Table Mountain

We went down to The Waterfront for our first evening in Cape Town where we had dinner at a restaurant in the shadow of Table Mountain. Our plan was to take the cable car up to the top the following morning. We got incredibly lucky with the weather. The mountain was crystal clear without any […]

Gallery: 20 Photographs of Hermanus that do not feature any whales.

Oh Hermanus you broke our hearts. Whales, whales, whales. From the shore, from a boat. You managed to thwart us at every turn. But you are a photogenic place, so I still love you.

Photographs of the Week: Boats of Halong Bay

Kayaking and the water have been dominating my thoughts recently. I’ve been having a blast with mine and so boats felt like a natural subject for this week. Halong Bay remains the great disappointment in my travel life. When I planned my trip it was to be my last stop in Asia and intended to […]

Photo Gallery of the Week: MUSEO DE LAS CIENCIAS

Valencia plays host to some fascinating buildings but one area in particular is home to to some fantastic modern architecture. The City of Arts and Science is well worth taking time to visit.

Photo (Gallery) of the Week: Bicycles of Amsterdam

To call my decision making regarding the topic of this series arbitrary is a discredit… to the word ‘arbitrary’. Last night I dreamt of cycling so today you get a gallery of bicycles! Bikes are everywhere in Amsterdam and the whole city appears to be a utopia for cycling commuters. Flat, well maintained roads. True […]
