Photo Friday – Temples in Nepal

29 Mar

Today’s photo comes to you courtesy of Justin.  He snapped this awesome temple-top and prayer flag photo somewhere just outside of Kathmandu.  While I was busy burning up in the hospital, I insisted Justin head out for some sightseeing with a friend we made while trekking the Annapurna Circuit.  I really wish I would have been able to go with him, but we at least have some photos of the places he visited.  Unfortunately, he didn’t bother to write down where they were going…so we don’t know exactly where this was.  Do you know?  If you do, let us know in the comments!

Photo Friday – Bay of Fires Rocks, Tasmania, Australia

15 Mar

Have I mentioned we LOVED Tasmania?  I think I might have.  We spent some time camping up near the Bay of Fires on the east coast, and found these huge rocks all along one stretch of shore.  The lichen (I’m assuming that’s what it is) makes an awesome red color, that really stood out against the blue sky.

Photo Friday – Uluru at Sunset

8 Mar

A few months ago I posted one of our Uluru sunrise photos.  Today we have a more traditional view, the sunset and a clear blue sky.  I really expected the rock to turn a very bright red, as per all the postcards…but clearly those have been super photoshopped.  Still, it was really lovely.

Photo Friday – Coffee Culture in New Zealand

1 Mar

We could not find a decent cup of drip coffee to save our lives in Australia or New Zealand.  Down under, they are all about the ‘long black’ or the ‘flat white’ or any other variety of fancy espresso based coffee, non of which really satisfied my need for a basic morning cup of black sludge.  That said, they really have perfected the art of the fancy coffee, as evidenced by the multitude of patterns you are sure to discover in your milk foam at any decent coffee shop.  We particularly liked this one, the New Zealand silver fern.
