“During two month-long visits to Prague, I always enjoyed encountering new and various designs in the ubiquitous cobblestone sidewalks of that beautiful city. I found myself enchanted by them on my first visit to the Czech Republic in 2008, and added to my photo collection on the second trip in 2010.”
“My first arrival in Prague in July 2008 was by train, a lucky happenstance. In that way, this exquisite bowl of a city was delivered to me from the rim of the flat plains surrounding it like Brigadoon appearing from the mists.” Thus began an essay written and posted in May 2011 at Design Destinations about a place which remains compelling to me still.
“For two years (thank you, Covid), reservations for a three-night stay in Norway’s second-largest city lingered, awaiting my eventual arrival. At last! The opportunity came and I grabbed it. I’ll just put it out there: I fell in love with Bergen.”

“It was the kind of splendid, magical time that makes solo discovery worth every moment of uncertainty.”
