This is one of my favorite photos of all time. It may not be the best, technically…but it brings with it good feelings and a good memory. Really, that’s what photography is all about. Cows are synonymous with India. They are everywhere: in the streets, in the pastures, in the villages, even in [...] Continue reading Things That Make Me Happy! – Holy Cow! Happy New Year! 
One of the other major sights in Moldova is the Milestii Mici wine cellars. The Moldovans were very proud of the fact that it is in the 2007 World Book of Records for having the most underground wine caves. The caves were impressive. There are 207 kilometers of caves, but today they are only using [...] Continue reading Happy New Year! (Moldovan Wine) 
Yes. When you think of landscapes in the Netherlands, you expect windmills. It’s almost cliche. Except this windmill was located right next to the house I rented when I lived there for a little over two years. That’s right. My landlord owned it and and the house and if you looked out our office [...] Continue reading My Dutch Windmill 
Going out to eat in Cusco, Peru is definitely an experience. Around the main square, touts hang out of their restaurant doors and try to lure you in with promises of free pisco sours, which by the way are extremely tasty. One of Peru’s traditional foods is this guy or cuy, the guinea pig. [...] Continue reading Food – A Peruvian Delicacy…Guinea Pig 
Lhasa. Tibet. What a place! I wouldn’t say it was a vacation, traveling through Tibet is pretty hard-coare traveling. The barren landscape, the altitude, the constant struggle between the Tibetans and the Chinese. It’s all very interesting. The Potala Palace is absolutely gorgeous, inside and out. Painted with Buddhist symbols in bright colors, the [...] Continue reading WHS – The Potala Palace 
You just can’t take a bad picture in southern Africa. You just can’t. If you put yourself in the right place there are just endless possibilities. Watching the wildlife go about their daily business is quite awe-inspiring. These macaques entertained us for quite some time as we sat eating our lunch. Going on [...] Continue reading Nature in Namibia 
A huge moon over an Alaskan landscape. I don’t know why, but in Alaska the sky seems so much closer to you than in other places. It’s so big and beautiful. Where do you like to moon gaze? 
One of the main reasons we chose to visit Moldova is that we knew a couple of families that had kids at our school in Ankara. Both of us had taught both children, and we were excited to see where they lived and have a visit with them. On Saturday night, we were treated [...] Continue reading Moldovan Hospitality 
What a harsh, rough and tumble place Mongolia is. I think you can see all the hardship of living off the land in this man’s face. From the wind and sun wrinkles, to the length and thickness of his wool garb, you can just tell you have to come from hardy stock to [...] Continue reading Portrait – Mongolia 
Who doesn’t want to jump in there and get wet, too? It’s not real warm where I currently am in Turkey, but I’d love to go on vacation to Singapore where the temperature only changes by four degrees during the course of a year. It’s hot there, always! And these kids are taking [...] Continue reading Things That Make Me Happy – Kids Cooling Off in a Fountain |
