Give me a sunset on the water in Italy and I think I am in Paradise! Many years ago I was fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time and capture this dazzling view in the seaside Puglia town of Polignano a Mare. #Sunset #puglia #travel

A stroll along the Riva degli Schiavoni, the busy promenade along the waterfront, rewards me with this view of gondolas moored against the backdrop of the beautiful San Giorgio island. The church’s campanile rises high in the sky and makes for a memorable portrait of Venice #photography #venice

Milan’s canal district, also known as Navigli, has earned the reputation as one of the trendiest neighborhoods in the city. It’s situated in the southwest corner of Milan, about a thirty-minute walk from Piazza del Duomo. #Milano #Milan #photography

These Italian street vendors in Palermo are selling roasted chestnuts, or castagni. Roasted chestnuts are a popular street food throughout Italy. In Palermo, street food is all the rage, and you can easily find almost any type of food sold in this way here. #streetphotography #photography #sicily

I am fascinated as we slowly sail past all the architectural magic that has existed here in Venice for centuries. #photograpy #architecture #venice

So go to Italy and enjoy every moment. Embrace the Italian lifestyle. Don’t ever expect it to be like it is at home. Immerse yourself amid the Italian people for the best experience you will ever have! #traveltips #streetphotography #photography

The crystal clear blue waters off the coast of Gallipoli attract visitors to enjoy its beaches, arrange a fishing excursion, or eat some of the freshest seafood caught in the Ionian Sea. #photography #southernitaly #beaches

Thinking of the lifestyle of these 3 elderly gentlemen hanging out in Cefalú, Sicily. Their camaraderie is an important part of the Sicilian culture. Sicilians appreciate their lives, even though each day may be simple and yet difficult at times. #photography #streetphotography #Sicilians

“Live life with no excuses, travel with no regret.” ~ Oscar Wilde When my twin granddaughters were born, I was overjoyed, and they quickly became the light of my life. Had we not gone to Italy when they were 18 I don’t know if, or when, the opportunity would arise again. #family #travel #memoir

Few travelers know about the only underground canal in Venice. Accessible by small boat or kayak at low tide, this secret place is located on the Rio di Santissimo beneath the Church of Santo Stefano. Gondolas can’t fit through this passage, making it more secluded #photography #venice #travel
