Episode 2 – The Tropic of Capricorn

As I was driving through the outback of Australia, I drove past this sign. I couldn’t let this opportunity pass, so I pulled over the van and did an impromptu podcast. If you ever wondered why the tropics are the tropics, now you’ll know. [display_podcast]

Tasmania: Australian for Cold

I arrived in Hobart last night and was taken aback at how cold it was. The temperature was in low 50sF (12C). Thank goodness I have a stocking hat and some long sleeved. The room I have looked like a 1950s motel room with only an electric space heater to keep it warm. The heater …

Back from the outback

I’ve probably learned more about photography than I have in the last year. I got three dives in and took about 200 photos. I got to use my camera, my lens, my everything…..underwater. I …

All Seriousness Aside…

There are no things in life more serious than the internet and traveling. Put them together and you get something more serious than a heart attack in the middle of a church service. So I’m back in Sydney now where I can once again wear sandals and short and not worry about freezing. My goal …

Vacation From Vacation

I’ve started my Melbourne vacation from vacation. It has been a pretty productive first day. I got a new site up and running. It is called Where On Google Earth?. It is pretty simple. I put up an image from Google Earth and you guess where it is from. Starting tomorrow, I’ll be going through …
