Travel photography
On the south coast of Jeju Island, we spend three days walking the Olle trails. The landscapes are varied: coastal cliffs, orange groves, dense subtropical vegetation, open views of lava coastline, sea-stacks, gravel beaches, and more. We wish we had more time to continue down the Olle trails.
Using Swansea as a base, we explore the coastal hiking trails of the Gower Peninsula, Wales.
In part four of my journey through Nepal, I hike up Poon Hill to catch the sunrise over the Annapurna Range, and I spot wildlife in Chitwan National Park.
In the third part of my journey to Nepal, I explore the high country of the Khumbu area. Nara and I ascend Chukung Ri, Kala Pattar, Gokyo Ri, and Knobby View to get panoramic vistas of some of the world’s tallest peaks.
In part two of my journey to Nepal, I trek through the Middle Hills. The rice, millet, and corn harvest is in full swing. I join the Tihar (Diwali) celebrations in the Arun Valley.
In the fall of 2001 I visited Nepal to do some trekking. I started my journey in the Kathmandu Valley.
We visit the open-air museum sites at Trinity, and explore the surrounding area. We spot a red fox on the Skerwink trail, and the fog parts to reveal a beautiful iceberg near the Trinity harbour entrance.
In Bonavista we base ourselves at a traditional salt-box house. We visit Bonavista’s harbour and lighthouse, and we learn about explorer John Cabot. At Spillars Cove we get close to some puffins among cliffs that soar out of the sea.
At Twillingate, we race around to see icebergs before poor weather moves in. But even in the bad weather, we still manage to spot a few icebergs.
On our tour of the Avalon Peninsula, we get close to a northern gannet colony, we try sing along at a kitchen party in St. Shotts, we examine ancient fossils at Mistaken Point, we see our first iceberg at Ferryland, and we hike a short section of the East Coast Trail.
