Construction at Sunset
From the top of the hotel I was staying at, I saw this lovely sunset happen and had to capture some images of it before the colour disappeared. Cranes dot the landscape, a sign of continued expansion in the Spanish tourist industry!
Photos at the Vatican
After the crowds have gone on a cold November day in 2017, I visited St. Peter’s Square in the Vatican for some photos, and came across two women taking advantage of the quiet for some photos. The sun had already set, and it wasn’t 5pm yet, but it was nice to be in such a…
Blue and Purple Wildflowers
In the middle of El Caminito del Rey, north of Malaga in Spain, I found these beautiful flowers growing in the rocky soil.
It’s better to be seen
A worker on a busy road in Edinburgh, Scotland. It’s a busy road, so it’s a good thing he’s conspicuous!
Fifty Shades of Mountain
Mountains on the German/Austria border stretch off in the distance as the Alps cut through this region of Europe.
The view from St. Peters in Munich
St. Peter’s Church, or Alter Peter, in Munich is the tallest building in the vicinity. Local regulations prohibited building taller buildings except for a few years a while back when ugly glass office blocks were built a few kilometres away. That’s the Frauenkirche, a large gothic church in the middle distance. So, you get a…
Selfies and Greetings
Edinburgh Castle in Scotland is a huge attraction for tourists and on the day I was there it was busy. It was a gorgeous day, with the sun beating down. I really like this photo as I photographed two couples. One couple taking a selfie to remember the day, and in the background an older…
Breathtaking Border Mountains in Germany
Here’s another photo from my recent team meetup in Germany, where we got to see these incredible mountains that span the border of Germany and Austria. We were up pretty high too, around 1500m at Bergstation Herzogstandbahn, which made for a wonderful view. Of course, the weather wasn’t exactly on our side – those ominous…
Vineyard Vistas in Portugal
Amidst the stunning scenery of Portugal’s Douro Valley, we found ourselves at Quinta da Roêda, a picturesque vineyard nestled under a breathtaking blue sky. As far as the eye could see, the vines stretched out into the distance, beckoning us to explore further. A solitary tree stood tall nearby, while on the horizon, two tall,…
Exhausted on Snowy Slopes
We had trudged up and down rugged hills, wearing snow shoes, until we finally came to a stop, feeling sore and utterly exhausted. The sun blazed down on us as we stood at 1500m on a crisp, clear day. Ahead of us loomed another hill, descending a valley and then ascending at a steep incline….
Descending through the Clouds
We stood atop the towering mountain, surrounded by billowing clouds, preparing to leave. As I gazed downwards, my eyes traced the steep slope all the way to the tranquil blue waters of the lake below. Tiny houses and buildings speckled the landscape, and a winding road traced the shoreline. Having just dined at Berggasthaus Herzogstand,…
Prepping the Wing
One of the days during a team meetup in Germany recently was spent hiking across a mountain, up and down steep snow-covered hills. On the way, we passed by what is evidentially the launch site for people paragliding. They would fling themselves off this slope and soar for I don’t know how long, catching thermals…
