Georgian culture is a stunning blend of west and east.
Standing at the heart of the Caucasus Mountains, the Republic of Georgia enjoys the best of many worlds. Its culture evolved over thousands of years, and enjoyed its own renaissance and golden age of literature, art, architecture, and science. Today's visitors find echoes of Classical Greece and the Roman Empire mixed with influences from the Byzantine and Russian Empires.
Signagi, or Sighnaghi, is a small town at the heart of Georgia's wine region. While 98% of the world's wine is made with modern methods, in this nation, the old ways prevail. From Signagi's narrow cobblestone streets, visitors can tour Georgian Orthodox churches. Beyond the pastel houses lies the beautiful Alazani Valley.
Stepantsminda, also known as Kazbegi, is a winter ski destination. In summer, this cozy village offers waterfalls and the unique opportunity to hike Gergeti Glacier. Overlooked by the Gergeti Trinity Church, the village rests among alpine meadows that are perfect for jaunts on horseback.
Nearer to Tbilisi, tourists can explore the Ananuri castle complex. The square tower is exceptionally preserved and looks out over the Aragvi River. The outer walls are decorated with ornaments that have drawn international attention. The complex has been considered for listing as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Georgia is truly the gem of Europe. Journey from Signagi to Stepantsminda with the full-color photos in Grandeur in the Republic of Georgia (a Travel Photo Art book).

In New Orleans, the Cities of the Dead are beautiful, historic places to roam. The styles and sculptures decorating the crypts and mausoleums often reflect activities the interred individuals pursued during their lives. Flowers, mementos, and decorative elements added to the gravesites make every visit moving.
Tours and self-guided journeys through the cemeteries add a new angle to the many sights in New Orleans. Although the mausoleums are fascinating, living history waits around every corner of this venerable and historic city. Every street pulses with its own type of nightlife.
Today New Orleans and nearby Jefferson Parish and East Baton Rouge Parish are striking places for tourism with unique French and Spanish Creole architecture, a mild climate, and a cross-cultural and multilingual heritage.
Visitors flock to Caf du Monde, stroll down Bourbon Street to take in the jazz music, relax in Jackson Square, refresh at St. Louis Cathedral, and picnic at Lake Pontchartrain. Mardi Gras might be special, but travelers who explore at other times of the year discover adventures and excitement steeped in culture and history. Visitors to the American South can expand their knowledge base with an artist's view of the city of New Orleans and its Cities of the Dead.
The thirty-five color photos in this collection were taken at Greenwood Cemetery & Mausoleum, St. Louis Cemetery No. 2, and Saint Patrick Cemetery No. 2. They have been paired with titles that evoke the atmosphere of the Necropolises of New Orleans II.

Zen in the Stable combines insight garnered from the equestrian life with stunning photos. Written by an award-winning author trained as a show jumper by an Olympic-level coach, Zen in the Stable offers original equine enlightenment from the barnyard to the ring. Inspiring photos enhance each original saying in a full-color book that makes a perfect gift.
The power and grace of horses sets them apart from other animals. The fluid movements of a mare, a stallion, and even the humble pony under saddle carry us into new worlds, ones that can only be viewed from horseback. When the author was fifteen, she learned dressage and jumping. The experience developed a part of her soul and nourishes her to this day.
Thoroughbred breeds competing in horse sports, foals, wild horses, draft horses, horse racing, palominos, colts and saddle horses are stablemates for our lives. The everyday interactions between horse and rider are found with the Shetland pony, yearlings, feral horses, shire horses, miniature horses, appaloosas, Arabians, bangtails, and more.
Working with horses is spiritual. The rider must be calm and collected while respecting their partner. When that happens, horse and rider transcend. Zen in the Stable honors that relationship.
A gorgeous collection for every equestrian, horse enthusiast, animal lover, and anyone seeking a moment of peace, Zen in the Stable demonstrates that the human-horse connection can enrich our lives and make us happier, healthier, calmer, and more loving.

Prague offers truly beautiful discoveries only minutes away from the crowded tourist sites.
Most people who visit Prague limit their experience to the small area bounded by Old Town Square and Prague Castle. Only a block or two away from the main boulevards are quiet cafes and bustling, three-way intersections where residents live and work amid the iconic architecture.
A short tram ride reveals additional treasures like Vysehrad, a historic fort on the banks of the Vltava River. The site is home to the Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul as well as Prague's oldest rotunda, which dates from the 11th century. From the elevated expanse of Letn Park, visitors can snap unique pictures of Prague Old Town and the Vltava River.
Leave the crowds behind and discover the real Prague with the full-color photos in Hidden Prague: From the Vltava River to Vysehrad Castle (a Travel Photo Art book).
In the Travel Photo Art series, traditional tourism panoramas mix with arthouse aesthetics. These slim, passport sized productions are your passport to new perspectives on famous places. Peer around corners and discover a unique way to interact with monuments and memorials you thought you knew.
This popular series includes titles that mix text with the pictures.

Rome's Via Appia, the Appian Way, takes travelers back to 312 BC.
Originally built as a military route, the Via Appia launched an expansion that spurred the saying, "all roads lead to Rome." The road wends pasts the churches, tombs, catacombs and other monuments that dot the landscape. The view changes with the seasons, exploding in spring with purple wisteria and verdant year-round with tall cypress trees.
Pass through Rome's ancient wall and wander along this ancient road with the full-color photos in Along the Via Appia: Rome's Ancient Appian Way (a Travel Photo Art book).
