David Cale (ImagesOfTheJourney) > Madonna Of The Bakery....... In the summer of 2003, there was a heat wave in Europe. It was so unbearable that most businesses closed during the searing heat of the afternoon and then reopened in the evening and then staying open until well after midnight. I had just landed at Leonardo Da Vinci airport, picked up my rental car (with AC thank god) and headed south to try to find the hotel I had booked on the Internet. I have a confession to make. I travel all over the world and regularly get lost if there is a choice of more than one road I will take the wrong one. So after about 3 tries I finally found my hotel in the town of Pommesia south of Rome. With the time change I was not yet feeling sleepy so I went for a walk along the main road next to the beach. As I walked along I caught sight of a bakery with a sales window open to the street. In that window was this gorgeous woman that you see here. She had no idea I was leaning on a lamppost (to steady my camera) and took her photo as she stared pensively out into the darkness. I decided to use no flash and so set the camera (Fuji S2 SLR Nikon based) and this photo was the result. It is now one of my favourite photos that I have ever taken. The natural lighting was amazing, outlining every muscle and particularly the shaft of light on her head giving her a type of halo... thus the name of the photo Madonna Of The Bakery. One other detail... it was after midnight and a sign nearby was flashing a temperature reading 36C. (97F)

David Cale (ImagesOfTheJourney) > Sailing The Tectonic Seas It might take a few million years to get anywhere but you can imagine what this amazing mountain has "seen" in its time... SAILING THE TECTONIC SEAS by David Cale The mountain rears magnificent like a titanic ship’s prow it cuts through countless dawns sun warmed or storm wracked mute testimony to the tectonic brooding of the planet below our feet I am tempted to feel small But a mountain is just a mountain not a comment on me

David Cale (ImagesOfTheJourney) > NOW THAT'S A GOOD KITTY I was being given a tour through the Cairo Zoo by one of the keepers when he asked me if I had ever held a lion. "Held a Lion" I said in my most stunned manner. I guess he took it as a NO and he flipped this cage with a mother and cub open, grabbed the cub and plunked it into my hands. (all 40kg of Him) I noted the mother was watching me very very closely, so I made soothing sounds and then handed the cub to my wife.
