Seven Super Travel Photos
Hostel Bookers is running a game of photo tag and were kind enough to include us in their inaugural post. I love going back through photographs that I haven’t looked at recently. Each one tells a story and reminds me of a precious moment in time.
Picture Perfect Portraits: Children of the World
Picture perfect portraits tell so much about the subject. When we travel, we meet so many sweet and curious children around the world that absolutely love having their photos taken.
Amazing Ruins of the World: A Visual Memory
As I go through the list of amazing ruins we have visited on our travels, I see that we have barely scratched the surface of all there is to see in the world. We have yet to see Easter Island, Stonehenge, The Acropolis in Athens or the Roman Colosseum. We may never see any of [...]
Kyaiktiyo Pagoda aka The Golden Rock, Myanmar
One of the most remarkable places to visit in Burma is the legendary Golden Rock. Located in Kyaiktiyo, a few hours east of Yangon, the Golden Rock is a phenomenon dangling off the side of a mountain.
Myanmar Border and the Golden Triangle
Born to be Wild pumped through my mind as we drove our motorcycles through the winding roads of Northern Thailand’s Golden Triangle towards the Burmese Border
The Window to the Soul; A Photostory
Travel photography has many aspects. When Deb and I travel most places are defined in some way or another by the people. Faces always have intrigued me because, as Shakespeare put it, “The eyes are the window to the soul”.
Snapshot Sunday: Sunrise on the Irrawaddy river, Myanmar
Back in 2004 during our South East Asia trip we visited the country of Myanmar. It was one of the hardest countries that we traveled on during this trip but the images were well worth the difficulties. As we boarded a boat to sail down the Irrawaddy river to Bagan it was still dark. As we pulled away from the dock the sun began to rise bathing the river in a magical deep orange glow.
The Incredible Temples of Bagan, Mynmar
Everyone loves ancient ruins. I find that we are drawn to find out about the past and to explore how people lived centuries ago. In Myanmar, we already felt as if we had stepped back in time, but to enter the grounds of Bagan, we definitely felt that nothing had changed here for centuries. Located on the banks of the Ayeyarwaddy River, it is a sight to behold.
Inspiration Through the Eyes of Two Travelers
Dave and I often discuss this idea. Who “up there” decides who will be born in luxury and who will be born in poverty. When we were in Cambodia, we had a hard time accepting ourselves and felt guilty for being who we are. The world is not a fair place and travel opens our eyes to it on a very real and deep level.
Memories of Myanmar
Visiting Burma was one of our most fulfilling travel experiences. It was a difficult travel taking local transport. The 30 hours in transit from Kyaikto to Inle Lake was definitely a difficult journey. We transferred from bus, to van, to the back of a truck to a taxi. It was hot, it was crowded, it was long. But the people were so friendly.
Myanmar’s Golden Rock. A Hidden Treasure
Myanmar’s fabled Golden Rock. A sacred monument balancing on the side of mount Kyaiktiyo. The giant boulder perched on the side of a mountain, threatens to plunge into the Valley below. A pagoda is built on its top and it is covered in solid gold leaves that people leave as an offering to the Gods.
