I’m headed back to Sri Lanka in March, so time for a little, gentle reminiscing about my first town in the country. I didn’t fly in I should point out, I flew into the Negombo Airport which services Colombo, however the guesthouse I was staying organised a taxi for my wife and I all the …
The world has some pretty amazing natural wonders to see, and giant falls rate up there with the best features of our planet. You have Niagara Falls which borders Canada and the USA, Angel Falls in Venezuela, Victoria Falls which sits on the Zambian and Zimbabwean border, but not to be outdone, Iguazu (which means …
Hi all. Hope you are well as the week comes to a close. Today I've put up a video of my time in Peru in late 2016. It's got a bit of stuff from Machu Picchu, I did, quite a while ago now, a full video on that. Anyways, Enjoy! Also here is my short …
Ever since I visited Russia earlier this year, and to be more precise Moscow, I wanted to do a post on ‘Stalin’s Seven Sisters’. It’s the sort of thing that appeals to me I guess – something to see, to hunt out in a city and say you saw them all. What are Stalin’s Seven …
Hi all! The final 'Through My Lens' for the year, and I'm taking you to Argentina where stunning Bariloche (or as the town is known, San Carlos de Bariloche) just cannot be beaten, especially when the weather is as it was when I was there. High 20s for the most part and beautiful blue skies. …
Border town. (well, actually still a wee bit from the border) Dry. Dusty. Hot. The last town in Burkina Faso before I moved on to Mali over ten years ago now. I don’t remember much, perhaps because there wasn’t much to remember, but I do remember that the streets were wide, and I didn’t see …
Yes! It’s time to highlight my own home town, the Victorian city of Melbourne in the south-east of Australia. How do I start though? What should I talk about? The bad points – crime, the sorry state of public transport?? (although the trams are cool) Or should I be unashamedly biased and only say good …
Happy Sunday to you all. Is that a thing? ‘Happy Sunday’? Well, it can be now! Shanghai… staying in North Asia for this week’s city of choice, is a mega-tropolis of which you can find quite of a few of these days in China. However, you may not find one quite as ‘modern’ and shiny …
Happy 'Hump-Day' to all. Today's photographic presentation takes us to Malaysia. Now, I will be the first to admit that many of these photos are not particularly amazing, but Malaysia was the first time I started using a digital camera. An old Canon, can't remember the exact model, but it took photos in an amazing …
Wham bam thankyou Mam! Tokyo is a city with everything. It’s an incredible combination of skyscrapers, neon lights, parks and shrines, salary men and cosplayers in the Harajuku area. It has Maid Cafes, a Robot Restaurant (still to visit for me!), two Disney theme parks, a tower, a Skytree, and incredible metro system, brilliant museums, …
