Driving through a Welsh village on a sunny day, the heavens suddenly opened and gave way to a huge downpour of water and white skies where the sun was trying to break through. This once bright church now appeared like a graveyard from a horror movie, and as people started disappearing from the busy street we […]
Photo Of The Week: Blending Into The English Countryside
July 29, 2011 by 1 Comment
ATE7FFCSPUK3 While I’ve always been a city girl, I can’t shake my ties to the country – I grew up in a small town in the Australian state of Victoria, and when city life gets too much you’ll always find me escaping out to where it’s green and the air is fresh. This photo was taken last year […]
Photo Of The Week – The Colours Of A Moroccan Souk
July 15, 2011 by 4 Comments
Morocco is one colourful country – from the terracotta desert sands to the bright fabrics sold in a souk in Marrakech, everywhere you turn it’s aesthetically appealing. If you happen to be keen on travel photography, then bump this place to the top of your list – some of my most cherished travel snaps were taken here and […]
Photo Of The Week – Looking Into Communist Bratislava
July 8, 2011 by 7 Comments
Looking out from the top of Bratislava Castle across the river Danube you can still see the remnants of the Communist regime which ruled the city until as recently as 1989, when the country of Slovakia was born and the region of Czechoslovakia was finally dissolved. I thought it was rather fitting that the day […]
Photo Of The Week – The Auschwitz Death Wall
July 1, 2011 by 8 Comments
Not a time in history that any of us like to remember, but one that we must – Auschwitz will go down as being the most brutal and cruel concentration camps of World War II. Visiting the camp on a blustery Autumn day last year the sheer size of the camp left me not only […]
Photo Of The Week – The Backwards Delhi Runner
June 17, 2011 by 6 Comments
Delhi is a wonderfully mad city – from wild animals roaming the streets to the colourful tuk tuk drivers and overzealous locals – anything goes in the Indian capital! So it wasn’t very surprising on a wander through the gardens surrounding the India monument and presidential palace that we came across a ‘backwards runner’ who […]
Photo Of The Week – Who Cycles In A Snow Storm?!
June 10, 2011 by 5 Comments
This photo captures one of my fondest travel memories. It was taken last year on a trip to Helsinki when we were visiting Suomenlinna, the archipelago Army island just off the mainland which was once used as an 18th century fortress. It was the middle of winter – definitely not tourist season in a city where […]
Photo Of The Week – The ‘Delhi Squiggly’
June 3, 2011 by 10 Comments
You don’t ask whats in a Squiggly, you just enjoy it. If you really wanted to know the nutritional content of this famous Delhi street food, then you probably shouldn’t be eating it…and for the record, it’s pretty much just flour, sugar and fat, but man, do they taste good! While we were only in Delhi for […]
Photo Of The Week – Melbourne Graffiti
May 27, 2011 by 9 Comments
One of the things I love most about Melbourne (and there’s a lot!) is the laneways weaving amongst it’s central business district – unless you knew they were there you could walk past every day and have no idea of the colourful street art just metres away. Melbourne graffiti really took off in the 70’s […]
Photo Of The Week – The Grand Canyon Illusion
May 20, 2011 by 7 Comments
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 […]
