Eternal Spring Shrine

Posted on February 12, 2020

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…

Red Lanterns

Posted on February 10, 2020

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…

Off to See Whales (Hopefully)

Posted on October 20, 2019

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…

Posted on October 18, 2019

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…

Battersea Power Station

Posted on August 29, 2019

Oddly enough, one of the incredibly few photos I took in London, and the only one I plan on sharing, and probably only significant to Pink Floyd fans, and the landmark is covered in construction… Kind of sums up my time in London… I was…

Salisbury Cathedral and Stonehenge

Posted on August 24, 2019

My stop through Salisbury was a bit of a whirlwind. I arrived Sunday evening after the diving in Plymouth (I still owe you folks a quick video from the diving, but I still need to process them) and then I continued on Monday morning for…

Notre Dame Fire Damage

Posted on August 2, 2019

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…

Notre Dame Gargoyles and Grotesques

Posted on August 1, 2019

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…

Posted on June 14, 2019

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,…
