Good Food and Views are Worth the Journey
This colourful building is the EMP Museum (designed by Frank Gehry) located adjacent to Seattle Center. And of course, the Seattle Space Needle is a well known landmark. I basically liked the colours on the EMP and framed the shot to see the different colour panels with the Space Needle reflection. I shot this using a wide angle at 35mm.
This boy peered out of the window of the school to give us a warm smile. This photo was taken this past February in a fishing village in Sihanoukville, Cambodia. Camera settings were on ISO800, f14, 1/30, focal length 135mm.
Antonio Gaudi, influential art nouveau era Spanish architect, left his mark on some amazing buildings in Barcelona. This includes his yet to be completed La Sagrada Familia. Here are some recent pictures of three of his building interiors and features.
I visited Tasmania in November 2010, which was then Spring for them. It’s a big island with stunning natural beauty ranging from the surf to craggy mountains, and poppy fields. Well worth a visit or two, especially for those of us who live closer. Lots to do, and well set up for families with kids.
I did a trek (part of the Annapurna circuit) in Nepal in Nov. 1995 and also visited Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Chitwan. It was breathtaking in beauty and also due to my lack of fitness. And it was also quite an adventure, which included an overturned bus. I do hope they rebuild much of what was devastated and that tourism, which is such a large part of their economy, recovers. Donations are likely to remain needed for years to come.
I wish I had better photo skills and equipment back then. The colour in my negatives have started to fade so I’ve converted most of the photos into black & white except for a couple where you can sort of tell that the original colours would have been stunning.
