That time I felt like I had traveled back in time in Isfahan, Iran. ( lemmy.world )

While the Silk Road has been replaced by shipping lanes and air-freight, you can still find the ancient bazaar atmosphere in pretty much any major city in Iran.

Night shot, Kyoto, Japan (iPhone 14 Pro Max) ( i.imgur.com )

Took this back in March, while visiting our daughter, who is teaching English in Japan for this past year. We took the opportunity to take a couple of weeks to travel around Japan. She is in Hirado, south of Nagasaki. I didn’t want to haul my DSLR, so I made do with the phone camera.

McClure Meadow, Evolution Valley, Sierra Nevada, California ( i.imgur.com )

This is one of my favorite campsites ever. This is sunrise over Evolution Creek and McClure Meadow, in the high country of the Sierra Nevada mountains, in Kings Canyon National Park, in California. I’m fortunate enough to live relatively close, in Bishop, California. Still, there are no roads here - you must make your way on...

Kintai Bridge, Iwakuni, Japan (iPhone 14 Pro Max) ( i.imgur.com )

Iwakuni is where my parents met, in 1960. My little sister and I visited in March of this year, and were able to scatter my older sister’s ashes in the Nishiki river, and commit them to our ancestors. I haven’t visited the Kintai Bridge since I was a boy. It still looks the same. Fond memories…

That time I almost didn't see a lion in the grass in Kruger National Park, South Africa. ( lemmy.world )

The best time of the year for going on a self-drive safari is the next two-three months. It’s dry season, so not too much green for the animals to hide in. (Some animals still manage to hide just fine, though, as seen here.) And there’s no mosquitoes to worry about until the rains begin, so no malaria either....

Lago Nero below Passo Gavia, Italy ( lemmy.world )

I am on a bicycle tour right now and came past this beauty of a scene cycling the Passo Gavia. Incredible mountain pass.

Flying over a volcano in southern Java, Indonesia ( lemmy.world )

Got this photo from a plane in 2005 flying from Jakarta to Bali!

Does anyone remember disposable film cameras? [Humor] ( lemmy.world )

Those terrible cardboard things that you just never knew what you were going to get until they were developed? I decided on my last trip I’d make up a pretend set of prints to share with my online friends. Below is the sample. I knew there’d be some really exciting shots, so I ordered double prints when I sent it in for...

Hiking in the Swiss Alps I got to see snow for the first time ( aussie.zone )

Went to a festival and had 1 day before the festival started. Hiked up the nearby mountain and was greeted with semi frozen lakes and plenty of snow. Being my first time seeing snow it was an amazing day, even got to slide down some of it on my rain jacket.
