The theme for our travel pics this week is N for Night Scenes. And as the week ends, so too does the night. I have to admit, I’m really proud of this shot. I took it just as the sun ended a peaceful night as we sailed across the Atlantic on the MSC Musica.…
The theme for our travel pics this week is N for Night Scenes. Vietnam’s Halong Bay is, as we’ve mentioned before, a truly magical spot. And that magic doesn’t disappear as the sun goes down. We, as you can see, were anchored fairly close to a number of other boats in the bay – but…
The theme for our travel pics this week is N for Night Scenes. For Friday, it’s a Good Friday scene in Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic. The sun had just gone down on Good Friday in Zona Colonial, the old centre of the oldest Catholic city in the ‘new world’. Shirley…
The theme for our travel pics this week is N for Night Scenes. They say that “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” … but I couldn’t let this stay there. We only spent three nights in Las Vegas – and that was probably enough (since neither Shirley nor I are gamblers) – but…
The theme for our travel pics this week is N for Night Scenes. For Wednesday, our pic is of the MSC Fantasia, taken from on board the MSC Musica in Mallorca, Spain. Mallorca (or Majorca, as the Brits call it) was magic – and it was easy to see why the Costa Del Sol…
The theme for our travel pics this week is N for Night Scenes. This is from Sapa, in Northern Vietnam, on a cool, foggy night. The cloud cover in Sapa for most of the two days we were there was incredibly thick – so thick, in fact, that we couldn’t see the nearby mountain or the…
The theme for our travel pics this week is N for Night Scenes. These will be pictures we have taken on travels near-and-far, at night. Our first is only a short trip from home – to the Queensland Cultural Centre, at South Brisbane. I was here for a series of workshops on freelance journalism,…
The theme for our travel pics this week is M for Madeira. To wrap us up, a lovely view from near the Cabo Girao lookout. It was typical of Madeira – hills, and terraces, and medium density housing – and as my wife pointed out … gum trees! Now, just think about that: if you were to drill…
The theme for our travel pics this week is M for Madeira. Pretty much everywhere you look in Madeira, there’s a church. To be honest, I have no idea what this church is, in the lower third of this image. If you happen to know, I’d be grateful if you could tell me – because I…
The theme for our travel pics this week is M for Madeira. One of the most famous tourist attractions on Madeira is the Monte Toboggan ride. At the top of a hill above Funchal is the Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Monte, or “The Church of Our Lady of the Mountain.” It’s a beautiful Catholic church…
