You can almost feel the stillness.
Have you noticed how different the light is in different parts of the world? The clear but often blinding glare in the southern Mediterranean; the filtered greyness of the UK; the warmth in the light in Africa. Although more subdued than Capri’s usual bella luce, the light on this November evening set off the ripples around the island’s imposing Faraglioni perfectly. (Italy, 2003)
Now if it was a *sandy* beach, it'd be just perfect!
Is it the light? Variations in depth? Or differences in water temperature? Whatever caused this part of the Aegean Sea off Rhodes to be striped in shades of blue, it’s breathtaking! (Greece – 2002)
I lived in the UK for nearly nine years and in my head, I always see it in black and white. Very little colour adjustment had to be done to this photograph. The old, bare tree and pub’s sagging roof make me think they’ve been friends forever. (England, 2010)
English summers FTW! Brrrr.
The trash bag is a nice touch.
Snacking like a local is cheap, filling and tasty. And in this case, healthy too. (Istanbul, 2009)
Things look different at 35,000 feet.
There’s nothing like travel to put things in perspective. All those daily stresses from home? Not so important anymore, when you’re trying to find your way around a new city where nobody speaks your language. Discovering the world does not end when I don’t check Twitter or Facebook for two weeks is also a great reality check.
And sometimes you get a great photo from an airplane window. What I love about this one is not just the wonderful view of the French Alps, but being so high up that I can see the curvature of the earth puts my ego in its place. (Somewhere above France, 2008)
