Foto Friday – Fountains in Tashkent

On 15 Nov 201924 Oct 2019 By AndysWorldJourneysIn travel photographyLeave a comment

Tashkent is a city not short on fountains. Maybe that's because summers can get pretty hot, and the locals know where to go to cool themselves down! Thanks for stopping by - May the Journey Never End!

On 12 Nov 201923 Oct 2019 By AndysWorldJourneysIn Australia, MelbourneLeave a comment

The State Library is a significant landmark in the city that is Melbourne. Right now it’s undergoing renovations, and looks a bit rubbish as you can see, but it’s certainly a useful place to note if you’re visiting. Why? Well not so much because it has all the Harry Potter books, and actually I don’t …
