Summer in the city
Has summer finally really arrived? Today it seemed like it. I drove out to Sumner to blow off some steam at the beach. Although the beach itself isn’t idyllic or anything, it was a beautiful place. The beach is surrounded by hills that are covered with houses and there is…
Travel theme: Arches
This is part of the old Adelaide jail. Not exactly a major tourist attraction, but pretty cool nonetheless. I love exploring these old buildings full of history. I still can’t decide if I think this building looks pretty or not, but it seems that they tried, by putting in some…
Wildlife of the south
You don’t have to go on a safari to see some awesome wildlife. Right here in the south of New Zealand, there is plenty to see. I alway get excited when I can get up close and personal with beautiful animals. Here are some of my favorite spots from my…

Sydney’s CBD and all its buildings are iconic. The skyline with the bridge and opera house are very recognizable and ridiculously photogenic. You can get some amazing photos from the ferry to Manly, but my favorite spot was the park on the other side of the harbour bridge. In Milsons…
A crate full of love
Not many people have gardens in the big cities. To get some green into the CBD and give people a chance to get their very own piece of green, Melbourne has come up with a great plan. In the heart of Melbourne you can find these crates with little veggie…
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.
