Bright Lights and Photos at Night in London, Paris, Dublin and Philadelphia

“I’ve Loved the Stars Too Fondly to Be Fearful of the Night” – Galileo The Best Nights are Usually Unplanned, Random and Spontaneous Stars Can’t Shine Without Darkness There are so many great quotes to find about the “Night” FriFotos theme, the above are just a few.  Each reminds me […]

Glacier Lake Iceland

Photos of Iceland – Awesome Iceland Landscapes to Inspire Wanderlust

Living and working in the city, my daily landscape consists of skyscrapers (my office is on the 38th floor), concrete and lots of traffic on the commute.  When I travel, I feel that I can breathe and relax in the landscapes of mountains, coastlines and greenery. I can savor the […]

Place de la Concorde and Roue de Paris at night

Going Round and Round in Paris, London and Seattle #FriFotos

This week’s #FriFotos theme is “Circles” …..I thought round and round…..then my mind wandered to the Dead or Alive song “You Spin Me Round (like a Record)” before landing on the Ferris Wheel (don’t ask how my mind associates things).  Many cities have added Ferris Wheels to attract tourists and […]

Doubtful Sound

The New Zealand Quandary – Milford Sound vs Doubtful Sound

We all want the best and when it comes to travel there are so many confusing “best of” options.  This week’s #FriFotos theme is “Best” and I keep thinking how many times I went in search of the best and found something better.  Yesterday’s post, I went in search of […]

What You Find on the Hills Around the World #FriFotos

This week’s FriFotos theme is “Hills”.  Of course, the first thing that came to mind was the song “The hills are alive with the Sound of Music…” (yes, showing my age).  While I’ve done the Sound of Music tour when I visited Salzburg, it was before the digital camera (again […]

FriFotos – It’s Travel “Electric” (no dancing required)

This week’s FriFotos theme is “Electric” so it will be quite interesting to see the creativity of the posts from around the world.  A mish mash of travel photos and stories that are “electric” to me, hope you enjoy my interpretations. The Electric Street Car – the 501 Trolley in […]

Gondolas in Venice

Finally! A Room with a View #FriFotos

This week’s theme of FriFotos is “A Room with a View” and for the most part my view is usually the back alley, a brick wall or no view at all on the inside cruise cabin.  Traveling solo, I’m usually more interested in saving money so I rarely get a […]
