MalloryOnTravel: "A wilderness may appear empty, even stark, yet just an hour in this landscape is immensely fullfilling" It's necessary to wrap up warm and a drive on a snowmobile from @storasjofallet to reach this place of solitude and beauty. However, it is well worth

MalloryOnTravel: "Boundaries between light and darkness, spiritually and literally" The Calle Cuesta del Castillo in the lovely city of #caravacadelacruz seems slightly special. From the first glimpse from the nearby highway, to the walk up the hill until finally steppin
MalloryOnTravel: "Any port in a storm may be the well known phrase, but any port at sunset seems equally approprate" When the sun peeks from behind brooding autumnal clouds in #mustseemutcia #spain it is a treat most of the day. The lower path it takes through the day m
MalloryOnTravel: "Nature's diamond necklaces decorate the morning" A dull, wet morning in late October, the day the clocks get turned back for the 100th time, may not seem a promising reason to climb out of bed early. However, discovering a 'jewel' encrusted bay leaf tr
MalloryOnTravel: "Small, delicate and perfectly formed" This lovely, little butterfly looks delicate, and yet it survives in the rugged environment of the Borneo jungle. These creatures of the miniature world often seem fragile, paper thin wings and their small size ten

MalloryOnTravel: "Freedom doesn't come freely, it must be sought" Those that know me are well aware how I feel about the freedom which paragliding affords. Riding the thermals seems to epitomise the spirit of freedom. This is Martin the barman from @MoaAlm1800 in the ea

MalloryOnTravel: "A place of worship staight out of Chariots of the Gods" This Hallgrimskitkja church in Reykjavik brings a whole new meaning to esoteric architecture to me. Who designs a church which looks like a spaceship ready to blast off? Although it's tempting to

MalloryOnTravel: "Gorilla trekking ..... made for sharing" The hour spent with the gorillas of Titus troop was too special an experience to only share one pic, so here's one of the youngest of the family. As you can see he's more cute than ferocious, but don't let his b
