Photo of the Week: The Louvre in Monochrome

Photo of the Week: Catnapping in Old San Juan
This cat was obviously exhausted from the rigors of the day. Either that, or the humidity was all too much for him. Old San Juan in June is an incredibly humid place. Even though we had expected the...

Photo of the Week: The Sydney Harbour Bridge at Night
The Sydney Harbour Bridge, as seen from near Campbell's Cove. I have a thing for taking photos of bridges at night. I don’t know why — I’ve never been particularly fascinated with how bridges are...
