Travel Pics Theme: U for Undulations. Grand Canyon, AZ

This week’s theme is U – for Undulations.   It might have been 6 million years ago that the Colorado River started cutting through the deserts of Arizona. Or it might have been 17 million years ago. It could even have been as long ago as 70 million years ago. But whenever it was it…

Travel Pics Theme: On the Road Again! London Bridge in Arizona

  When I was a young teen, I remember hearing about a loony American millionaire who had bought the London Bridge, and had it shipped to Arizona, brick by brick. We just put it down to eccentricity – one of those “Only in America” stories. Then, this week, Shirley and I drove across that bridge,…

Travel Pics Theme: On the Road Again! Winslow – a world crossroads.

  If I ever had any doubt about the impact that popular music can have on the tourism industry, that was dispelled on Sunday, when Shirley and I rocked up to Winslow, Arizona. If the name doesn’t mean anything to you, you are either too young, or live in a country that never played The Eagles…

Travel Pics Theme: On the Road Again! Flying the Flag.

  As an Australian – for whom patriotism is a quiet, abiding, but largely personal thing – the ‘in-your-face flag waving of Americans is a bit surprising at times. On our first visit to the US, we went to Hawaii – and one of the first things I noticed (and photographed) was the number of…

Travel Pics Theme: On the Road Again! El Malpais

If you will excuse the indulgence, today’s #Travelpic is, in many ways, a bit like the relationship between me and my lovely wife, Shirley. I have always loved sandstone, and the way that single grains of sand can bind together under pressure – to create something sold and strong, and yet malleable and shaped by…
