In Salema, Portugal, we stayed in a villa at the top of a hill. This building was at the bottom of that hill, and we walked past it a number of times.

Striped Landscape
The view from the train platform in Toledo was unusually picturesque.
Wooden Star
A detail of one of the doors of the Synagogue of Santa Maria de la Blanca, in Toledo, Spain. (A rather curious name for a synagogue…) The interior was also beautiful, with arches and bas relief detail in white stucco. Unfortunately, the attendants were very serious about enforcing the photography restriction.
Tesselating Paving Stones
Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve been working on the print version of the travelogue from our honeymoon in Spain and Portugal. This project has dragged on, and I’m pleased to have it nearly done. One benefit of procrastinating on this has been that my color correction skills in Photoshop have improved quite a bit. I’m going back through the photos to touch up some of them, and figured I’d share a few here. These paving stones were on the Passeig de Gracia, in Barcelona.
Red Citroen, Sunny Day
Another one from Portugal, this time in Tavira, in the Algarve region. See that blue sky? It didn’t last once we got to Salema, which was the actual beach town. I have a knack for bringing rain to beach towns.
