Описание:
In New Orleans, the Cities of the Dead are beautiful, historic places to roam. The styles and sculptures decorating the crypts and mausoleums often reflect activities the interred individuals pursued during their lives. Flowers, mementos, and decorative elements added to the gravesites make every visit moving.
Tours and self-guided journeys through the cemeteries add a new angle to the many sights in New Orleans. Although the mausoleums are fascinating, living history waits around every corner of this venerable and historic city. Every street pulses with its own type of nightlife.
Today New Orleans and nearby Jefferson Parish and East Baton Rouge Parish are striking places for tourism with unique French and Spanish Creole architecture, a mild climate, and a cross-cultural and multilingual heritage.
Visitors flock to Caf du Monde, stroll down Bourbon Street to take in the jazz music, relax in Jackson Square, refresh at St. Louis Cathedral, and picnic at Lake Pontchartrain. Mardi Gras might be special, but travelers who explore at other times of the year discover adventures and excitement steeped in culture and history. Visitors to the American South can expand their knowledge base with an artist's view of the city of New Orleans and its Cities of the Dead.
The thirty-five color photos in this collection were taken at Greenwood Cemetery & Mausoleum, St. Louis Cemetery No. 2, and Saint Patrick Cemetery No. 2. They have been paired with titles that evoke the atmosphere of the Necropolises of New Orleans II.

The only visa you'll need is curiosity, and the only passport that matters is a sense of adventure. The Zen of Travel distills those experiences into one enriching book.

Terez n, the Theresienstadt concentration camp, memorializes the triumph of the human spirit.
During World War II, the Gestapo transformed Terez n into Theresienstadt, a ghetto and concentration camp. Jews from Czechoslovakia, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and Denmark were imprisoned there. Despite the suffering, concerts and education continued under a Jewish governing group. Artists like Bedřich Fritta and Norbert Troller worked alongside conductor Karel Ančerl, cantor Karl Fischer, and composer Viktor Ullmann.

Rome's Via Appia, the Appian Way, takes travelers back to 312 BC.
Originally built as a military route, the Via Appia launched an expansion that spurred the saying, "all roads lead to Rome." The road wends pasts the churches, tombs, catacombs and other monuments that dot the landscape. The view changes with the seasons, exploding in spring with purple wisteria and verdant year-round with tall cypress trees.
Pass through Rome's ancient wall and wander along this ancient road with the full-color photos in Along the Via Appia: Rome's Ancient Appian Way (a Travel Photo Art book).

The everyday interactions between horse and rider are found with the Shetland pony, yearlings, feral horses, shire horses, miniature horses, appaloosas, Arabians, bangtails, and more.
Working with horses is spiritual. The rider must be calm and collected while respecting their partner. When that happens, horse and rider transcend. Zen in the Stable honors that relationship.

Georgian culture is a stunning blend of west and east.
Standing at the heart of the Caucasus Mountains, the Republic of Georgia enjoys the best of many worlds. Its culture evolved over thousands of years, and enjoyed its own renaissance and golden age of literature, art, architecture, and science. Today's visitors find echoes of Classical Greece and the Roman Empire mixed with influences from the Byzantine and Russian Empires.
Signagi, or Sighnaghi, is a small town at the heart of Georgia's wine region. While 98% of the world's wine is made with modern methods, in this nation, the old ways prevail. From Signagi's narrow cobblestone streets, visitors can tour Georgian Orthodox churches. Beyond the pastel houses lies the beautiful Alazani Valley.
Stepantsminda, also known as Kazbegi, is a winter ski destination. In summer, this cozy village offers waterfalls and the unique opportunity to hike Gergeti Glacier. Overlooked by the Gergeti Trinity Church, the village rests among alpine meadows that are perfect for jaunts on horseback.
Nearer to Tbilisi, tourists can explore the Ananuri castle complex. The square tower is exceptionally preserved and looks out over the Aragvi River. The outer walls are decorated with ornaments that have drawn international attention. The complex has been considered for listing as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Georgia is truly the gem of Europe. Journey from Signagi to Stepantsminda with the full-color photos in Grandeur in the Republic of Georgia (a Travel Photo Art book).

Описание:
At over 2,500 years old, Rome is more than the capital of Italy. It is the center of artistic creativity and a cultural complex that arguably outstrips any other location on earth. Ancient monuments like the Colosseum continue to capture our attention while institutions like the Vatican Museums spur intellectual interest.
The heartbeat of Rome is found in every traveler's soul. The rushing crowds on the main avenues can be left behind by ducking down a side street. After a block or two, enter one of the small neighborhood streets where children play ball and the splash of fountains echoes against the buildings.
From Aventine Hill to St. Peter's Basilica, from the banks of the Tiber to the Aniene, Rome is a kaleidoscopic journey through time. Its history encompasses the Roman Empire, founded on the Seven Hills, and the center of the Catholic Church. Spectacular vacations and multiple trips are on the minds of every traveler who wants to explore the best of Europe. Visitors to Italy can expand their knowledge base with an artist's view of the ancient city of Rome.
The full-color photos in Ruins of Rome I & II were taken at Palazzo Senatorio, Saint Peter's Basilica and Vatican City, Via della Conciliazione, the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, the Roman Forum, the Pantheon, San Paolo fuori le mura, Piazza del Popolo, Villa Borghese, various obelisks, and other sites. Step into this whirling place and become absorbed by its vibrant heart.
For centuries, Assisi, Italy has been the focus of spiritual activity. The ancient city might be best known as the birthplace of Saint Francis, yet the tangled streets offer much more than a pilgrimage.
Situated in the Province of Perugia, the compact city perches in Monte Subasio National Park on the Apennine Mountains. The views from nearly anywhere in the ancient city are spectacular. Mists rise up from the olive groves early in the morning. Soon the rays of the sun pierce the air and slant across the valley below.
Walking trails wander for kilometers outside the city's stone walls. A shady park perched near the very top of the town offers a restful spot for contemplation. Several times a day, the bells of the various churches ring out, while flocks of silky black jackdaws call while wheeling overhead.
Today Italy in general and Umbria in particular are striking places for tourism with unique architecture, a mild climate, and Mediterranean culture. The cuisine is renowned, and fresh pasta dishes spiced with tomatoes, meats and fish, pecorino and parmesan cheeses, and olive oil can be found at inexpensive restaurants.
Visitors to Italy can expand their knowledge base with an artist's view of Assisi, Monte Subasio, and scenic locations.The forty color photos in Ancients of Assisi I explore these areas as well as the secret Assisi, the Roman city hidden below the buildings. The photographs in Ancients of Assisi I and II were taken at the Basilica di San Francesco, including the Basilica inferior and the Basilica superior; the Sacro Convento, a Franciscan friary; the Rocca Maggiore, a castle that is 800 years old; Santa Maria Maggiore; the Basilica of Santa Chiara, or Saint Clare; and the Roman Domus of Propertius and the Domus of Lararium, both of which are underground.
Of special note in this first collection is a dove that settled inside the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli, recalling the legend of Saint Francis preaching to the birds. Turn the page to step back through thousands of years of history.
Prepare yourself for Umbria's monasteries, cathedrals, ancient stone architecture, winding streets, and lively community nightlight with the forty full-color photos in Ancients of Assisi I and the additional forty full-color photos in Ancients of Assisi II.
