Antarctica Ice in Photos
What’s the real star of Antarctica? The penguins are adorable, the seals are spectacular and the whales have that “Wow Factor” that take your breath away when they pop up beside your zodiac. They could all easily be the stars of Antarctica. So What is the real star of Antarctica? Ice.
Humpback Whale Breaching in Antarctica
It was another gorgeous day in Antarctica and like much of our time down there, when things happened, they happened in a spectacular fashion. A whale breaching is a rare sight, a whale breaching for 40 minutes and treating 107 spectators to a show is downright unheard of.
New Zealand Photo: Lake Tekapo
We had so many opportunities to take incredible photos in New Zealand. Each scene was more spectacular than the last and Lake Tekapo was no exception. The Church of the Good Shepherd was one of the first churches built in the area and it makes for the perfect photo spot for anyone stopping here for a look.
Intense Incense in Man-Mo Temple, Hong Kong
It was actually difficult studying the interior of the Man-Mo Temple in Hong Kong due to the intense smell of incense, but it was also fascinating.
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.
Storm Clouds Loom in Ushuaia
As we make our way around the tiny town of Ushuaia it is hard not to miss the Portlands. They are the lifeblood of this small city that is the southern most city in the world. Between container ships, Antarctic cruises and other ships this is one busy place. The weather is unpredictable in this part of the world, so when I got the opportunity where it was not raining or snowing I ceased it to grab a few shots of this impressive waterway.
Ushuaia – Fin Del Mundo
The catch phrase for Ushuaia Argentina is Fin Del Mundo (The End of the World) and it truly feels like you are at the bottom of the world when visiting this southernmost city on earth. Many a sailor lost their lives trying to circle Cape Horn, the Northern Boundary of the Drake Passage. Something we’ll be crossing soon.
A Niagara Winery at Sunset
It was nearing the end of our day as we sampled the various ice wines of the Niagara Winery, Jackson-Triggs. The ice wine festival is going on right now and it is an amazing opportunity to embrace the cold and enjoy the unique wines that are created during the bone chilling freeze of winter.
Egypt – A photographic journey
Are you ready to see a different side of Egypt? Being our second time visiting this Middle Eastern jewel gave us the chance to look at it with a different set of eyes. Yes, the pyramids are mesmerizing, but having seen them before, we could look beyond their majesty and take in the atmosphere around us.
Our Favourite Photos of 2011 by Destination
This past year was an interesting one. We got to re-visit some places we had already been but more importantly we got to take in some of our dream destinations for the first time. We thought the best way to show you why we loved all the places we visited was through our favourite photos from each country. So sit back with a cup of coffee and come travel with us for a few moments.
Winter Photos: Cold can be Beautiful
The First Snowfall happened this weekend here in Ontario, Canada and it was beautiful. The world can be stunning in winter. Many people dread the coming snows but we are really looking forward to spending a winter at home in the Great White North. After waking up to a blanket of snow on Friday morning, [...]
Paradise: Tropical Islands in Pictures
I’m Dreaming a Tropical Island. What is it about the islands that make life better? Is it the tropical breeze coming in from the ocean? Lets take you away, far far away to some of the most stunning islands on earth in our collection of Tropical Islands in Pictures.
An Olympus Review: The E-P2 Power and Performance
An Olympus Review of the E-P2 while on the road for the Mongol Rally. I really wanted to put the Olympus E-P2 to the test and what better way than to take it on an adventure of a lifetime
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.
The Port of Marseilles, A Photo of France
Our first stop in Southern France was Marseilles.The French Riviera conjures up images of million dollar yachts, outrageously beautiful people, celebrities and fine living. We were seeing it our little Nissan Micra.
Astana, Kazakhstan: The City at Night
You aren’t alone if you didn’t know much about Kazakhstan. Before going there, we had never heard of it’s capital city Astana, we didn’t know anything about architecture or its people and we didn’t really know what countries bordered it.
A Visual Delight in Chiapas, Mexico
Last week we had the chance to visit the Adventure Travel World Summit in the city of San Cristobal in Chiapas Mexico. They couldn’t have picked a better location.
A Fifth Generation Portrait from Thailand
Taking portraits is one of my favourite forms of photography. When we were traveling through Northern Thailand with The Smiling Albino, we had a gorgeous day walking along the tea terraces. Yes, there are tea terraces in Thailand.
The Boiling Crater of Wai-O-Tapu
What a sight! When they told us we were going to the Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland I was a little skeptical. It sounds like a kids science park. Not really the first thing that comes to mind when you think of the North Island of New Zealand. I was taken by surprise when I entered and [...]
Young Love in Paradise
It seems to me that anyone who has been to Fiji or is dreaming of it has the idea that this small chain of islands in the South Pacific is paradise. Well they would be right. From the crystal clear blue waters, to their unforgettable sunsets Fiji does not disappoint.
