These are lovely, Steven. I really like the house in #2. Your images have a very painterly look to them. Might I ask about your PP work?

Thank you for looking, AzPicLady. Glad you enjoyed. These were processed in Lightroom and Topaz Adjust.

How was the cruise ? Any comments as to it; was worthwhile? I’ve been eyeing a Viking cruise for a while, worried that the commercials on PBS are too good to be true.
Been on two of Viking tours. Grand European and Russia. Loved both, and to my wife and I, they go overboard to keep you pleased. Tours excellent with great guides either their own or Local. Opportunities for photography abound but I’m just a “hobbyist” so take that from that standpoint. Advanced photographers may find tours time limiting due to schedules. They are not cheap, in my opinion, but certainly worthwhile. We like them enough to have schedluled two future trips but these two will be with their new ocean cruise line.
I have only posted photos from GET on Flickr:https://www.flickr.com/photos/137920222@N04/. This will give you, I believe, the photostream but Albums will be available from there where you can find the cities (albums from the tour). Of course as per usual, best viewed in large screen and also comments welcomed.

A wonderful beautiful set. Bamberg is a wonderful, beautiful German town. Mahalo for sharing.

My wife and I took the Viking Danube cruise three years ago to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. We thought it was wonderful. I still don't think it is the best way to see European countries -- but when walking abilities eventually diminish with age -- this is next best in our view.

Morry, on this trip my wife did have trouble walking. Viking had a “gentle walkers” group which went very slowly and tried to avoid all the steps. It worked out very nicely.

Thanks, Steve! I took a 9-day cruise of the Seine River in 2015 (Paris to Paris)--you might look into that one.
