A favorite from the beautiful city of Oxford. A quiet moment that feels almost Italian, not only because of the scenery, but because it serves as a reminder that getting a little lost sometimes is good for the soul. And my camera.
The white limestone cliffs along the Jurassic Coast had me reminiscing about my favorite Mesozoic Era hangout spot in Calvert, Maryland. If you need a little more texture in your life, a jagged coastline seems to be the perfect destination.
