In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Grid.”
For this week’s challenge, I’m revisiting some favourite places from my travels..
In response to The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge.
A close friend and I decided to have a getaway (with babies in tow) to our home town of Sydney, and we couldn’t have picked a better weekend for it. It was a tough gig – not!
Sydney Harbour
In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Beneath Your Feet.”
Beneath my feet lies a glacier. It was quite a surreal experience – like standing on top of a glassy blue sea..
For this week’s photo challenge, I managed to find some compliant (or maybe they’re just shameless) fish who remained still enough to be snuck upon..
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Symbol.”
So many possibilities this week, but if I was to choose one, it would be this image, which to me symbolises steadfastness against the passage of time. Imagine all the things these symbols have seen..
A few years ago I was in Rajasthan India, a part of the world filled with the most beautiful antique doors, which beckoned indiscriminately towards humble homes and ornate palaces alike. These are a few examples from my trip. I have also include a shot I took on the Inca Trail of a doorway high up in the mountains, looking out onto the misty mountainside. I think this photo captures the ‘otherworldliness’ of this place quite well..
Some difficult decisions were made in determining the inspiration for this week’s photo challenge, however I think what keeps me coming back, and moving forward searching for more, is that place where water meets the sky, and the colours they make together.
This week’s challenge makes me think of “off-season” travels, when the weather isn’t as bad as the travel guide says it will be, but you get to experience special parts of the world without the usual hoardes of tourists at every stop.
London ‘not-in the summertime’ means not having to stand 10 people deep in front of every painting at the National Gallery.
We had this little corner of Prague all to ourselves for a brief moment.
Winter in Venice.
This is Colona, not far from Buenos Aires. It’s so very quaint (and quiet) in the off-season.
The usually inviting Pacific Ocean is looking unseasonably uninviting on its South American shores, in Lima, Peru.
This week’s photo challenge from the Daily Post is On the Way. I always find that the most special moments in my travels are usually captured on the road, and this week’s challenge was a chance to revisit some of my favourites from Peru.
Almost the end of the journey, along the Inca Trail.
Some of the amazing scenery captured along the Inca Trail.
For this week’s post, I’m sharing some special examples of Something Broken which I have come across in my travels..
A well known broken nose.
The headless Venus at the Louvre.
A broken person being held up high.
The remnants of an ancient culture in Rome.
