Today's travel photo is of some art for sale in Piazza Trinita dei Monti in Rome, Italy. This piazza is located at the top of the Spanish Steps and dominated by the Trinita dei Monti Church. I just loved walking around the cobblestone streets and piazzas of Rome.
Today's travel photo is of a father and son riding a horse and cart on the island of Koh Trong in Kratie, Cambodia. Koh Trong is a fairly large island in the Mekong River, and it's only a short boat ride away from Kratie. I took this photo while cycling around the island for the [...]
The Reunification Palace is the former Presidential Palace of the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam), located in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). Formerly known as the Independence Palace, this grand structure was built on the site of the French built Norodom Palace which was destroyed during a bombing in 1962. Until 1975, this is where [...]
Today's travel photo is of an old rickety house in the historic gold mining town of Sofala, Australia. Located north of Bathurst in New South Wales, Sofala was once a bustling gold mining settlement in the 1800's. Like most mining towns, it dwindled once the gold ran out, but somehow many of it's old buildings [...]
Today's travel photo is of Wat Rong Khun (The White Temple) in Chiang Rai, Thailand. This is a modern temple, built in the late 90's, but it is unlike any that I have seen in Thailand. The fact that it is completely white is only the start. Its somewhat unconventional artwork is what really makes [...]
Today's travel photo is of a herd of wildebeest in front of a huge flock of flamingos on a lake in Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania. I was amazed by the huge herds of animals that live in Ngorongoro. Unlike other parks in Tanzania, there is water here all year round, so the animals never need to [...]
Today's travel photo is of the inside of the Central Post Office in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam. The Central Post Office is a beautiful late 19th century French Colonial building, designed by Gustave Eiffel himself. It's located opposite the Notre Dame Cathedral, so you can easily visit both of these interesting sites at [...]
Today's travel photo is of a rural road scene in the country outside of Vang Vieng in Laos. I took this photo while taking a bicycle ride to Poukham Cave and the Blue Lagoon. It was rice planting season at the time of year that I visited, so most of the rice fields had either [...]
When we finally made it to Siem Reap to visit the Temples of Angkor in Cambodia, I had no idea where to start. Should we do what most people do and just head straight to Angkor Wat? Should we visit Ta Phrom, Banteay Srei or some of the lesser visited temples first? I spent a [...]
Today's travel photo is of a very crowded Tuk Tuk in Battambang, Cambodia. I took this photo while exploring the streets of the city to view its interesting old French Colonial Buildings. This Tuk Tuk went past me and was crowded with about twelve people piled into it, mostly school kids all laughing and chatting [...]
