Today's travel photo is of a walking path in the countryside near Silchester, England. This is the walking path that leads to the ancient Roman ruins at Silchester, and it is a pleasant walk past lush farm fields and small stands of forest.
Today's travel photo is the view of a quiet street in the Old Quarter of Hanoi in Vietnam. I took this photo while having a beer on the balcony of a bar/restaurant that I came across. It was a good spot to just watch life go by on the street below. Also, it only cost [...]
Today's travel photo is of the Pont des Arts crossing the Seine to the Institut de France in Paris, France. There really is nothing quite like going for a stroll along the Seine at any part of the day in Paris. There is something almost poetic about it. The Pont des Arts is famous for [...]
Today's photo is of the sky and clouds reflecting on the water of Lake Manchester in Southeast Queensland, Australia. I took this photo a couple of weeks ago while hiking the 17km trail around the lake. It was a very peaceful walk along the lake's edge and then up in the surrounding forested hills. I [...]

The cathedral in Salisbury is one of England's largest and most important Anglican churches. The font in this photo is a modern addition to the 13th century church, and used for baptisms. I liked the reflective [...]

Of all of Henry's palaces and castles, only two remain standing today. Situated on the Thames in Surrey, just upstream of London, Hampton Court Palace has stood for 500 [...]
Today's photo is of an afternoon view of the Pyramide du Louvre and Napoleon Courtyard at Palais du Louvre in Paris, France. This is the typical view of the Louvre that you get when walking up to the entrance. During the day this courtyard is packed full of tourists lined up to enter the Pyramid [...]
Today's travel photo is of a Southern Humpback Whale breaching the water on the Gold Coast, Australia. I snapped this shot during my recent whale watching cruise with Sea World on the Gold Coast. I was happy just to have spotted some whales, but when they started putting on a show for us, I was [...]
