Photo Hunter

This was so hard for me! Everything is beautiful, how could I possibly choose?! I’ll try my best, because I do like Photo Hunters so much. You can click on the links to see more photos about our travels to each of these places.

Things that are colorful are beautiful.

    u’re absolutely right!! those are all gorgeous, must have been hard to narrow it down to these!! :) and yes, old things are beautiful.

    You are so right! I almost didn’t do this one, because the choices were just overwhelming. But that’s part of the fun, isn’t it, really noticing the world around us, seeing on more than a superficial level.

    All your shots are beautiful, but my favorite is the detail of the monastery. The cropping is perfect, and the painting is like something from an old illuminated manuscript. Nice!

    Thanks so much for stopping by at Maraca. Have a wonderful week.

  5. Rho on Sat, 30th Aug 2008 9:03 am 

    Hey! Beautiful! I am from your ‘area’ also! Well, ‘close’ to you anyway, lol!

  6. Patsy on Sat, 30th Aug 2008 9:10 am 

    I had the same dilemma. So I went a different direction. Instead of posting several pictures I posted Love.

  7. aeirin on Sat, 30th Aug 2008 9:24 am 

    those are beautiful photos, I love the lake

  8. Rebecca (Ramblings by Reba) on Sat, 30th Aug 2008 9:25 am 

    I adore the first landscape shot! And I accidentally signed the Mister Linky. And to make matters worse, the wrong link is in there.

  9. Aileni Noyle on Sat, 30th Aug 2008 9:39 am 

    I can appreciate buildings and such as beautiful but is the landscapes I really love.

  10. napaboaniya on Sat, 30th Aug 2008 9:47 am 

    Makes us realise there are so many beautiful things and places around us.

  25. Sallyacious on Sat, 30th Aug 2008 1:03 pm 

    So many choices! I know what you mean about having a tough time narrowing it down. You’ve done a great job of capturing beauty in these shots. My favorites are the bible, the frieze of the Russian Orthodox church and the church in Geneva. Such beautiful captures of beautiful objects.

    Thanks for visiting my blog today.

  26. ellen b on Sat, 30th Aug 2008 1:14 pm 

    What beautiful photos of so many beautiful things! I love it all. I am most intrigued by the Russian Orthodox Monastery. Might have to visit that some day. I’m full blooded Russian but my family was not Russian Orthodox. Have a great Labor Day weekend…

  27. Tricia on Sat, 30th Aug 2008 1:15 pm 

    This was a difficult theme because there are so many beautiful things and we all interpret beauty differently. I can’t decide which of your pictures is my favorite – they are all beautiful. The glassware, the lake photos … all lovely.

  28. that girl on Sat, 30th Aug 2008 1:21 pm 

    my favorites are the nature photos..

  58. SophieMae on Sat, 30th Aug 2008 9:13 pm 

    A very beautiful selection, indeed! I’m partial to the Bible, but they’re all excellent choices. After I posted, I started thinking of all sorts of other pics I ’should have’ chosen. Ah, well… 8-}

  59. Cathi on Sat, 30th Aug 2008 9:50 pm 

    I love your name, New York Traveler. I too love New York. My husband lived there years ago. He works for American Airlines and flies LAX/JFK. You may notice on my blog I call him NY.
    Great photos! Makes me want to do some traveling!!

    Beautiful. :-)

  68. Kim on Sun, 31st Aug 2008 8:17 am 

    You’re right – it’s so hard to choose. Right now though, I’d think I’d go with those Bridgewater shots. Would love to see them again in a few weeks.
