Review: Sofitel Melbourne on Collins – Modern Luxury Accor Hotel In Australia

FriFotos – Coast to Coast across Oceans and Continents

This week’s FriFotos theme is “Coast” and given how much I relish being on or near the water, let’s just say I have many (thousands) photos coast to coast – around the world, across oceans and continents. The coasts around the world hold such wonder and surprise for me that […]
