The Grand Canyon is more than just a valley, that’s for sure. At its widest point it stretches over 16 miles wide, yet when you’re standing there looking out into its vast open crevice, it looks no more than a couple of hundred metres…crazy! I kept trying to train my eye to see that actually […]
Photo Of The Week – Vegas Lights
May 13, 2011 by 9 Comments
They say that ‘what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas’ so by this law, taking photos along the strip should technically be banned. Lucky for me I was able to steal away some memories of the trip, and no thanks to the dollar margaritas we managed to find on our first day, have some proof […]

Indians love their cricket. This quickly become apparent to us from flicking through the never-ending number of 24/7 cricket channels on Indian TV, and also from the fact that virtually everywhere you turned, someone was either holding a bat, ball or set of wickets. eagerly awaiting their next over. While wandering the sprawling grounds of the […]

April 29, 2011 by 5 Comments
I visited Tallin in January and having not really heard a lot about it, I was blown away by how stunning it was. Pastel buildings, castle rooftops covered in snow and as dusk came around there was the most beautiful golden hue in the air. I took this picture from a lookout point in the […]

April 15, 2011 by 4 Comments
When opened in 1839, Highgate Cemetery soon became a fashionable place for burials, and was a much admired and visited London site. The attitude to death in the Victorian era led to the creation of a wealth of Gothic tombs and buildings throughout the grounds, which now is the resting place for many famous artists […]

April 8, 2011 by 5 Comments
Travel to Greece and you’ll no doubt enjoy a sunset or two, particularly if you visit one of the islands, like Mykynos. Mykynos is one of those places where it’s exactly like you see in pictures – The cobalt blue and white houses, winding pathways and lots of beautiful sun-kissed people. While I found the island quite touristy […]

On a recent trip to Bangkok I stayed just off Sukhumvit Rd and loved walking along there watching all the crazy drivers, feeling the breeze from tuk tuks whizzing past, and scoping out my next street food hit. I took this photo walking into one of the BTS stations which snakes the line of Sukhumvit Rd […]
Photo Of The Week – Krakow Horse and Cart Ranks

A lot goes on in Krakow’s main square, Rynek Glowny – Tourists angling for the best shot of the city’s Town Hall Tower, local street vendors tempting you with their giant bread pretzels, and not least of all, the organisation of horse and cart drivers into a very civil taxi-like rank. The sight of a winding conga […]

Otherwise known as the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe this 19,000 square metre space in the middle of Berlin is covered with 2,711 concrete slabs of varying heights, arranged to form a maze-like grid. Upon walking down the slope and into the middle of the memorial, the concrete gets higher and higher, eventually […]
Photo Of The Week – Giza Pyramids By Dusk
March 10, 2011 by 7 Comments
The amount of traffic in Cairo and Giza puts any Western city to shame – the beeping, the swerving – and if you manage to come home without a cough from the smog, you’re doing well. When I visited Giza I stayed on the busiest road which leads to the Pyramids, Al Ahram, and the stunning […]
