a picture is worth a thousand words: Sleeping with zebras

November 24, 2009

We camped on the rim of the Ngorogoro crater enroute to our safari in Tanzania. It was the coldest night of the month-long trip. The showers were freezing, the wind was cold and I couldn’t keep warm that entire evening. I was up most of the night shivering into the cold tent, listening to our [...]

Big sky Africa

November 23, 2009

A big sky in Tanzania’s Serengeti. In a quiet moment just before darkness, a herd of elephants passes us by. See the large version here.

a picture is worth a thousand words: Open Windows

November 12, 2009

This was taken from our hotel window in Sienna. We had such luck here. We booked the hotel upon arriving at the train station and realized once we go there that we were staying in the Civetta neighbourhood – the winning contrada of this year’s Palio race. The hotel was old, gorgeous and large – [...]

A picture is worth a thousand words: Sky high in Verona

November 5, 2009

Traveling through Italy in the heat of August may sound crazy to some (heck, most of the locals flee the country during this time) but to me, it was heaven. There is nothing more sensual than walking through ancient villages in the hot humid heat of the Italian summer sun. Your mind turns to mush, [...]

A picture is worth a thousand words: Fire in the sky

November 4, 2009

It felt like fire in the sky.  A July sunset in the middle of the Serengeti.  I’ve never seen anything more beautiful. It’s hard to put myself back in the mindset of Africa today.  Such a crazy time warp to look back on some of these pictures and remember how life was then.  It was [...]

On looking Brazilian in Italy

October 26, 2009

Wow, do I ever look dark in this photograph.  A month in Africa and then a month in Italy will do this to you.  I’m finally starting to get around to processing oh, about 1000 or so pictures from the last 4 months of travel.  It is hard work and really needs some time. This [...]

Gangplanks of Iguazu

October 22, 2009

This was shot just a little over a year ago when Mom and I visited Iguazu falls on the border of Brazil and Argentina. It was a perfect time to go – off season, warm and quiet. There were no crowds and we had nearly the entire park to ourselves. Waterfalls are always difficult to [...]

A picture is worth a thousand words: The Peak in Hong Kong

October 22, 2009

This is an oldie, but a goodie. Taken in November 08 during a trip to China with JS. Hong Kong is a fusion of British influences and Chinese history. The food is magnificent: fresh razor clams, garlic crabs, fish noodles. We spoiled ourselves with foot massages and explored the chaos of Kowloon markets. Such a [...]
