Uzbekistan (November, 2019) – While quite beautiful, sadly it appears most of the historical restoration in Shahrisabz is more reconstruction. If memory serves correct; the light seeping in from the late afternoon light, glimmered against the turquoise hued hexagonal tiles and hints of gold paint. Inside the confines of the Kok Gombaz Masjid the immaculate interior showed little signs of its age. I lingered longer than my companion to admire those little details left over from the Timurid empire.

Canada (April, 2016) – The light has shifted, the fierce summer sun is starting to make headway as the planet's axis tilts. So it starts; construction season has effectively begun, gusts of dust permeating everything. As the spring rains dwindle down to namely short angry outbursts, it's evident the next few months will be dusty, dirty and loud. The only real change is the mind-altering skyline.

USA (September, 2016) – It was a first; my brother and I took a short sejour to New York for a few days of exploration. My only real request was to walk The High Line; we mounted our way upwards towards the former railroad spur via access at Hell's Kitchen. Wandering along the elevated garden walkways; gazing out at the skyline, whilst playing hide and seek around the wind propelled art installations. 

Madagascar (March, 2010) – We drove through narrow passages carved out of the landscape caused by constant flooding. Monster sized butterflies and a multitude of birds, took to flight as the jeep raced through a land barely touched by humanity. We twisted and turned, bumped and knocked heads as the jeep struggled to keep a swift pace. Continuing through mud flats and eventually through beautifully lush landscapes. Progressing, we ventured along long stretches of unpaved roads, the red earth peeking out from under the plants and guiding us along the way towards the enchanting land of baobab.
