My sister told me about an app on her office's conference room that showed lovely aerial views of wonderful places around the world with or without background music.  I found the app which can be downloaded and used on AppleTV.     Skytripping

It does cost about $4 a month, but on the other hand if you want something lovely to soothe your soul, it’s a great option.

Another colorful image in the calendar now for sale at Artisan Gallery 218.

Another black and white image of a sight in Des Moines.  There are some fascinating buildings by well-known architects in Des Moines.  This is just one.

We visited Milan a few months ago and wandered the Galleria Vittorio Emanuelle - this is an image of the ceiling  vault and it's a favorite of mine, as it's almost a 3D image.  Is the center popping out toward you, or going away?

This is one of the images in a 2018 Calendar for sale at Artisan Gallery 218.  It's an image of some tiny model boats which were on display in Montreal during the Tall Ships festival earlier this year.

I had an interesting request from some customers at the gallery, Artisan Gallery 218.  They were looking for black and white images of iconic scenes in Des Moines.  Thinking about it a bit, I assured them I could locate a few.  I did so, they selected several and then I thought I'd share a few here.  I enjoyed the project and while I personally love color, some black and white images are special as well.
