San Sebastián, Parte Vieja (old quarter). Basilica de Santa Maria del Coro. If you visit, you'll find a lived-in sort of feel, the kind of place that's pleasant to visit and probably even more pleasant to call home. Of course, you must eat yourself silly

Day 1, Camino de Santiago del Norte. We took the so-called "alpinist" route in the hills outside of Guadelupe. A good challenge for 16 miles, included conversations in broken and blended French and Spanish with locals taking day hikes and doing trail runs

The streets of old town St. Jean de Luz, Basque France. At the local Marche les Halles, we met Monsieur Pétian, a vendor who had walked the Camino de Santiago 7 times and is now the man with the stamp, our first in our Peregrino passports. That and blue s

The Lonely Pilgrim. On the streets of old town Bordeaux after the break of the storm. Making our way down the southwest coast of France to Irun, Spain, the setting off point for the Norte Camino de Santiago.

On top of Tasmania. Or least atop Cradle Mountain -- at the summit, looking southeast. This was a fabulous day hike/climb. Challenging and rewarding, the sort that leaves your legs sore for a couple of days. 600m/2000 ft ascent, with 90 minutes of boulder

Where's Audrey? The sand dunes of Nambung National Park, just south of Cervantes, Western Australia en route to the town of Lancelin. "Maybe I should pull over. I want to check these dunes out." So glad we did, just by chance. Parked the camper van, wal

Early morning sunlight, just as it begins to carve and fill the aptly named Z-Bend River Trail -- Kalbarri National Park, Western Australia.

The Pinnacles of Western Australia. Like staring at a Dali painting. Mysterious limestone formations. Speculation runs between "remnants of ancient petrified vegetation" and "an over abundance of nutrients delivered to plant root systems at the surface."

Happy Valentine's Day...if you're celebrating, of course. A fitting scene, it seemed to me. Taken at Green Pools, Western Australia. #nofilter

Elephant Rocks, William Bay National Park. Just outside of Denmark, Western Australia. This is for real. No filter, no fuss, no muss. Walk up, be blown away by nature, snap. Then put the camera away and take it all in. Or reverse the order.

Mandalay Beach, Western Australia. Among the top 5 (3?) most beautiful beaches I have ever experienced. I use the word "experience" deliberately. The power of the surf could be felt from a distance (at the time, a swim would be insane as the riptides were

Late afternoon shadows and silhouettes. -- Gibson Steps, Great Ocean Road. Romantic, playful and artistic in turns. Random factoid and contrast to levity: the Great Ocean Road is considered the world's largest war memorial at 151 miles (243km) long, dedi

The 12 Apostles looking east on the Great Ocean Road. What you see is what you get -- light, shadows, hues and all. The epicenter of one of the world's more remarkable coastal road trips. Felt like Oz. #Australia

The Brighton Bathing Boxes at Dendy St. Beach just south of Melbourne. Originally built as ladies' changing sheds back in the 1800s, the beach boxes now sell for up to $260,000. You cant sleep in them or sublet them and you have to be a local taxpayer to

Scads of street art, layers of graffiti -- Hosier Lane / Rutledge Lane, Melbourne. Just a taste of some of the luscious street art and mixed media tucked in the lane ways of the downtown central business district.
