Zebras Running at Addo Elephant National Park

While we went to the Addo Elephant National Park to see the elephants, there were plenty of other wildlife to see. Here we passed a small herd of zebra that were off to the races. Maybe our vehicle spooked them? We did see other zebra at Addo, a lioness overlooking the valley, and even disturbed [...]
Parked Boats on the Seine at Sunset

I went traveling to France, and Paris specifically, for a friend’s wedding. I didn’t realize that the reception was going to be on a boat on the Seine. After boarding our boat in the late afternoon, we started our cruise…with champagne in hand. I really loved seeing Paris from this perspective. Boats, bridges, monuments like [...]

While with my parents traveling in Namibia and South Africa, we stopped off at a farm near Gobabis, Namibia, owned by family of some of my friends. About a year earlier, they adopted a baby warthog. These things are so ugly, they are cute! Canon was his name and he was so tame. He craved [...]

Of all the shots, I’ve been posting for the last year, I think this one is one of my all-time favorites. Taken in Mykonos while traveling in Greece, it captures the island beautifully. Whitewashed exteriors are accented with just a touch of color, often blue, but not exclusively. Nearby is Mykonos’ bustling center filled with [...]

I took my niece with me to travel to Greece for three weeks. And, there was one thing on her mind – BEACH! So, I worked in tours to some of the historical sites, but the rest of the time was spent finding Greece’s top beaches. When we hit Santorini, we stayed over on the [...]
Valley View From Delphi

Posted On: January 27th, 2012
Located to the northwest of Athens, Delphi is one of the most famous historical sites that you’ll see while traveling in Greece. In a country filled with historical ruins, Delphi stands out. The grounds are set in the mountains so a pair of hiking boots wouldn’t be completely unwarranted. But, you don’t have to be [...]
Plunging Cliffs on Ireland’s West Coast

The cliffs off the west coast of Ireland are legendary, especially the Cliffs of Moher. But, further down the coast you can get even closer to them. We arrived to the west coast late in the afternoon from Dublin and just stopped along the way…as you do on a road trip. I’m not even sure, [...]
Castle on West Coast of Ireland
Written By: jeff
Posted On: January 13th, 2012
I found the castles while traveling in Ireland curious. Small, tall, not terribly imposing but interesting. Most that I saw seemed completely abandoned. Yet many, like this one on the west coast, maintained its regal dignity and made for great landscape shots. I honestly can’t remember the name of this castle. I took this photo [...]
Juan Valdez Parading Around

Posted On: January 6th, 2012
Growing up, I saw the old commercials showing Juan Valdez in the coffee fields picking coffee. I thought that Juan Valdez was just a marketing creation for the US market. But, I learned after my first trip to Colombia that Juan (or J-Val as I like to call him) is the local and global embodiment [...]
Botero’s Apples

You can’t travel to Colombia and not hear about Botero. He’s the one that paints and sculpts the fat people. Not everyone gets his style or what he’s trying to convey, but his work always gets a conversation started. There are two primary places to see his work in Colombia. There’s Botero Park in Medellin.
