Took this short video when my son and I visited Shedd Aquarium in Chicago recently. If you're in Chicago and have the chance to visit, make sure you check out the Jellies exhibit at the Shedd.

Here's another panorama image I just cobbled together. This is a view of Monaco and the harbor as viewed from Monaco-ville. I took these images on my last day in town before heading to Nice and then home. Unfortunately, most of the days I was there were cooler and rainy – not warm and sunny as pictured here. Off to the left you see some of the old fortifications of Monaco-ville, moving to the expanse of the city-state of Monaco (the most densely populated country in the world) and then the bright waters of the Mediterranean.
Over the walls of the 16th century Spanish fortress of El Morro looking toward Old San Juan. I was playing with some images and a new photo stitching program and decided to give the panorama view a shot. The image didn't turn out too bad, I only see one real error in it, but it's still a pretty cool image. This was the view that Spanish defenders inside El Morro saw if they were facing an attack from land.
As EAA AirVenture 2011 steps into high gear, I re-discovered my images from last year's AirVenture. So if you didn't make that show and if you're not in the position to come to the 2011 AirVenture in Oshkosh, WI. sit back and enjoy these images.
I visited AirVenture 2010 on Friday, July 30 mainly because Friday is Warbird Friday, when the veteran military aircraft take part in the afternoon's airshow.
Hope you like the images!
Earlier this month, I traveled on business to Europe – Monaco specifically. I was looking forward to it, but when I got there the weather was less than spectacular. I was able to venture around the small principality and took some pictures. Due to work and the resulting problems that arose during the short time I was there, I really didn’t see much outside of the Fairmont Monte Carlo and the Le Meredien hotels. Although the walk between the two was beautiful – against the Mediterranean water front – it was soggy some of the time due to the rain.
During my short stay, I saw Monacoville – where the Prince resides – the Monte-Carlo Casino, and the marina. It’s truly a beautiful area of the world. And if you do go, stop by McCarthy’s Irish Pub for a Guinness!
