Inspired by, well, a lot of different things! All done in Photoshop, as always.

My first, and certainly not last, visit of Edinburgh, Scotland with its typical cloudy sky. I enjoyed every minute of my three day vacation there. Great city!

This 5-exposure HDR image was taken during a lovely, clear sunset on March 6, 2011. Shot from Cap Martin, between Roquebrune and Menton. You get a nice, more frontal, view on Monaco. However, if you plan to go, take a torch with you, since there is no light among the path by the sea! Enjoy!

Tilt-shifted photo of San Marino, which looks like toy-town here.

To get dark in the belfry.

Sunset shot from a cliff above Menton on the French Riviera. Menton Garavan with its port in the foreground, the old town of Menton with the smaller port in the center leading to Roquebrune Cap Martin, and part of the Principality of Monaco appearing just behind. Enjoy!

Took this shot from Coit tower. It was freezing up there!

I was walking along the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City and took this with a tilt-shift lens.
