Zebulon > Castelbouc

Situé au fond des gorges du Tarn, à 5 km de Saint Enimie, le hameau de Castelbouc est là caché au fond des gorges derrière son Château en ruine.
C'est un lieu magnifique !!

Peter > Titicaca lake

I could have sent you a picture from Vietnam, the Ha Long archipelago, but I chose two pics from a more recent trip, to Peru and Bolivia. I saw that the Machu Picchu was already in the collection, so here are two from te Titicaca lake (on the Peru / Bolivia border). One is of an ice bow.

Michael > Norway

Here are two photos of one of our favourite destinations - Norway. We usually go in the Summer but in February we went in Winter for the first time - what a beautiful place. These photos dont do it justice really. We went sledging up in the mountains near Hamar- about 100k north of Oslo.

Laura > Kyoto

The first photo is of the garden Nanzenji in Kyoto,Japan, in the summer. The second and third photos are of Honen-in in Kyoto, Japan, also during the summer. When you enter these gardens, it feels like you have entered a different, magical world that you never want to leave. The most amazing part of the gardens is that the current beauty that you are witnessing is the result of years of growth and vision, and they are beautiful in all seasons.

Crocomickey > falaises de Belle-Anse

les falaises de Belle-Anse dans les iles-de-la-Madeleine au Québec. C'est un endroit magnifique pour les couchers de soleil entre autres. Les îles sont situées en plein centre du golfe du Saint-Laurent à l'extrémité Est du Canada.

Jillian of Haute Mimi > Machu Picchu, Peru

"This is a photo given to me by a friend of mine that recently visited the site. Machu Picchu was a settlement built by the Incas in the fifteenth century." source

"The place was known as Picchu, Piccho, or Picho during colonial times and consisted of two parts: Machu ("old") and Wayna ("young"). Picchu means "hill", "mountain" or "peak" and therefore the name is simply descriptive. It could well have been Patallaqta ("town on the heights"), which was the "town" or the "house" where the mummy of Pachakuteq was kept. In the citadel of Machu Picchu few people lived - probably no more than 200 or 300 - and, if what we suspect is true, all of them were of high rank and were linked to the lineage of the Inca, that is, they were descendents of the founder of Tawantinsuyu." source

Sara > Ghana

In 2006, I spent several months in Ghana, West Africa, one of the most visually striking places I've ever been. Hot, bright, and loud are the only adjectives I have to describe it. A truly exciting and overwhelming experience.

Sidewalk in Kumasi - I snapped this while in a taxi at a red light. Everywhere you look in Ghana, the colors are so intense and beautiful.


Kumasi Central Market - An aerial shot of the Kumasi Central Market, a maze of crowded shops stretching on for miles.


Artist Studio, Accra - A sculptor in Accra allowed me to tour his personal studio. He worked mostly with recycled trash to create complicated, often humorous sculptures. His studio was a mess, but very inspiring!


Trinity Home Orphanage, Tutu - These kids were very excited to have their picture taken. I love the proud look on the tall boy's face.
