First up, Happy Birthday
to all concerned with the
Lens Artist Challenge.
The My Choice theme has seen me needing to curtail my choices….
and still there are too many images.
Sorry.
I have quite a few ‘favourites’ of Corio Bay.
This is one of them.
The Het Zand Square fountain in Brugge, Belgium.
Special, because I like the fountain and it was
our first night on the European continent.
In Canada’s Rocky Mountains,
in the province of Alberta is the Columbia Icefield.
It was here on the Athabasca Glacier that many of us
experienced falling snow for the first time in June 2018.
Our visit to Wiseman in Alaska
took us further north than ever before.
At 67.41 Degrees North and
63 miles north of the Arctic Circle,
took us further north than ever before.
Prior to last year my furthest north was
about a half-hour drive north
of Loch Lomond in Scotland.
October 2018 was also when we visited
Shires Rest and Hobbit movie set
in New Zealand.
Definitely the first of our wonderful travel experiences
was the last evening and an unexpected game drive
of our 2013 African Safari.
We came across Limpy and her cubs.
For around 20 minutes we had these two cubs
within a few metres of our vehicle.
A day or two ago I read on Facebook
of a Namibian tusker being shot.
When beasts will come to within a few metres,
where is the sport in shooting them.
I refer to this shot as my ‘National Geographic’ shot.
Probably because I had only ever seen this shot in a
National Geographic magazine.
Again the leopard sat there while we clicked away.
In 2017 I was fortunate enough to return to
France and Belgium and tour
the Western Front Battlefields of world War I.
I visited many of the well known areas, memorials
and sites of (to me) lesser known battles.
All I could think of was how lucky my Grandfather
was to survive when so, so many didn’t.
The Last Post Ceremony at Menin Gate
was worth the visit alone.
Finally, a recently posted blue hour
image of Geelong’s Western Beach area.
