Whistler’s wreckage
Whistler has a lot of hiking to offer, but there is one hike that is not promoted but that everyone wants to do anyway. In 1956 a train crashed. The boxcars were blocking the tracks so they were pulled into the forest. They have been there ever since. Many people…
Weekly photo challenge: curve
This snake was on our path on a hike in Cuba. I love the way it curves like a windy road climbing steeply up a mountain.

My favourite photos of 2015

Picnic in paradise
I like road tripping, but no matter how much I enjoy staring at the landscapes I pass when I’m driving, it’s even better getting out of the car to explore. On the way from Christchurch to Arthur’s pass, you drive past Castle Hill. The place is popular for bouldering, but…
