Good morning Vietnam! Well, it actually wasn’t such a good morning… we got off the bus from Cambodia in the middle of one of Vietnam’s busiest cities, groggy and disoriented. We carefully negotiated a deal with a taxi driver (after waving away most of the ones who had ambushed us when we got off the…
On our final day in Siem Reap we hit two sites I had read about but not yet seen, and I’m glad we managed to fit them in. The first, Bayon, was one of my absolute favourites. The last stop, the Terrace of the Elephants, was appealing mostly because elephants are my favourite animal, but…
Day two of temple sightseeing was packed! We started the day off right by getting up before dawn and heading out to Angkor Wat for the sunrise. Jacquie and I found a nice spot to sit, on the less crowded side, and sat to patiently wait for the sunrise. Well, we weren’t quite patient enough.…
So anyone who does their research will know that the Temples of Angkor cannot be seen in a day… Lonely Planet literally says, “if you’ve got only one day to see the temples, that’s unfortunate.” We spent several days exploring the temples, and I took hundreds of photos, so I will be splitting our visits…
We had a fantastic time in Siem Reap, despite the fact that all of us took turns being sick… I was the lucky one, with minimal symptoms that were likely caused by the stress of feeling like I was next. In contrast to Phnom Penh, Siem Reap is a sleepy little town, but incredibly tourist…
Well, we’re definitely in northern India now! It has been chillier than we’re used to, and our backpacks have lightened as we are wearing most of our clothes! We only had one day for sightseeing in Amritsar, but that’s enough time to see the top two attractions. The morning was spent enjoying the Golden Temple,…
We were in Jodhpur briefly on our way to Amritsar, and were intrigued by the narrow, twisty-turny alleyways. The whole place was painted a lovely periwinkle blue (which we didn’t realize until morning, as we arrived in the dark of night). Despite the narrow and confusing alleys, Jodhpur is pretty tourist-friendly. Most of the popular…
After our adventures in Kerala, we made a quick stop in Delhi. We were happy to crash at Rignam’s, meet the famous Ronnie, and meet up with our friend Taylor. Meeting up with friends abroad is surreal and really exciting! In our short time in Delhi we picked Ronnie’s brain to create a rough sketch…
If I were ever to post this set of photos, now is the time. Just as we thought spring had arrived, the snow rolls back in. In April! It’s craziness. When I was at the ranch over the Victoria Day weekend (which is usually the third weekend in May, for all you non-Canadians) we woke up…
We’re back on the ranch now for some more farm-fun. I had fun playing with focus and depth of field here. I really like that the sharp barbs are the ‘sharpest’ part of the image.
