New Photo: Is it … Up?

Before I say anything – what do you think you are looking at here? Take your time. Solution below.
SO – while traveling through Egypt, we stayed at a couple of awesome places, as one does. Most of it was a boat, but this one particular night we stayed in a huge hotel in Kairo that had these absolutely wonderful turning stairs – with a huge chandelier in the middle!
So once I had the picture, I thought about making this a little more interesting – it’s actually upside down and mirrored. Did you realize what you are looking at?

New Photo: Sticking Out

One thing I have to train myself in is to pay attention to unusual perspectives and angles. I often get stuck looking at my environment the same way – so my photos often have the same look and feel. Gotta break that habit, right?
Here, I was walking along a cliff in Bavaria, Germany, and noticed this little branch sticking out on the side. What you see in the background are trees from rather far above – so altogether, I thought with a little color we can really make this little dude stand out. And we did – and we did.

New Photo: Gone Are The Words

I mean … just look at it! There is nature, and then there is NATURE! You are looking at a scene from the Lofoten Islands in Norway – one that was just too stunning. We had to climb from our Rorbu (a traditional fishing hut) onto a little nearby hill for about 10 min. That was enough to be rewarded with stunning views all around. I was rather angry that I cut off that straw ball thingy at the bottom, but the vista still tells you enough. It tells you to pack your bags and book your next flight to the Lofoten Islands!

New Photo: Feet Up

Japan has several hot springs where monkeys chill and bathe in the sun – this little fella here is one of them! I am not sure what are feet and what are hands here, but either way – chill factor 100.
