I think M.C. Escher might be proud of this one… I’ll just let you try to figure out which way is up…

A beautiful seven story pagoda in Taroko National Park… I also liked the Pudu Bridge that is the only access over to where the temple and pagodo are.
The Eternal Spring Shrine (or Changchun Shrine) looks beautiful from a distance, and I would have liked to visit it closer, but unfortunately the trail was closed. But it definitely gives some scale to the size of the gorge…
During my recent visit to Taiwan, I was lucky enough to be there for Chinese New Year, and since I was stay with a native Taiwanese, I got to go to some cooler, off-the-beaten-past locations than I might have otherwise found. I didn’t take the…
This particular whale is an art installation in Utrecht in the Netherlands with the obvious intent to remind folks about plastic in our oceans, but today I’m headed off to Timor Leste to hopefully see real whales (and hopefully dive with them and get some…
So in case you were wondering what it looks like where I’ve been staying for the past couple months… In a few days, I’ll be leaving Jiwa Damai and moved onto Timor Leste. I’m not sure how much internet access I will have there, but…

While we’re on the subject, I guess I will share a couple photos the the disappointing views I got of Notre Dame. The whole area was cordoned off and I couldn’t get very close, but it made me sad to see all those stained glass…
So let’s get the pedantic portion of this post out of the way first… What is the difference between a gargoyle and a grotesque? A gargoyle is technically a waterspout, so if it doesn’t look like it is designed to shoot water away from the…
Oh yeah… I went to that Paris place… Actually, the day I arrived, the one lady who sold me my metro tickets mentioned that they were going to be doing a light show on the Eiffel Tower to celebrate its 130th anniversary. At the time,…
Just a quick post to share a couple photos from exploring the city of Antananarivo. I have a couple other photos on the real camera and I’ll try and upload them later this evening… We leave tomorrow for the overland tour and I highly doubt…
