, eventually stumbled on the right path”. But this day? As the title says, this was the day. That one, single day. The day we somehow knew how to get to where we wanted to go, every step ofContinueContinue reading “The Day We Didn’t Get Lost (Part One)”
