Welcome to the online blog for traveler/writer/photographer Steven Barber. Come in. Relax. Take off your shoes and socks -- or any other article of clothing, this is the internet. Have a look around. I hope to intrigue, amuse, entertain, and maybe provoke you just a little. I love to find adventure. All I need is a change of clothes, my Nikon, an open mind and a strong cup of coffee.

Pic of the Day: Cat in the Vineyard


Have you ever been someplace and could not escape the feeling you were being watched?

On one particular trip I was on my customary early morning walkabout/shoot, venturing out into the small French village of Chenonceaux in the Loire Valley. It's a well-known wine region, and I thought the rising sun on the vines would be an interesting subject. It was cool and bright when I set out, getting pictures of the town and surrounding vineyards.

As I was shooting I got that feeling. Of being watched. After a few more minutes I paused, looking around to see if someone was there. It was then I noticed a black cat, sitting silently in the center of a row of vines. Just watching.

A few moments later it stood and sauntered away into the fields, apparently finding me not to be terribly interesting after all.
