After quite an exhausting (and awesome) weekend, I am back at my cubicle, dreaming of upcoming travel adventures. Still working out details for my final trips before departing Italy, but I will be in Cologne and Ramstein, Germany in mid-August for some Navy Medical appointments and a little sightseeing. Does anyone have any good ideas/secret spots where I can get some interesting photos in that region???

Like I mentioned, this past weekend was a good one, albeit a bit tiring. The first evening I set out for the ancient cave town of Matera. To give you an idea how neat this place is, it was selected as the backdrop for where “The Passion of the Christ” was filmed. I was hoping for a nice sunset to play the background for my Matera photos. I was quite satisfied 
More shots to come this week so stay tuned!
Anyways, something about unique paths always intrigues me. I have always been a road-less-traveled type of guy (one of the reasons I am resigning from the Navy to pursue my dreams), and am a sucker for interesting and curious things. The path below is not exactly the most unusual or interesting in the world, but it does catch my eye and makes me want to walk it, to find out what curious city sits at the end. The awesome clouds and sky ranging from light blue to yellow-orange does nothing but help enhance my curiosity. How does this photo make you feel?? I encourage you guys to comment; I read all of them and try to reply to as many as I can

Wow, a fine leading image here!!! I like this very much, a suggestion or two, maybe a selective darkening of the right stone wall, it seems to repeatedly catch my eye, and a bit distracting. Solid image, and finally, don’t forget the options of a multiple row pano.. which would compress that lovely bkg town, and possibly create some more drama. Remember these are just monday morning ideas, your image is a fine one as it stands, and i’m jealous with eny, as i’d love to see this in person!!!
Carry on youngman!!!
Thanks Don! I really enjoy comments like this. The more I look at the image, the more I see what you mean about the white rock to the right. Not sure if I will change it yet. What do you mean a multiple row pano? If it is what I think it is, then I am too lazy to put that much effort in to one image
If you have facebook or G+, I put a few other photos up, one a pano of the town at sunset I think you would like. Otherwise, just wait a couple days and i will post them all here. Thanks again the the comment Don!
Take time on these walks and take in the beautiful scene. Wonderful image

I like how the trail leads you from the dark to the light. This has a romantic painterly feel to it.

Adam, I see what you mean: the road is asking you to follow it and experience not only what’s at the end but the views in the journey along the wayside. And more than likely their is no end but another path that is calling you to enjoy the endless beauty of the world. As always, thanks for sharing.
A truly stunning shot Adam! Every single part of the picture is filled with fantastic detail and also guides you on a journey. One of your best in my opinion!
Wow a big lightbox version! Beautiful shot Adam! The complimentary tones and colours are perfect. Well done.

That sky draws me in from the corners and the path draws me in from the bottom of the shot. Neat work, Adam
