Travel Theme – Multiples

Ailsa over at Where’s my backpack? has posted “multiples” as this week’s travel theme.

A few things came to mind and I was very tempted and inspired by one of Ailsa’s photos to head over to the M&M store in London and do some fun photo shoots in there (not sure if they would have let me…). But then I remembered this photo that I took at a market in Budapest, Hungary, last year and figured it’s a perfect fit.

Wild Weekly Photo Challenge – Flying

I am an easy flight passenger. I don’t get scared while on a plane usually and I love the views that you get from high up. During a trip in Alaska all those assumptions were challenged.

I took an amazing trip up crossing the Arctic Circle and visiting an Eskimo village at Anaktuvuk Pass. It was an amazing visit to a small community that lives pretty much in isolation. The only access is by plane from the Anaktuvuk Pass Airport, which is really is just a gravel airstrip. The plane that took us back to Fairbanks was a 9-seater little commuter plane. I sat just behind the pilots. Even that wasn’t scary.

The moment I started wondering about the marvels and technology of flying was when the pilots took out a map – a regular paper map (granted it probably wasn’t a regular map…) – and checked their position in the mountain range…

A marvelous flying experience nonetheless or even more for it. 🙂

I’m participating in the online adventure travel magazine LetsBeWild.com’s Wild Weekly Photo Challenge for bloggers. This week’s Challenge is: Flying!

Travel Theme – Circles

I am loving this week’s travel theme from Where is my backpack: Circles.

I took plenty of photos this summer of the Olympics and as I am – still – trying to sort through them and am trying to decide which ones will make my photobooks (books, yes, I don’t think it will be just one book…), I found this one: perfect for this week’s theme.

Travel Theme: Bright

This week’s travel theme is bright, which is rather fitting as we changed clocks and the mornings are much brighter again.

I love the vibrant colors of fresh vegetables. They remind me of all the right reasons to eat healthy and fresh food. I took these pictures at a local market just recently to remind myself that even in the fall and winter, we can find fresh produce (maybe not all the ones I took photos of. LOL).

Travel Theme: Spooky

This week’s timely travel theme is spooky. Ghosts dancing on the lawn are definitely on the spooky side, though these guys look like good ghosts who wouldn’t spook you too much. Or do they?
