Iceland, Slovenia, May-June 2005 : NYC-Reykjavik, then drove all around the north and west of beautiful Iceland for a week before flying to Klagenfurt, Austria for a week in Slovenia (plus a lightning trip to Italy). All but the last ten shots are from Iceland.

Finland, September 2005- : I have spent a great deal of time in Finland since 2005 with K. The country is amazingly unspoiled, with lakes and forest covering the majority of its area.

Prague, April 2006 : K and I spent Easter weekend in Prague this year. It has been among my favorite cities since I first lived there in 1990.

Ayasofya, June 2006 : With a couple of hours' stopover in Istanbul on my way to Yemen I paid a visit to the Church of the Holy Wisdom, among my favorite structures anywhere.

St. Petersburg, July 2006 : K. and I took the train to St. Petersburg for a long weekend. Clearly I really liked the Church of the Resurrection, as about half the photos are from there.

Italy, September 2006 : K and I spent a few days in Rome, then after a day in Pompeii we spent a week in Tuscany and Umbria. After K left I drove up to Ravenna for a day before heading to Ethiopia. Italy is the country that springs to mind whenever anyone asks me to name a favorite--an unfair question in any case.

Italy, September 2006

Riga, Latvia, December 2006 : K and I flew from Finland to Latvia for two days and three nights. Riga is relatively small and its touristic area compact, but what there is packs a wallop--particularly, for us, the Art Nouveau facades not far from the Old Town.

Sicily (and Malta), March-April 2007 : A couple of nights in Malta (the first five photos) followed by a week and a half in Sicily with K. Sicily contains works of art from most of the cultures that have held sway in the Mediterranean--Greek and Byzantine, Roman, Arab, Norman, Spanish, etc. And the land itself is beautiful in the spring.

Ireland, May 2007 : K and I spent a couple of days in Glencolumbkille, headed south to meet some friends in Doolin, and then went to Birr and Kilkenny. We got good weather just about every day, and were thus able to see Ireland at its colorful best.

Finland, summer 2008 and after : We've been back to Finland a couple of times since moving to Dushanbe. These are a few shots from the past year-and-a-half, which I'll eventually put with the rest of the Finland pictures.

Riga, Latvia, August and September 2009 : Thanks to a new flight connection, I've had the chance to spend some more time in Riga--half a day to visit a friend in August, and half a day with K in September. The climatic contrast with our initial visit in December 2006 could not have been greater.
