Weekly Photo Challenge: H2O
H2O has inspired many artists. For this challenge I decided to show you a different interpretation of water. I’ve got many beautiful photos of waves, waterfalls and serene lakes. This is not nature at its best though, but rather a human perspective of water. I found this little piece on…
Big, bigger, biggest
Everett, Washington, is only a half hour drive from Seattle. It’s home to one of the biggest manufacturers of airplanes in the world: Boeing. Well, it’s one of the sites in the world where Boeing works on airplanes. Here the 747, 777 and 787 are assembled from pieces flown in from…
Weirdness is working
I’m walking to the train station and that area has some bus stops, but also seems to be a popular place to hang out, especially if you have no place to be. One man comments on my backpack and says I must have been everywhere, big smile on his face.…

Jungle under a roof of grass
Every now and again, museums open up to the public for free. The Louvre in Paris opens their doors to anyone who’s interested on the first Sunday of the month, the MoMA in New York has their Free Friday Nights and the Hermitage in St. Petersburg lets people in for…
Massive, majestic and mind-blowing
The Yosemite national park just has to be part of a trip to California. However, without a car it can be tricky to get around the park. Since I didn’t just want to see the popular valley, I decided to book a three-day tour with Incredible Adventures. There were only…
