My collection of brief visual introductions to various parts of our planet ,
calendar of movements and portable scrapbook/diary.
In chronological order
note to self ; The following continental journeys remain ,
- Pacific rim : Japan , Taiwan & Kamtchatka.
- Other Asia : India , Bhutan , Nepal , Tibet & Mongolia.
- Red Sea rim : Egypt , Eritrea , Djibouti and Ethiopia when re-exploring the red sea.
- Other Africa : Cameroon , Gabon and Brazzaville + Senegal and Guinea - Bissau +
Ghana ,Togo , Benin and Säo Tomé & Principe of course + Eastern Africa & Madagascar.
- Arctic : Canada & Greenland when going sea exploring to Iceland the Faroes and Svalbard.
- Other : Western OZ + Aegean to Caspian sea. Guyanas , Caribbean , Central America.
( that swath of land between Morocco and India is conspicuously absent from my list
due to it being physically as ugly as it is culturally un appetizing )
End of current world survey (No major areas of personal interest left to explore....on land.)
A window upon the world , a visual instant in time frozen for all eternity.
As we drift through our existence it is up to us to decide which windows to open ,
and which ones shall be left closed forever.
Our mind is not an objective eventrecorder nor is it a subjective memory cache to be relied upon.
It erodes........like seacliffs being pounded by the waves of time , to eventually vanish forever.
So , for god's sake , get yourself a bloody camera !
And remember, a picture says more than a thousand words.
Cheers Rick
P.S. 95% of the Photos on this site were taken with a Casio Exilim credit card size camera
In 2008 I changed to Canon SD 870 IS, a wide angle ultracompact (bordering on too large)
