Spectacular South Africa Wildlife Photos
A South African safari is quite different from safaris you’ll have in other countries. Many of the reserves here are private game reserves spread over thousands of acres of land. The owners, mostly family run, stock their reserves with wildlife including the big five (among all the other animals) and chances are pretty good that [...]
Shark Diving, In the Cage with Great Whites
It’s the ultimate adventure. We never thought we’d be shark diving with great whites in our lives and yet here we were climbing in the cage off the Coast of South Africa to witness these creatures in person. This only happens in the movies or on TV doesn’t it? But now, Dave and Deb are [...]
Lion King of the Masai Mara
We had just returned from a magnificent hot air balloon ride over the Masai Mara when our guide Makau asked us if we wanted to go out on a late morning game drive. “We think we’ll wait until this afternoon and have a nap instead.” we replied. “Did you see any male lions?” He asked. [...]
Have you Realized Your Potential?
The start of a new year always ignites a spark in us to create change. Whether you believe in making a New Year’s Resolution or not, there is something about this time of year that compels a person to re-evaluate their life. It was in 2007 that we made a New Years Resolution that completely [...]
Year in Pictures – Best of 2012
A picture says a thousand words. Nothing captures a moment in time quite like a photograph. You can describe your feelings and what you are seeing with words, but all it takes is a snapshot to instantly transform the reader to a time and place. We travelled to over 20 destinations on 5 continents this year, [...]
12 Amazing Adventures of 2012
The end of the year is quickly approaching and you know what that means? It’s time for round ups and top 10’s. For Dave and I, the adventures are over until 2013 so as we enjoy relaxing moments in front of the fire, catching up on films and reading a good book, we have been [...]
The Cheetah and The Big 5 – A Photo Wrap Up
The Cheetah may not be one of the Big 5 animals of Africa, but it is one of the most regal animals you will witness in the wild. In the Masai Mara, this cheetah was the first of the big cats we saw. It laid on a rock for some time before deciding to move [...]
A Journey Through The Pyrenees
Travel through the Pyrenees is a feast for the eyes and a treat to the senses. I mean that in every way. The food, the drink the company and most importantly the scenery will give you sheer pleasure every day. We had the opportunity to travel through some of the most beautiful landscape in Europe [...]
Antelope Canyon – A Photo Essay
These photos of Antelope Canyon are going to blow your mind. Seriously! Not that I am bias or anything. The photographer who took them just so happens to be my husband, but when he showed my his collection of photos from our day at Antelope Canyon in Page, Arizona, I was floored. I truly think [...]
Catalunya Spain in Photos a Magical Region
The Catalunya region of Spain is so diverse. From the architecture of Gaudi to the beauty of the Pyrenees it seems to have it all. I wanted to capture the beauty of Catalunya Spain in photos and put them all together in one photo story. We had the chance to experience so many great moments [...]
The Island of Lanai in Photos
The Hawaiian island of Lanai was surprising as you can see from these travel photos. We thought we’d be visiting a tropical island filled with beaches lined with coconut trees.
Extraordinary Cenotes, Mexico in Photos
A beautiful collection of Mexico in photos featuring cenotes. These underground caves are located all around Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula.
Let your Travel Photos Shine and Capture the Colour
As a travel photographer I spend a lot of time looking at travel photos. I try to pick out unique themes that will interest our readers.
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.
Antarctica Ice in Photos
Antarctica Ice. That’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 but they’re not. The real star of Antarctica? Ice We couldn’t [...]
Machu Picchu and the Land of the Incas
Peru was one of those destinations that completely astounded Dave and I.There was no way we were going to miss seeing Machu Picchu and since we only had two weeks in the country, we made a beeline to the star attraction.
Egypt – A photographic journey
Are you ready to see a different side of Egypt? Being the 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 [...]
Petra Jordan, The Lost City by Day
Petra wasn’t voted one of the New 7 Wonders of the world for nothing! Petra, Jordan is one of those places that really lives up to the hype. We saw it for the first time in the dark when we visited Petra by Night. While the actual performance of traditional music was less than stellar, the [...]
Walking Amman
It was an incredible 10 days in Jordan and it started off right with our stay at the luxurious Four Seasons Amman. Upon our return, we were eager to see how people lived in Jordan’s largest city.
A Bedouin Girl
The eyes of this bedouin girl in Jordan really pull you into the photograph. When she came running up to me outside the village of Feynan she posed happily for this photo.
