A Himalayan Adventure: Snapshot Sunday
It has been a week of editing video and re-visiting our time at Mount Everest Base Camp. On September 8th we will be putting on a media presentation at Mountain Equipment Co-op in Toronto and it has been incredible looking at our previous posts, videos and photos of our time in Nepal.We had forgotten just how stunning the scenery is in the Khumbu Region. Every day felt as if we could reach out and touch heaven. This photo captures that magic of what we saw every day for almost two weeks while trekking to Everest Base Camp.
Tea Fields of Sri Lanka: Snapshot Sunday
In the central part of Sri Lanka they are known for their tea. We jumped on our mountain bikes and headed into the hills to get a first hand look at the awesome Tea Fields. We were not disappointed.
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.
Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa: Snapshot Sunday
Capetown is a beautiful city, but we didn’t see it right away. When we arrived to Capetown, which was the finish line for our cycling race across Africa, we couldn’t see a thing.
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.
Chateau D’If in Marseille, France: Photo Friday
As we drove along the coast in Marseille looking for a place to stay for the night we couldn’t resist the temptation to pull over and enjoy the sunset. Along the winding roads that hug the coast of Marseille are small inlets where you can pull off the road and enjoy the view. So did just that.
Osprey takes flight in Capilano, B.C. Canada: Snapshot Sunday
As we arrived at the Conservation area we were treated to the sight this Osprey just sitting and waiting by the river for a salmon to jump. Waiting patiently paid off as he sprung into flight I was able to capture this image and was lucky to have the Osprey looking right at me.
Happy 4th of July from Lady Liberty!
Happy 234th birthday to our neighbours to the south! In celebration of the 4th of July weekend here is a photo of Lady Liberty as she watches over New York City from the Harbour. Hope you all have a great weekend!
Mt. McKinley from Denali National Park: Snapshot Sunday
Alaska itself is an amazing place. Great wildlife, a never ending list of adventures and views like this. Denali National Park is over 6 million acres of wilderness and is home to Mount McKinley the highest peak in North America
Homeward Bound in Rajasthan: Snapshot Sunday
As the sunsets over the Thar Desert in Rajasthan, India a lonely local boy, who trudged through the sand from a small village in the distance, heads home after an afternoon of trying to sell tourists a beer in the desert.
Alaska, Land of the Midnight Sun: Snapshot Sunday
We have only been in Alaska for a couple of days but the scenery here is just breathtaking. I was not sure I would get any sunset or night shots here as the sun sets around 1am and rises at 3am. So you have to stay up late.
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.
The Sand Dunes of Peru- Snapshot Sunday
I’m sure the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of Peru is NOT Sand Dunes. Well in Hucachina in Ica province lies a vast desert which will wow you with amazing views, thrill you in a Dune Buggy and put you sand boarding skills to work.
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.
The Dragon Fountain of Versailles – Snapshot Sunday
The Palace of Versailles was something we had always ended up missing on our trips to France. Not for any particular reason it just ended up that way. So we made sure to make a detour this time. To my dismay is was cloudy and stormy that day so I thought photographs would not be very interesting. I decided to make it a black and white day. But after looking at the images when we got back to the hotel the skies were so dramatic I had to keep them as colour. The Dragon Fountain of Versailles caught my eye. It is not as famous as the others but just as impressive! What do you think?
Colza Flower Field in Central France
As you drive through the French countryside almost everywhere you look you will see the Colza flower.
This is harvested mostly for it’s oil which is used in animal feed and can be used in the production of Biofuel. But for us it just makes for a stunningly colorful photo.
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.
The Poppy Fields of France: Snapshot Sunday
Driving through France has afforded us the luxury of seeing some great out of the way places. I am always on the lookout for something interesting to photograph. So as we were driving through Provence in France the other day I caught a flash of red out of the corner of my eye.
Dave and Deb StumbleUpon Barcelona, Spain
We are still traveling in Europe with our StumbleUpon T-shirts and this time we are seeing the sites in Barcelona. A very photo friendly city. It has been fun putting ourselves into our photos and sharing them with the Stumbleupon community. From the street performers on the lively street La Rambla to the top of Barri Gothic Cathedral; At Gaudi’s La Sagrada Familia to the Columbus monument at the Waterfront, we stumbled our way all over the beautiful and vibrant city of Barcelona.
