In years gone by it was said to be a haven for pirates and smugglers and, as you wander around its narrow lanes, alleys and duckboards, it is easy to understand why. But while there is no evidence that pirates ever had hideouts in Tai O, piracy in the surrounding seas was rampant.

Hiked the Kumano Kodo Trail in April. This was in Tanabe.

Went to swim there 3 days ago and it was amazing. The water is so unbelievably clear, you can swim in the pools while the waves outside are over a meter high and not notice anything of it. Also there's lots of fish for snorkeling

On the slopes between Käserstatt and Mägisalp in the Swiss alps. Hasliberg overlooks the Haslital and Lake Brienz with Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau (Top of Europe) on the other side.
The image was taken by me in January of 2012.

I had to drive to Sacramento for a work conference this week, and took this photo as the sun rose over Mono Lake. I did like the haze over the tufa towers near the shoreline. Enjoy.

I took this the morning of Aug. 14, 2023. The sun was shining through clouds. It rained off and on all morning. This was on a short backpack in. My son's girlfriend had never been backpacking before, so we took her on this short overnighter. Taken with a Canon R5, 15-35mm f/2.8L lens.

Just came back from a week in the German Alps. Eibsee is georgous, the water look almost tropical and in the background German's highest mountain the "Zugspitze". You can see me relaxing on my SUP on this photo.

Going on a self-drive safari is easier than you probably think. At least as long as you do it in South Africa, and preferably in Kruger National Park, where all kinds of facilities are available. If you're not used to spotting animals on your own, stay in the southern part of the park, where you can just drive around and look for clusters of cars that already have discovered something exciting.
When you begin to think that you know what you're doing, drive further north, where there are way fewer people around. You can easily stay in the park for a couple of weeks, sleeping in a new camp every night.

My partner and I took a day trip to Lugano from Como last fall. While the price of Swiss food was a bit steep compared to Italy, and the fog spoiled our photos from atop the Alps, there were so many incredible, photo-worthy sites on the ground.
Not pictured: the smell. What I would have done to bottle and bring home the fantastic aroma of this city.

For texture, the creators of this temple punched thousands of holes on the stones about 5,000 years ago. The effect was really cool. Malta.
