Weekly Photo Challenge: Texture
I’ve only been in New Zealand for a little while and spent most of my time in Queenstown. Still… NZ’s shown me plenty of good stuff. Here are some textures I’ve seen during my trip so far.
Wenworth is well worth it
Most people go to the Blue mountains on a day trip from Sydney. They arrive in Katoomba, take happy snaps of the three sisters, stroll around town and take a ride in the cable car. Although I love Katoomba, the Blue mountains deserve better exploration. I spent about a week…
Chirping skies
I love seeing some good street art, especially when it’s unexpected and catches you off guard. While walking around Sydney my friend directed me to a laneway near the City Recital Hall, called Angel Place. It’s in the heart of the CBD and yet off the radar. When my friend…
Living like a mole; the secrets of the ground
Coober Pedy is a town in the dusty and dry outback of South Australia. Arriving via the Stuart highway you’ll see a big sign full of graffiti. Besides that, there is nothing but dust. That, and holes apparently, judging by the signs telling you not to stray from the roads.…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Zigzag
Going through my photos I suddenly noticed this zigzag. I took this photo from the top of a chruch tower in Rovinj, Croatia. The old town makes a zigzag with the jetty. I love the colors in this picture!
Six outstanding and unique places to stay the night
Over the years I’ve stayed in hostels all over the world. I remember my first experience well. I’d decided to go on a city trip to New York by myself and chose the cheapest accommodation in Manhattan, which happened to be in Harlem. The hostel looked alright and was situated…
Playing with the devil’s marbles
The Devil’s Marbles or Karlu Karlu is one of the attractions along the Stuart highway, located south of Tennant Creek. Karlu Karlu means round boulders, and that is exactly what you’ll see. It’s a playground for grownups with wonderful photo opportunities. You can climb up some of the higher ones to…
