Orkney – Highland Park Distillery

Photo: A dram of Highland Park Whisky at the Distillery, Kirkwall, Orkney, Scotland.  October 2013 During my first few visit to Orkney I somehow managed to always miss making a visit to the Highland Park distillery in Kirkwall; probably because I was a cheap backpacker back in those days 10+ years ago.  But now that […]

Kvalvika Beach – Lofoten Islands

Photo: Summer sun shines across Kvalvika Beach from the summit of Ryten, Lofoten Islands, Norway.  August 2012 was looking back through some old photos looking for something to post while traveling and came across these images.  I have posted the first one several times, as it is one of my favorite images of one of […]

Poland – Tatra Mountains – Part 2

Photo: Nearing the summit of Koscielec, Tatra Mountains, Poland.  May 2014 Perhaps there had been too many beers Friday night in Zakopane, so it was a slow start to get moving on Saturday morning.  Eventually the four of us were loaded into the car and on the way to the trailhead for the Five Lakes […]

Poland – Tatra Mountains – Part 1

Photo: Stormy spring sky over the Polish Tatra mountains, near Kasprovy Wierch, Poland.  May 2014 My first trip to the Polish Tatra mountains was in the late autumn of 2011 when I was making was way south from Estonia, through Latvia and Lithuania, before an epic, 18 hour bus ride to visit my friend Jack […]

Back On Dry Land – Lofoten

Photo: Summer evening view from the summit of Ryten, Lofoten Islands, Norway.  August 2012 I will be on Lofoten now for more of less the whole of September.  Hopefully the weather is as good as the previous two years, as I have put together a pretty long ‘to-do’ list of mountains to hike.  And I […]

Opole – Poland

Photo: Town Hall and Rynek Market square, Opole, Upper Silesia, Poland.  May 2014 My first, and brief visit to Opole was in May 2013 when I visited the Polish state archives looking for a bit of my family history.  I had know the town by name, but knew little more about the place.  On the […]

Norwegian Sailing Adventure – Tromso To Lofoten

Photo: Kvalvika Beach, Lofoten Islands, Norway.  August 2013 Part two of my travels in Norway begin today: A two week sailing expedition from Tromsø along the Norwegian coast to the Lofoten Islands with Vertical Shot Expeditions. I have only been on a sailboat once before, a week long journey out to the Channel Islands national […]

Tromso Norway

Photo: Hiking into the summer sun, Lofoten Islands, Norway.  August 2013 My last days to enjoy the California sunshine are over and I’m once again on my way north of the arctic circle; which is really my favorite place to be anyhow.  I don’t think I will miss the sun too much! This journey will […]

Lofoten Images in 2015 Geo Saison Calendar

Photo: Northern Lights over Stamsund, Vestvågøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway.  October 2011 For any of you guys in the German speaking countries, a couple of my Lofoten Islands photos are in the GEO ‘Im Licht des Nordens’ 2015 calendar. The first image is on the cover, a photo of the northern lights I took in October […]

Silesian Fields

Photo: Dark skies over green fields, Opole Voivodship, Upper Silesia, Poland.  May 2014 I stopped along the side of the road in the village of Ligota Bialska (Formerly Ellguth), deep into the southern reaches of the former region of Upper Silesia, to take a quick photo of the WW1 memorial and record the names of […]
