This simple but beautiful church sits on the south side of the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. Búðakirkja is a local parish church that dates back to 1703.
This is one of the most photographed spots in the country and you can see why.
Typical Iceland Countryside
Iceland is full of spots like this. Just one great view after another…
Husavik
I’ve been going through a bunch of my Iceland photos from our pandemic trip and I’m sorry if you’re getting tired of them.
Here is another one. This is the harbor in the village of Husavik Iceland. I loved the looks of these ships with the mountains in the background.
Interesting fun fact: This is the village that is featured in the “Eurovision Song Contest: The Story Of Fire Saga” movie. During our time in this town, we visited a number of locations featured in the movie.
Goðafoss
This wonderful waterfall is on the north side of Iceland. In Icelandic, the name means waterfall of the god. Of course, when the waterfall was named, the gods the people worshipped were pagan. This spot has good parking on both sides of the falls with numerous easy to access paths. When traveling around Iceland, this is a must stop and see spot.
Sedona Airport Mesa
Sedona is truly a beautiful place as many of you know. This is the view from atop a bluff where the airport sits. It has to be the best airport view in the world. I’d bet money (a small amount, I’m not crazy) that more people go to the airport to watch the sunset everyday than they do to fly. There were tons of people up there, like us, for the view….of course this was long before the COVID-19 outbreak.

Sedona Beauty
Happy Tuesday!! It’s time to mix it up again and give you something different. So, tonight’s post is from the beautiful Sedona Arizona. Occasionally, we’d find one of these little trees trying to survive on a rock. That’s when I’d take another dozen photos trying to capture the perfect perspective…..

Sedona Sky
Happy 4th of July to all my American friends as the United States of America celebrates its Independence. We’ll all barbecue and drink beer with friends and family. Frankly, that’s what the holiday has evolved to in our current society.
About the photo: I took this just before sunset at the Sedona airport looking down on Sedona in the valley. Interestingly, this location is probably more popular for sunset and photo taking then it is for the airport.

Sedona Mountains
It’s been a few years since our trip to Sedona. But I just finished processing the photos recently. It’s fairly common for me to fall way behind. So I just processed this image and am sharing it with you.

Machu Picchu
I’ve been so lucky over my life with all the travel and wonderful destinations I’ve been able to experience. Today’s post is from our past trip to Machu Picchu in Peru. This historic site is just…… WOW!! By the way, we have some great trips planned for 2018. Some long weekends and some longer trips…. Fun!!
Have a great day.

Garden Of The Gods
In early December, I got the chance to visit Colorado Springs. What a nice city and location. I was impressed!! Right outside my hotel balcony was this amazing view of Garden Of The Gods. I took this photo in the early morning hoping to catch the sun shining off the mountains

Sedona Sunset
I’m going to be busy over the next week or so. I don’t know if I’ll have time to post any photos this week or not. I’ll do my best to post via my normal schedule…but no promises. For now, you can enjoy this panorama photo I took while we were in Sedona Arizona. We (Kris, Scott, MJ and I) all went up to the Sedona airport to get up on the hill top for this view. It’s not a secret spot…there were hundreds of people up there doing the same thing.

Hout Bay
Here is another South Africa photo and this one doesn’t include an animal. This is Hout Bay which is south of Cape Town on the Cape Peninsula. We had a nice time exploring this area and as you can see the location is beautiful. Frankly, there was lots of beautiful locations in the country, even if an animal wasn’t in the foreground.

Sedona Panorama
Today’s post is from outside of Sedona Arizona. We had a great trip here with Kris and Scott. I took this photo (really 25 photos put together) during the middle of a Pink Jeep tour through the mountains.

Vista in Montenegro
We couldn’t dock while we were in Kotor Montenegro. So they had to use tendor boats to get back and forth from shore. One of the tendors took us around front of the ship, allowing me to capture this great shot of the Carnival Vista with the mountains in the background.

Kotor
Today’s post is a photo I took in the mountains looking down on Kotor Montenegro. This little country was part of the former Yugoslavia. I enjoyed our visit and loved this view.

Machu Picchu Pano
Tonight’s photo post if from Machu Picchu again. I’ve been working my way through our Peru trip. I’ve been processing lots of photos from this trip. And I have to say, the photos remind me of what a great trip it really was. I know my dad enjoyed it as well. Anyway, here is Machu Picchu again.

Machu Picchu
Here is another great photo from our trip to Peru. This isn’t the typical view of Machu Picchu. That’s probably what I like best about it. It’s different. MJ and I explored every angle and aspect of the wonderful “must see” location.

Machu Picchu's Neighbors
Sorry I’ve been absent from the blog lately. The reason…..I was traveling to Michigan for some shipwreck scuba diving with some friends.
Anyway, tonight I have a picture from Machu Picchu. The entire abandoned city is surrounded by these amazing mountain peaks. In a weird way, the mountain peaks are neighbors to this Inca mountain top city.

Andes Mountains
Here is a photo from our Peru trip in May. I took this as we traveled from Cusco to Puno. The Andes Mountains in South America are beautiful.

Hofsós Iceland
I know, I know….. another photo from Iceland. I don’t know what to say, it’s just such an amazing location with wonderful landscapes, excellent people, wide-open geography, and lots and lots of sheep. I took this picture when MJ and I were exploring Hofsos, which sits on Skagafjordur bay in the northern part of the country. Hofsos is a small village of about 200 people with a natural harbor for their fishing industry. Their main tourist attraction is The Icelandic Emigration Center, which is a museum dedicated to the westward migration to North America (mainly Minnesota) at the start of the 19th century. We met a 10 year old boy who was working the front desk. If you didn’t know any better, you would have guessed he was from Chicago based on his use and accent of the England language. This little village has an amazing community pool as well, but that’s another story.
