Today's travel photo is of the Church of the Good Shepherd in Lake Tekapo, New Zealand. This is the first photo I have posted from my recent trip to New Zealand's South Island. This tiny church on the shores of Lake Tekapo is a popular site and has to be the most famous church in [...]
This is day 18 of my 24 day trek through the Khumbu region of Nepal -> View all posts for this trek It had been a long, challenging but incredibly rewarding trek through the Khumbu region of Nepal over the past couple of weeks.

Today's travel photo is of a fountain at Trafalgar Square in London. Trafalgar Square is one of those must visit sites in London as it is such an iconic part of the city. It's a busy place, full of tourists and locals, and the surrounding streets are always busy with traffic. The square sits in [...]

Today's travel photo is of a buffalo in Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania. This buffalo kept a very close eye on me as I took its photo, and it continued to do so until we drove off. If you're chasing the "Big 5" on an African safari, you will need to spot one of these guys.

Melbourne has some beautiful old historic buildings, but the most iconic would have to be Flinders Street Station. I took [...]

At the heart of the city, the two islands of Ile de la Cite and Ile Saint Louis provide a beautiful [...]
Today's travel photo is of Notre Dame Cathedral from the Seine at night in Paris, France. I took this photo after going for a late night walk around the city after dinner one night. The night air was cool and the city was all lit up, making it even more beautiful. River boats were still [...]
