I can never pass up the opportunity for a silly, photo-op and potty humor. So when you combine the two, it’s like putting cherries on top of a sundae! Such was the case in Chicken, Alaska. There’s not much in Chicken, aside from this small piece of tourist-y photo cut-out magic. So here’s the photo I took, but…

I’d love for you to add your own caption in the comments. “I got laid in Chicken, Alaska and…”

What’s On the Other Side of the “Welcome to Las Vegas Sign”

Hey Adventurers,

Everyone knows the “Las Vegas Welcome Sign“. It’s the famous sign located at the end of the strip. It seems like everyone that visits Vegas has to take their photo with this landmark. And every photo looks the same.

So it got me wondering… what’s on the other side of the sign. No one ever takes a picture of that! So I thought I’d show you.

How nice of Vegas to provide our departure with a gentle safety reminder! It’s unfortunate that no one ever takes a photo of this side of the sign. So I did and I’m sharing it with you.

3 300x225 Who Knew Bears Can Swim, Fly, and Teach Kids about The World?

Photo Used with Permission from SATW

Hey Adventurers,

Today’s story is a guest post from the Society of American Travel Writers (SATW) about a Teddy Bear who has accumulated quite a few airline miles of it’s own. It’s cute and fun, enjoy.

*****

The headline might be a bit unusual, but for the Traveling Teddies, it’s business as usual! These aren’t real bears of course, but rather, stuffed animals that are the stars of the Traveling Teddy Bear Program sponsored by the Society of American Travel Writers. The program is a collaboration between SATW members and elementary schools across the world. Since 1994, SATW’s professional travel journalists, photographers, and publicists have taken Traveling Teddies with them as they cover the globe, sending postcards, souvenirs, and travel journals home to the young students.

Strolling through Vancouver I came across this funny statue of a hot dog squirting itself with ketchup. What do you think it’s thinking right now? Share by commenting and add your caption.

And if you’re not witty, answer this question instead, would you ever squirt ketchup on your forehead? Why or why not?

I’ll see you out there.!

Peacock A Full Feathered Photo of a Peacock

I was staying at the Cedar Lodge in Krugersdorp in South Africa for 3 months. It’s a delightful bed and breakfast and was the perfect home away from home. The Cedar Lodge happens to have a giant aviary and peacocks roaming the property. Every once in a while, the peacocks would fan their feathers. Of course, I never had my camera… until this day.

It’s so rare to see a peacock with full feathers. It’s even rarer to have so many of the feathers in near-perfect condition. Many times they are missing a feather or two. Nonetheless, I thought I would share this moment with you.

If you could only visit one country in the world, South Africa should be it, for a lot of reasons. But chief among them, is the opportunity to encounter wild animals. Take one look at my Lion Encounter at Pilanesberg National Park and you’ll see why. A trip to South Africa is not complete without a visit to a game reserve (golf cart safaris don’t count). Of course, you’ll want to document your experience with pictures, so here are 8 tips for taking envy-worthy photographs for your next game drive.

The Eiffel Tower, the Statue of Liberty, the Taj Mahal and Sydney Harbor – some of the most widely recognized, iconic spots around the world. But where’s the best place in Sydney to photograph the Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbor Bridge and surrounding harbor? Here are 6 suggestions…

1. On a Sydney Ferry

Whether you’re going to the Taronga Zoo, Manly or a dedicated harbor cruise (though the last option can be comparably more expensive), taking a photo from one of Sydney’s numerous ferries allow you to capture a perspective that those landlubbers just can’t have, one with lots of water from a low vantage point.

Hey adventurers,

Happy Monday. Paris is a great city to photograph (be sure to check out my tips on taking photos of the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe before you visit). But it’s an even better city to photograph in black and white. Here are a few of my favorites.
