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.
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.

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.

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 Gateway to America: Ellis Island
When taking a tour to he Statue of Liberty, make sure to stop at Ellis Island for a fascinating look at American History. The Grand Hall has a different view today than it did for new arrivals to the United States at the turn of the century.

Bella Italia! Italy is scrumptious. We only spent 4 days in the Cinque Terre region but it was enough of a taste to know that we want to see more.

It took one hour to capture this shot free of people.
