After 1hr I had to go inside because my gloved hands were too numb to use the camera. I wish I could stand in the cold now. #Photography #LandscapePhotography #Switzerland30 Jun 2026 16:30 +0000at://did:plc:tbjijocuqqfn5hgcco7nw5fs/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpjgf4w77c2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/scottking.bsky.social/post/3moxrllw5l22bThe Urnersee in Switzerland! I got this photo in a brief gap between a snow storm and clouds so thick you couldn't see more than five feet in front of you, all while talking to Lisa on the phone, who was on a work trip. Was a hectic fifteen minutes. #Photography #Switzerland #Landscape23 Jun 2026 16:02 +0000at://did:plc:tbjijocuqqfn5hgcco7nw5fs/app.bsky.feed.post/3moxrllw5l22bhttps://bsky.app/profile/scottking.bsky.social/post/3molbfsn3os2cParis in June. I think March into April, and September into October, are my favorite times of the year to be in Paris. Though last year the end of July for some reason was super quiet. There were minimal tourist, and a lot of locals were already gone for a month of vacation. #Paris #Photography18 Jun 2026 16:41 +0000at://did:plc:tbjijocuqqfn5hgcco7nw5fs/app.bsky.feed.post/3molbfsn3os2chttps://bsky.app/profile/scottking.bsky.social/post/3modmkr5ps22kI had a lovely trip to Belgium and The Netherlands for the Dutch Pen Show. The weather was super rainy, and I only got to do sunrise photos one morning, while in Ghent, but I did get a few good pics, like this one... #Belgium #Ghent #Photography15 Jun 2026 15:39 +0000at://did:plc:tbjijocuqqfn5hgcco7nw5fs/app.bsky.feed.post/3modmkr5ps22khttps://bsky.app/profile/scottking.bsky.social/post/3mn7yhx36wk22I'm heading to Belgium for a few days, and then the Netherlands for the Dutch Pen show! The last time I was there, it was winter, and I only saw the sun for about an hour over the course of 12 days. So I'm hoping for some better lighting this week for photos! #photography #bruges01 Jun 2026 11:36 +0000at://did:plc:tbjijocuqqfn5hgcco7nw5fs/app.bsky.feed.post/3mn7yhx36wk22https://bsky.app/profile/scottking.bsky.social/post/3mm57xxpx6s2uThe view from Col Raiser, with Langkofel in the distance. We have gotten to do a fair amount of travel, and the Dolomites, part of the Italian Alps, are one of the few places I've been to more than once. There's something glorious about the mountains there. #photography #italy #landscape18 May 2026 15:47 +0000at://did:plc:tbjijocuqqfn5hgcco7nw5fs/app.bsky.feed.post/3mm57xxpx6s2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/scottking.bsky.social/post/3mlljlfxo7225The streets here in Heidelberg are always so quiet in the morning. Deliveries usually start around 6:30 to 7am. So until then the streets are empty. Then you have workers and students out and about, and by 9-ish the tourist fill the streets. #photography #germany #heidelberg11 May 2026 14:51 +0000at://did:plc:tbjijocuqqfn5hgcco7nw5fs/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlljlfxo7225https://bsky.app/profile/scottking.bsky.social/post/3ml242xagy22qThis is from our trip to Strasbourg, a week and a half ago. We just finished all the cheese we brought back with us yesterday! I'm always a sucker for a good comté or morbier, but I've fallen in love with Saint-Félicien and Délice de Bourgogne. French cheeses are soooo good. #Photography #France04 May 2026 16:34 +0000at://did:plc:tbjijocuqqfn5hgcco7nw5fs/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml242xagy22qhttps://bsky.app/profile/scottking.bsky.social/post/3mjwuaqpuzs2iGrindelwald, Switzerland. I stood outside in -4f/-18c weather for an hour with an additional -20f windchills to get this photo last month, and I think it was so worth it! It's no wonder I always use any excuse to visit Grindelwald. No matter the season, it is gorgeous. #Photography #Switzerland20 Apr 2026 16:11 +0000at://did:plc:tbjijocuqqfn5hgcco7nw5fs/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjwuaqpuzs2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/scottking.bsky.social/post/3mjkbfjfd3k2sSpring in Strasbourg, France is so freaking lovely! Once you add in a few good coffee shops, one of my favorite stationary stores (Monogram), and the gorgeous setting... it's no wonder we come so often. #photography #france #landscapephotography15 Apr 2026 16:02 +0000at://did:plc:tbjijocuqqfn5hgcco7nw5fs/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjkbfjfd3k2shttps://bsky.app/profile/scottking.bsky.social/post/3mjgzrbdph22lInks I'm currently using in my pens! Imperial Purple, Kon-Peki, and Tsutsuji are my 3 favs, and are ALWAYS in a pen. I just found out today that Sailor is discontinuing a lot of inks, so I'll probably need to find similar colors to replace the Sailor inks once my bottles are empty. #fountainpens14 Apr 2026 09:07 +0000at://did:plc:tbjijocuqqfn5hgcco7nw5fs/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjgzrbdph22lhttps://bsky.app/profile/scottking.bsky.social/post/3mjex7o3dkc2aWe are headed to Alsace this week! Other than the Alps, Alsace is my most visited spot since we moved. Partially because it's close, but also because it's so pretty. This pic is from my visit to Riquewihr last spring! #Photography #France #alsace #LandscapePhotography13 Apr 2026 13:16 +0000at://did:plc:tbjijocuqqfn5hgcco7nw5fs/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjex7o3dkc2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/scottking.bsky.social/post/3miwhvdneuc2pSunrise in Tuscany. I shot this from the walls of San Gimignano. I hadn't known before we arrived that the region was so hilly, or lush. I had thought it was mostly orchards or farming, which it was, but also it was beautiful. #photography #italy #LandscapePhotography07 Apr 2026 19:05 +0000at://did:plc:tbjijocuqqfn5hgcco7nw5fs/app.bsky.feed.post/3miwhvdneuc2phttps://bsky.app/profile/scottking.bsky.social/post/3miizphxhps22The Duomo in Florence. While taking this, someone tried to pick-pocket me, but got nothing. The only other time someone has tried to pickpocket me was in Paris, though in Bath, a British guy told me to give him my wallet. I told him to go f-himself, and he told me I was rude. #photography #italy02 Apr 2026 10:46 +0000at://did:plc:tbjijocuqqfn5hgcco7nw5fs/app.bsky.feed.post/3miizphxhps22https://bsky.app/profile/scottking.bsky.social/post/3mic2ief6bk27I have a trip to Belgium and the Netherlands in June. I can't decide between adding in Bruges (the photo below), or Ghent. I have a few winter photos of Bruges, but would love some with greenery. On the other hand, I've never been to Ghent... Which should I do? #photography #Bruges30 Mar 2026 16:12 +0000at://did:plc:tbjijocuqqfn5hgcco7nw5fs/app.bsky.feed.post/3mic2ief6bk27https://bsky.app/profile/scottking.bsky.social/post/3mhqbdce76s2xOn my trip to the Alps last week I stopped in Bern. There is a really nice pen shop there called Watch and Write, where I picked up a vintage Lamy 25p! I also got checked out some museums and did some sunrise photos... #Bern #Switzerland #photography #travelphotography23 Mar 2026 14:26 +0000at://did:plc:tbjijocuqqfn5hgcco7nw5fs/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhqbdce76s2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/scottking.bsky.social/post/3mhinncgebc25I had a wonderful time this past week in Switzerland.

So I thought I'd share this from last summer. France was my most traveled to country last year, but It's only a 1hr drive and sometimes we go because the grocery stores are better. I do like Paris though.
