Went to swim there 3 days ago and it was amazing. The water is so unbelievably clear, you can swim in the pools while the waves outside are over a meter high and not notice anything of it. Also there’s lots of fish for snorkeling

On the slopes between Käserstatt and Mägisalp in the Swiss alps. Hasliberg overlooks the Haslital and Lake Brienz with Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau (Top of Europe) on the other side....

I had to drive to Sacramento for a work conference this week, and took this photo as the sun rose over Mono Lake. I did like the haze over the tufa towers near the shoreline. Enjoy.

Last night had perfect conditions for a sunset shot of Capela do Senhora da Pedra, just south of Porto, in Vila Nova de Gaia, in northern Portugal. Fujifilm XT5, 16mm, ISO500, f22, 1.5ss

I took this the morning of Aug. 14, 2023. The sun was shining through clouds. It rained off and on all morning. This was on a short backpack in. My son’s girlfriend had never been backpacking before, so we took her on this short overnighter. Taken with a Canon R5, 15-35mm f/2.8L lens.

It’s also a great place to unleash your inner Fossil Hunter at the worlds richest source of dinosaur fossils. BTW, this is Cretaceous Park. Velos and Tyrannosaurus did NOT exist in the Jurassic Period! Here is where they are found!

Going on a self-drive safari is easier than you probably think. At least as long as you do it in South Africa, and preferably in Kruger National Park, where all kinds of facilities are available. If you’re not used to spotting animals on your own, stay in the southern part of the park, where you can just drive around and look...

My partner and I took a day trip to Lugano from Como last fall. While the price of Swiss food was a bit steep compared to Italy, and the fog spoiled our photos from atop the Alps, there were so many incredible, photo-worthy sites on the ground....

For texture, the creators of this temple punched thousands of holes on the stones about 5,000 years ago. The effect was really cool. Malta.

Not a big fan of the local government, but their airlines and hubs are often the only practical alternative to get to some unusual destinations.

This was just before the whole Rohingya thing got started. I wouldn’t go now. But seeing the sun rise above the many temples of Bagan veiled in the mist from thousands of wood stoves being fired up to cook breakfast is really something.

This is in Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan. Among many, many strange things, this one actually stands out a little bit. If you’re into architecture that involves a lot of gold and marble, you can’t find a better place to visit.
