Buddha Statue at Soon Oo Pon Nya Shin Pagoda, Sagaing, Myanmar

Prayer Hall of the New Mosque (Yeni Cami) Istanbul

Istanbul’s Grand “New” Mosque

The docks and canals of Bruges once bustled at night. Now it’s still. And beautiful.

Historic Prison at the Maritime Museum of Ushuaia Argentina

Ushuaia’s Maritime Museum

It’s the jail at the end of the world. It would have been very cold, very drafty, and, even compared to the low bar set by late-19th-century prisons, altogether rather unpleasant. But if you could sneak to a window, what a view!

Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula, Brussels, Belgium

Cathedral of Saints Michael & Gudula

Most churches count their blessings to have one patron saint. This one has two.

Phonsavan Morning Market Cooked Food

At Phonsavan’s morning market you can sit for a tasty bowl of freshly made steaming pho for breakfast or buy some local fruit. You can find much that looks familiar, and quite a lot that doesn’t.

Reflections in the Lemaire Channel Antarctica

Gliding Through the Glassy Calm Waters of Antarctica’s Kodak Gap

That the Lemaire Channel is nicknamed “Kodak Gap” is a pretty good indication that it’s reliably scenic. When the conditions are right, it’s spectacular.

Kayaking in Antarctica at Petermann Island

Kayaking in Antarctica

There are worse places to be than gliding silently at water level amongst the icebergs, seals, and penguins of Antarctica.

Humpback Whale in Antarctica at Sunset

The Colors of Antarctica

When you think of Antarctica, you probably think of lots of white and blue. I was surprised to find that it’s a lot more colorful than that.

Aya Sofya interior with tourists

Hagia Sophia, Istanbul’s Byzantine Jewel

Photo of Boys on a bike with sunset on the Mekong in Vientiane Laos (Viang Chan)

Vientiane, City on the Mekong

Vientiane’s waterfront seems purpose-built for beautiful sunsets. With a wide promenade and park, it’s well used. And right across the river is Thailand.

Ek' Balam Tomb of Ukit Kan Le'k Tok'

Ek Balam, Maya City of the Jaguar

Mt Kilimanjaro Stars and Camp at Lava Tower

Climbing Kilimanjaro

We’ve made it to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro. 19,341 feet. We’re on top of Africa, far above the clouds. And though we’re right next to the equator, it’s very, very cold and there are thick ice glaciers.

Newark New Jersey Downtown Aerial Photo at Night

Newark at Night from the Air

Newark, New Jersey, isn’t exactly known as a jewel of the American northeast. But from certain vantage points, it can actually be quite pretty. Glittery, even.
