Favourite Snap: Ang Thong National Marine Park, Thailand

March 26, 2012

  Thinking about heading to South East Asia in a few weeks has got us thinking about sandy beaches and sunny days. We took this stunning snap on our visit to Angthong National Marine Park, Thailand. The park is an archipelago of 42 islands in the Gulf of Thailand, and we spent the day exploring a few of them. Several are completely overrun by tourists and it is sad to see the impact that it has on the marine life in the area. [...]

Favourite Snaps – Action Shot: Todra Gorge, Morocco

February 27, 2012

This favourite snap comes from our recent trip to Morocco, where the sites were aplenty, the scenery astounding and the atmosphere contagious.

Looking like they are right out of a Jackie Chan action flick, Ryan and Amen really nailed this one in creating the ultimate kick ass snap. [...]

I have always been fascinated with standing stones and loved to devour anything I could about them as a kid; books, documentaries, tv shows. Over the past few months I have been giddy with excitement anytime there has been the prospect of seeing and in some cases actually touching standing stones (this sends shivers down my spine even writing it now). This burial chamber was the highlight of my standing stone crusade of Wales.

Favourite snaps: Capo D’Orlando Sicily

November 24, 2011

One of my favourite places this summer just gone. The small beach side town of Capo D’Orlando, Sicily, watches over the Aeolian Islands which dot the horizon on a clear day and create a beautiful backdrop for the incredible sunsets over the bay.

Favourite snaps: Fairy-tale views

September 26, 2011

  What a view to wake up to every morning. This was taken out of out hostel dorm room window in Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland. I will definitely be sad to be leaving this gorgeous town.  

Favourite Snaps: Pass the pipe around

August 18, 2011

We were sitting having dinner at a  restaurant in Istanbul when the waiter introduced us to their pet duck. Having sussed out out for any potential tidbits he went and settled himself down for a puff of shisha.
