      <image:caption>The Music Legends: Start at Cafe Wha? and The Bitter End, where icons like Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, and James Taylor first took the stage. The Heart of the Village: Move toward Washington Square Park, the longtime center for folk gatherings and public discourse. Bohemian Hangouts: Visit the White Horse Tavern, the legendary haunt for writers like Dylan Thomas, and the site of the Gaslight Cafe (closed in 1971), where Beat poets and folk revivalists defined an era. Historic Landmarks: Explore the architectural beauty of the Jefferson Market Library, stand at the Stonewall Inn to honor pivotal LGBTQ+ history, and finish at the quiet, gas-lit cul-de-sac of Patchin Place, once home to literary giants like E.E. Cummings.</image:caption>

This is a photo of the path as you come back around to the front or main section of the garden. The rear area features a small waterfall and is less busy than the main area. We sat in the shade by the small waterfall and had a wonderful quiet break.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>We had just visited Arles, the French City where Vincent Van Gogh was so prolific. So this was my homage to Vincent. I used the edge on the planter in the lower left to stabilize the camera. I didn't add any additional light to the scene but I did adjust the highlights and shadows in Lightroom to bring out all the detail. You can read our blog post: Visiting Vincent Van Gogh sites in Arles, France</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The orange color of the arched ceiling was barely visible to the naked eye at night but the light bulb by the door in the photo provided wonderful texture and color revealing light.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Debbie stood to my right and held the iPhone over her head so the flashlight would illuminate the building in the center but not the one to my left. Leaving the building on the left a bit dark helps to add depth to the photo. In Adobe Lightroom I color corrected for the color of the iPhone's flashlight. The streetlight on the far right added a very warm light to the archway.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The warm color of the church was enhanced by the nighttime spotlight. Debbie stood on the hill to the left and used the iPhone to light up the trees. I used a railing to help steady the camera and the exposure was long enough to reveal stars in the sky.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Photo Gallery: Eze, France photographed at night</image:title>
      <image:caption>This area was completely black so we absolutely needed the iPhone flashlight. For fun I left Debbie's hand and the phone at the very far right edge of the photo.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The hotel in the background was lit so it helped add depth to the photo. The blue light on the wall was not very visible to the naked eye it but became more pronounced as I brought up the shadows in Lightroom.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I was amazed how much I was able to reveal the detail in the foreground. There was very little light on the walls but I was able to bring out lots of detail in the Canon R5 image by using Lightroom. Note - This site is supported by our audience.

      <image:caption>Renting a car allows you to visit many of the world-class destinations in France. I would not hesitate at all to rent a car and go exploring. If you'd rather skip the driving for a day and let someone else navigate, Viator has a wide range of guided day trips from Nice, Marseille, and other French Riviera cities. This post was researched and written by John O'Boyle of The Empty Nest Explorers. John is a professional photographer and videographer whose work has been published by the New York Times, NBC News, and Getty Images. He has been part of a Pulitzer Prize-winning team and nominated for New York Emmy Awards. You can learn more about John and the Empty Nest Explorers here.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>When we tried to race from Saint James to Wellington Barracks a huge crowd had already assembled. A better approach is to take your time walking to the Barracks and get a good position (see map below) to get them returning.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Setas de Sevilla in Seville Dusk was the perfect time to photograph Setas de Sevilla in Seville. At dusk there is still some blue in the sky while the colored light show on Setas de Sevilla is visible, making it a very colorful scene. The extra wide 15-35mm came in very handy to capture the scene. While processing the photo in Lightroom I was able to isolate the sky from the rest of the scene to adjust the tones of each area separately.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>When the building is open, you can climb up the narrow, winding staircases to additional terraces for an even higher vantage point. And do sit in one of the lookout turrets for a photo op - a favorite spot for locals and tourists alike. For the avid birder, this elevated view is great for spotting hawks, a number of which live in the park, and water birds and ducks in the Turtle Pond, so tuck your travel binoculars into your bag before you come! Just a note- the Castle is a good place to pick up a map (there are other locations to get one as well).  Definitely pick one up if you see one - The Conservancy distributes a really useful one, with street locations for the different points of interest around the park. Leaving the castle, continue south into the Ramble.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Cholla Cactus Garden was the farthest point from the entrance to Joshua Tree that we visited but it was worth the drive. The garden is located at the merger of the upper Mojave Desert and the lower Colorado Desert. The large spines will catch onto your skin with the slightest bit of contact so no wide-angle lenses here. The use of a telephoto lens allowed me to visually compress the cactus and frame them so they were backlit. The backlighting allowed me to emphasize to cactus spines and the unique shape of the plants. There are many apps that will allow you to pre-visualize where the sun will be on any given day and location. They may be a little difficult to figure out but they really are magical, allowing you to line up the sun or moon perfectly. One app that’s very popular is PhotoPills.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Worth noting, a fun stop we made for dinner one evening was Rick’s Desert Grill. After an exhausting day at Joshua Tree National Park (more on that later), we were looking for something close to our hotel, as we were too tired to go walking around downtown. We took a chance on Rick’s after checking it out on Yelp, and we were charmed by the place! The food was excellent, with deviled eggs on the house and a Key Lime Martini that was exactly what I was expecting it to be, creamy and limey! It’s kind of a diner, kind of a sports bar, kind of a tribute to Palm Springs’ heyday. The many celebrity photos that decorate the walls got us googling people and places and engaging our college-aged son in some glamorous history. He couldn’t help smirking at the “live entertainment” - thoroughly entertained I guess, by the throwback vibe. The service was great and very friendly, and they even remembered us when John had to stop back the next day for the credit card he had accidentally left. They remembered exactly where we sat and were holding the card for him. Nice people. Nice place.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - What to see during a New York City layover</image:title>
      <image:caption>In 2008, during my career as a newspaper photojournalist I photographed Pope Benedict’s visit to Saint Patrick’s. I arrived in the pre-dawn hours to prepare for the visit. Many hours later the Pope exited the Popemobile and walked up the steps. With his attention focused on the church’s interior he almost forgot to stop and wave to the assembled crowd.  Luckily an aide reminded him to turn around and wave.</image:caption>
