Gondola Parking in Venice, Italy
For decades Venice Gondolas have been romanticized in the movies and ever since seeing Katherine Hepburn cruising through the canals in Summertime, people have flocked to Venetia to listen to That’s Amoré while being slowly pushed through its famous waterways.
A Post Office in Antarctica? You Betcha!
Yes, there is a Post office in Antarctica at Port Lockroy. It seems that everyone is trying to lay claim to Antarctica. So, what did the British do to make their claim stronger? They opened a post office of course.
Ancient Rome in Photos
Ancient Rome is Fascinating. Especially in photos. Looking at the city from both night and day gives you a different feeling. Streets are crazy busy during the day yet hauntingly peaceful at night.
Sunset from a Sea Kayak, Thailand
Exploring the Hongs of thailand is an amazing experience. Especially when it is done from the seat of a kayak. Going with the ebb and flow of the tide allows you access to secret caves that are seldom explored.
Sunrise over Sri Lanka
As we reached the summit of Adams Peak innSri Lanka we were treated to an amazing sunrise. Suddenly the agonizing climb up those steep stairs seemed worth it.As the chill in the air faded the warmth of the sun hit our faces.
A Stormy day in Yangshuo, China
The clouds loomed, but the colours popped on these Chili’s that were set out to dry. Cycling through the Karst formations that surround Yanshuo was one of the highlights of being in China
The Vibrant waters of the Dead Sea in Jordan
The Dead Sea in Jordan does not disappoint. From its vibrant blue waters to its high salt content it is unlike any other body of water in the world. This photo from high above gives you an idea of the contrasting landscape that Jordan has to offer.
A Gaze over a Barren Landscape
The barren landscape over the Thar desert in Rajasthan makes for an incredible background especially at sunset. You can just see Pakistan in the distance.
Animal Photos of the Galapagos
The Galapagos Islands are home to some fascinating species of animals. Here, off the coast of Ecuador, you will experience some of the best wildlife and bird watching in the world
Sierra Negra, Galapagos Up Close with an Active Volcano
Visiting the Sierra Negra in the Galapagos is an excellent day hike on San Isabella Island. As luck would have it though, today’s hike over lava fields and hot rocks was spent under ominous clouds keeping us safe from the sun.
The Jain Temple Guardian, India
When travelling to India, you will see many Jain temples scattered throughout the country. The temples that we visited had many a marble pillar. The Ranakpur Temple has 1444 marble pilars to be exact and is considered one of the finest Jain temples in the country.
The Chinstrap Stretch in Antarctica
Penguins really are as cute as they look. As someone said to us from our expedition to Antarctica, they could watch penguins play all day, the common penguin retains it’s cuteness throughout the entire trip.
Ice Sculptures at Night at Winterlude Ottawa
There’s no doubt about it. The star attraction of Winterlude in Ottawa, Canada is the Crystal Garden. Especially when the Rideau Canal is closed due to warm weather.
The Ominous Deception Island in Antarctica
Deception Island. It’s an island of doom where the worst acts of human nature played out on its shores. A land of slaughter and blood situated on an active volcano waiting to erupt.
Deception Island was an old whalers station and all that is left of it today is a reminder of just how cruel human beings can be. Giant rusting barrels used to boil whale fat and decaying whale bones litter the beach and there is a feel of gloom hanging heavy in the air.
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.
