This photograph was taken in The Dolomites, Italy, at the Cadini Group Mountain range.
Cadini di Misurina is an awe-inspiring mountain group of the Sexten Dolomites in the Italian Dolomites, Northern Italy.
Defined by sharp, slender spires and pinnacles, the jagged Cadini di Misurina mountains look like the imagined backdrop of a high fantasy epic. It was taken at the early morning hours with a great amount of fog surrounding them, on September 26, 2024

This was shot at the shopping center called Sunset Place in South Miami. This is the spiral staircase in this complex. I shot both from the top of the stairs looking down and from the bottom looking up. Sunset Place is a rather eerie place these days. There are very few stores that are occupied. This shopping center is scheduled for demolition and replacement by a new complex. I have visited here several times to shoot. I find many interesting things to shoot each time I visit.
