Our Favourite Photographs by Country 2010
Our favourite travel photographs by country of 2010. We had amazing photo opportunities during our travels to 10 countries in 2010. These are the best moments we had.
New York 9/11: A day to Remember
Today marks nine years since the towers came down in New York City. No event in my lifetime has had such an impact on the world, changing the way we live forever. While war still rages on and people are still dying today, let us pause and think of the innocent people all around the world that are affected by the actions of a small few. Let us hope that one day soon violence will not be the answer.
The World in Black and White: A Photostory
With the advent of digital cameras most people don’t really think of photographing in Black and White. Well I think people are missing out. If you look back over time you will see that some of the most striking and evoking photographs were taken in Black and White. It gives images a certain impact. Ansel Adams is a perfect example.
National Geographic Destinations, We’ve captured them too!
We thought it would be fun for this Photo Story Friday to compare some of our photo’s to those of National Geographic. We tried to choose photo’s that were places we had been before and had a similar subject matter. In doing this it was a great learning experience.
The Flora and Fauna of Alaska: A Photostory
Alaska is full of Flora and Fauna that if you spend enough time here you can literally see it all. From Bald eagles and Humpback whales to beautiful wild flowers and amazing National Parks. Alaska really has something for everyone.
Discovering Egypt: A Photo Story
Discovering Egypt was a lot of fun. From Cairo to the Valley of the Kings, Egypt has so much to offer. Weather you are looking for adventure or luxury Egypt has it all.
Paris at night: A Photo Story
Paris is a beautiful city during the day. But is nice to see it lit up at night. Unfortunately they turn all of the lights off on the monuments and bridges at Midnight. Considering it doesn’t get dark until 10:30pm it doesn’t give one much of a chance to get a lot of shots in one night.
Festivals and Celebrations of the World- A Photo Story
From Thaipusam in Malaysia to the 500yr anniversary of the town of Hampi in India, we seem to have the knack of being in the right place at the right time. Below are just 5 of the crazy festivals we have been lucky enough to experience.
Around the World one Sunset at a time!
I think one of the favorite things people enjoy looking at is a beautiful sunset. Somehow as that sun sets on the horizon it seems to make you forget the days stress and gives you that sense of Ahhhh!
Wildlife of the World; A Photo Story
When people think of adventure travel they don’t really think of Wildlife photography. But being a big fan of any type of photography I like to push my limits. Photographing wildlife is a challenge as anyone can tell you. From birds in your back yard to the Big 5 in Africa they all require different skills.
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”.
Our Favourite Treks of the World; A Photo Story
Through our many travels around the globe we have had the privilege of participating in some amazing treks. From the Highest Peak in South East Asia, Mt. Kinabalu, to the grueling high altitude trek up to Mt. Everest Base camp. These are some of our favorites.
The Himalayan Yaks; A Photo Story
No day on our Mount Everest Base Camp Adventure would have been complete without having to spend at least 2 or 3 times dodging the infamous Yak trains that ply the trails through the Himalayas. My last photo story, The Sherpas of Mt Everest, looked at the human heroes this week we pay tribute to our woolly friends who carry supplies to all of the small towns that dot the landscape of this great mountain range.
The Sherpa’s of Mt. Everest; A Photo Story
Everyone who has ever heard of Mt. Everest has heard of Tenzing Norgay. The famous Sherpa who was the first, along side Sir Edmund Hillary, to summit the worlds tallest peak. Since then there have countless Sherpa’s who have given their lives carrying food, supplies and even clients on this mountain.
Our favorites from India: A Photo Story
India had some beautiful sights to see. Here are some of our favorite shots from out time in this interesting country.
The Many Faces of India: A Photo Story
As we prepare to leave India we thought it only fitting to show you the many faces of this country. We met many people on our travels and these are just a few . We hope you enjoy them!
Hampi Ruins, a Photo Story
One of our favorite places in India was the ancient city of Hampi. We had told you about this place way back in December, but as Dave was going through his photos the other day, we decided that words just couldn’t do justice to this spectacular site.What makes Hampi unique is that while it is a world heritage site and the ruins are impressive, the people of the land live, breathe and work among its walls.
Tsunami Five Years Later: A Photo Story
It has been over 5 years since the Tsunami devastated the coast of Sri Lanka. Over 50,000 people were killed and thousands more injured and displaced. he wounds are slowly disappearing as businesses are being rebuilt, roads are cleared and the landscape has recovered, but the scars still remain and there are still signs of the destruction that the mighty ocean left behind. Dave has captured the southern coast of Sri Lanka today in photos. Its i a reminder of the great suffering that the people faced after the event but also the resilience of the human spirit and how a nation has slowly recovered over time.
Temples of India and Sri Lanka: A Photostory
We have seen some pretty extraordinary temples in our three months of traveling through India and Sri Lanka. From the Taj Mahal to the summit of Adams Peak, temples are a way of life in these spiritual countries. We will be seeing many more I am sure, but here is a photo story of some of the great temples that we have witnessed on our Asian Adventure.
Adam’s Peak Pilgrimage – A Photostory from Sri Lanka
A Photo story that documents our climb up Adams Peak in Sri Lanka. It is a pilgrimage that is done each year by thousands.
