Nullarbor Sky
For those of you not in the know, we decided to leave Perth in Western Australia and travel back to Cairns in far north Queensland where we had previously made our home for 17 years. It was a bit of a rushed decision and our van, a VW…

Santa Maria Sky, Cap Corse, Corsica, France.
As this is primarily a photographically based commentary on our travels over the last year or so, and because we have visited such a variety of places each with their own strengths and weaknesses (as viewed from our perspective), I have decided to…

Oia Church and Clouds
It’s no coincidence that blue and white are the colours of the Greek flag and when most people think of Greece they probably tend to think of a sun drenched island with white washed villages, surrounded by the blue waters of the Aegean Sea. This quintessential…

Moonset over Varlaam Monastery
After the first brief five day stop-over in Athens in late May we have now been able to spend a little more time revisiting a few places we went to during our previous trip here as well as a couple of new locations. First up was…

Neamt Dawn
I was expecting Romania to be a bit cooler, temperature wise, compared to where we have been recently and sure enough we have, even in September, had a few sub-zero mornings already and the days are decidedly cooler, which has been enjoyable for us, at least at the…

Rolling farmland in Transylvania
After initially arriving on the overnight train from Budapest (which turned out to be better than expected) we collected the hire car that we now have for three weeks. We then headed straight out of Brasov to Sighisoara, both in Transylvania, where we spent the first…

Two Letters

Lenticular cloud over Belianske Tatry
Chalk and cheese - the only similarity is the first two letters. The words Slovakia and Slovenia are the same in all but two letters, and yet we found the difference between the two countries far greater than chalk and cheese, and if you read…

Storm clouds over Pohorje
The most accurate word I can use to describe what I have seen of Slovenia is bucolic. Not withstanding the fact that it is over 60% forest, the most obvious feature is the patches of rolling farmlands spread between and throughout these forests and hills and…

After the final days in the north of Portugal we spent a short time in Venice, Italy before training it to Slovenia, where we have now been for a few days, neatly book ending our time in Venice.

Sky Pilot
Some of you may have been wondering where we’ve got to since the last entry a few weeks ago. Well, the answer is Portugal. After spending four or five days in Porto to the north, we jumped on the train to Lisbon where we spent another week checking…
