Hollywood may be a town of glitz and glam, but the brightest gems currently found in the city are the faceted headlights of the myriad vehicles on display at the 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show.

Europeans, it seems, are now fully willing to accept the cars of tomorrow. Autonomous driving, augmented reality and electrification were all the rage in Paris.

MONTEREY, California – It’s chilly this time of the morning, and the dense fog blanketing the peninsula effectively blocks out the rest of the world from this charmed and dreamlike setting. The sun has yet to rise above the granite cliffs and small islets embracing the Pebble Beach coastline, and the twisted cypress trees stand in stark contrast ag

Framed by a single arch of Roman aqueduct, a vast and gorgeous beast rests momentarily beside a mountain road. Here's the contrast between categories of man-made beauty: that which last centuries, and that which is soon made redundant by the constantly onrushing future.
