The day started off a bit rainy and cloudy, but cleared up as we checked out some antique stores in the area. The sun began to shine through and we ended up having a gorgeous boat tour of Flathead Lake!
Since 2008 as I travel the world I pause, take a seat, and capture a shot or two of my boots. These are entries from a week long trip to the Arctic exploring Svalbard including passing beyond the famed 80 degrees north, as well as the beautiful north country of Norway around Tromso.
After the short overnight at the hostel, we took a shuttle back to the airport that had the boat ferries that took passengers to all the different resort islands.

From driving around Whitefish Lake and stopping anywhere along the way!
My mom pointed out this view for me - She has a great eye!
While five days is too short to properly explore the Faroe Islands, we lucked out with spectacular weather that made taking in the country's dramatic landscapes an absolute pleasure. While people often talk about the Faroe Islands as being very similar to Iceland, Scotland or Norway the truth is it is its own distinct destination with raw shoreline and distinct geological formations that make it truly unique to experience and explore.

We left the highest point, Clingman's Dome, and continued downwards onto the winding, curving roads. Back onto 441, we followed Oconaluftee River southward. We pulled over along the way to admire (and photograph!) creeks, meadows full of wild flowers, and wildlife. We spotted numerous elks roaming.
We ended up getting "lost" down an odd little road full of small houses, domestic animals, and bizarre decorations; we easily turned back on track. Continuing south towards Cherokee NC, we made our next stop Oconaluftee Visitor Center.
There was a museum, a homestead wonderfully preserved, to show how families lived and survived in the mountains 100 years ago. My Mom was delighted and wonderstruck imaging life on the homestead; I tried my hardest to capture that moment for her!
Beberapa Gua Karst yang dapat anda masuki di kawasan cagar alam adalah Gua Lanang, Gua Sumur Mudal, Gua Parat, Gua Panggung. Gua Lanang dan Gua Parat adalah salah satu gua yang cukup besar untuk bisa di eksplorasi oleh banyak orang, dan yang menarik dari kedua Gua ini memiliki dua pintu keluar masuk yang tembus, jadi anda tidak perlu kembali lagi dan dapat melanjutkan ke rute spot wisata lainnya. gogreencanyon.com
We spoke to an older man fishing on Greenbrier River before approaching this place. A simple 'catch anything?' turned into swapping stories and then him explaining how busy the sawmill used to be, seeing as his father used to work there long ago. He was a local man that lived in Pocahontas County all his life. It was genuine & kind exchange, leading us to explore the abandon even closer.

We drove down February 25, 2024 for our honeymoon and with each winding turn, the mountains were surrounding us more and more. There were so many cabins in the distance, pastures, and quiet stretches of road where we were the only one driving for miles. There were very few small towns. Definitely Country Roads! We giggled, listened to music, and talked the whole time, randomly seeing a mountain or rock face and getting excited.
Everyday we found a new adventure (after taking advantage of the complimentary breakfast each morning, of course) whether it was seeking waterfalls, hiking, playing on the swings, snowboarding, sledding, or exploring railroads. We watched the sunset over the mountains each night of the week we were there, and left the fireplace lit all night to keep us warm. First of many adventures as husband & wife!

Finally taking the time for myself to gather, edit, and organize years of untouched photographs.
One of the things I'm going to do more of this year is take more time out to do the things I love the most. Photography and travel

One of the most incredible things about Palau is that it is home to an amazing Jellyfish Lake. Not surprisingly, this is one of Palau’s most famous attractions. Jellyfish Lake is a marine lake located on Eil Malk Island. Every day, millions of golden jellyfish migrate across the lake. While they do this, you can go swimming with them!
Swimming with the jellyfish was actually forbidden in recent years, as the jellyfish population was in decline. However, as of 2019, the jellyfish numbers are on the rise and swimming with them has been reopened.
Jellyfish Lake is around 12,000 years old. It’s a remnant of the last ice age where, during that time, the sea level rose to the point where sea water began to fill the basin. But when the glaciers receded, there was no place for these jellyfish or other fish to go. This isolation allowed the species in the lake to develop on their own and become unique (Darwin would be proud!).
In 2005, there were around 30 million jellyfish in the lake, though that number was in decline for many years. By 2016, there were almost none.
Fortunately, there are now around 700,000 jellyfish back in the lake and scientists are optimistic about the numbers continuing to grow.
