Howdy all hope today's post finds you well! Mr Bald of Bald and Bankrupt is, or at least was in February, in the Ukraine. Why he we go there in Winter is anyone's guess, but this is a great video where he hunts down old Soviet mosaics across Ukraine stopping at a couple of provincial …

Bridge of the Day – Kandovan, Iran

Melbourne Revealed – The Great Moomba Disappointment of 2021!

On 2 Jul 20218 Apr 2021 By Andy RoamsIn Melbourne, travel, VlogLeave a comment

Aqaba – Through My Lens

On 29 Jun 202121 Feb 2021 By Andy RoamsIn Middle East, travel photography1 Comment

Folks, I hope you've enjoyed our Tuesdays through June, as I presented photos from my time in destination Jordan. It's a brilliant and relatively easy place to travel, and I can't recommend it enough as a somewhat gentle introduction to the Middle East which really packs a punch in terms of things to see and …
