Wherever I travel, I like to view the local art scene. If it be at a museum, an art gallery, or even on a wall, (sometimes,) I take in as much art as I can as part of my travel “sightseeing.” As an enlightening experience, I better understand a culture, a history, and what makes […]
Because Australia is in the southern hemisphere, springtime is from September through November. Is there a better way to enjoy a spring day other than to go for a walk in the park? The city of Melbourne, Australia, has wonderful gardens to visit, and thankfully, a great, public, modern, trolley-like, light rail system to get […]
Recently, I visited Australia and swam, drove, biked, and walked around some of its best-known places. Today’s video presents photographs of Sydney, the capital city of New South Wales and the most populous city in Australia. In future posts, we visit the Outback, southern coast, and Great Barrier Reef. I started my tour at the […]

To be one of America’s Scenic Byways, a route must have scenic, natural, historic, cultural, archeological, […]
Colorado National Monument is situated between the towns of Fruita and Grand Junction, Colorado. It is managed by the U. S. National Park Service. There is a campground, many trails, and a very scenic drive in the Monument. Nearly within a stone’s-throw of U.S. Interstate 70, it makes a neat addition to a trip to […]
This is the fourth mystery video in my Gumshoe Opera series. The music, basically a rock song with unsettling, chaotic strings at the end, provides the mood for a mystery sub-genre “suspense” or “thriller” picture show. Suspense/thrillers center around epic, psychological or supernatural occurrences, unlike other mysteries such as crime dramas (think film noir,) or […]
