“Venetian Dawn” (Venice, Italy) – The amazing architecture, squares and waterways of Venice combine to create an incredible experience.   For this image it was a wonderfully peaceful dawn with mist hanging in the air and I had the famous St Mark's Square all to myself.  A couple of hours later and you could hardly move in this spot!!

“Garden Festival” (Tuscany, Italy) - I had scouted out this little square in Pienza one afternoon and I decided to return the following morning to capture it in the pre sunrise light.  I expected to have the place to myself however to my surprise the main street was a hive of activity as the town was setting up for their annual garden show weekend!  To my delight they had already set up a grouping of bougainvilleas that provided just the right foreground balance to the scene!

“Romantic Waterways” (Paros, Greek Islands) – Beautiful ambient morning light shines across a waterway in Venice.  This is the best time of day to wander around old Venice town just soaking up the rich history and atmosphere of the area.

“Manarola Dusk” (Liguria Region, Italy) - The 5 clifftop villages of the “Cinque Terre” are an amazing world heritage listed area in Italy, with Manarola being perhaps the most spectacular.  A hike between the villages is a must do experience for anyone visiting the area.

“Heavenly Scene” (Dolomites, Italy) – I was transfixed witnessing this scene, with angel wings seeming to be formed in the clouds right over the Dolomites mountains and St Magdalena church.   

“Dreaming of Oia” (Santorini, Greek Islands) – This viewpoint in Oia is the most famous and popular location in all of the Greek Islands to take in the sunset.  This is with very good reason, with endless Mediterranean views framed by classic white houses and cafes spilling down the hillside!

“Naoussa Harbour” (Paros, Greek Islands) - Having returned from a successful day’s catch, numerous beautiful fishing boats shelter at Naoussa Harbour, whilst their owners share stories of the day’s adventures in the many wonderful cafes that line the harbourside!

“The Meeting Place” (Paros, Greek Islands) - I stumbled across this quaint opening, whilst exploring the Paros laneways.  It was siesta time when I took this image and the whole area was deserted – this changed a few hours later when it seemed to become a popular spot for locals together before heading off to the local cafes for dinner and the night’s festivities.

“Pastel Skies” (Paros, Greek Islands) - This shot was taken on the beautiful island of Paros. Whilst not as popular as Santorini or Mykonos, the island contained some stunning scenery.  The beautiful pink sunset here was the perfect backdrop to an already beautiful scene!

“Mykonos Dining” (Mykonos, Greek Islands) – The dining experience in Mykonos and many of Greek Islands is well worth the travels to get there.  Not only is the food fantastic however the quaint cafes and traditional music creates a wonderful vibe!

“Steps of Oia” (Santorini, Greek Islands) – One of the true pleasures of exploring the Greek Island villages was the many wonderful scenes like this one that you often stumble across quite unexpectedly!  I love this scene, particularly with the dawn glow highlighting the scene!

“Through the Arch” (Venice, Italy) – After exploring the small streets and canals of old Venice, it was a wonderful feeling to go through this arch way and marvel at the incredible architecture of and surrounding St Mark’s Square.  The Square from this viewpoint leads straight through to the Doges Palace.
