Travel Theme: Spooky

By Vladimir Brezina

Ailsa’s Travel-Themed photo challenge this eek is Spooky.

This is still an old photo, from Halloween 2011. But I will head out any day now to take fresh photos of this year’s Halloween decorations that are now cropping up in our neighborhood. It should be a spooky Halloween this year…

… unless of course Hurricane Sandy spooks us out first. Current forecasts have it arriving in New York City precisely on Halloween!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Foreign

By Vladimir Brezina

This week’s Photo Challenge is Foreign.

Thinking about this challenge, I realized that I have an entire trove of old B&W negatives and photos, taken eons ago on my travels—foreign in both time and space.

Travel Theme: Couples, Take Two

By Vladimir Brezina

Ailsa’s travel-themed photo challenge this week is Couples.

Ah, the romance of shared travel by kayak! And what better to ensure that shared togetherness than a double kayak?

Soon arguments break out, and loud words carry over the water, to the secret amusement of other paddlers.

“Shouldn’t you be steering more to the left?”

“I know where I am going!”

“I thought we agreed to stop on that beach over there!?”

The couple have trouble paddling at the same rate and synchronizing their strokes…

and both feel that they are doing all the work

until they both just put down their paddles in frustration

No wonder double kayaks are known as “divorce boats”!
