I’m playing with experimenting with technology today at Inside the Travel Lab. So here’s a cool photo from the island of Miya Jima (Shrine Island) in Japan to keep you entertained while I meddle with connections to Inside the Travel Lab’s Facebook Page.
Back soon…
A Photo Journey Through the Capital of Wales
The Taff Trail strides through the valleys of South Wales, taking in castles, countryside and what has been optimistically described as “industrial archaeology.”I’ve strolled, cycled and even rollerbladed along its path, although I’ve never made the complete trip from the capital city of Cardiff through to the town [...]
In Morocco, the colours dazzle.
Marketplaces, in particular, fire up my photoreceptors faster than I can manage to take photos.
It’s not a flashy photo but I love this shot from Rio, Brazil. I was walking between those iconic beaches, Ipanema and Copacabana, when I saw…
Geneva is a city with an international reputation and Place du Molard clearly wants people to feel at home. Snuggled among the charcoal cobbles, glowing squares say hello in languages from around the world.
At least I assume that’s what they mean. I couldn’t translate them all…

Mont Blanc, the white mountain, rises out of the Alps to claim the title of the highest peak in Western Europe. I’ve been lucky enough to..
Holy smoke. Just back from the most beautiful and terrifying drive of my life. Words to follow. Can you guess where it is?

High in the Andes, our little boat jolts unevenly as it battles with Lake Titicaca’s choppy waves. The sky is overcast but even without the heavy clouds we’d struggle to see the shore. South America’s largest lake lives at 3,800 metres, separates two countries and behaves like a mountainous ocean god.
However, it’s not the lake [...]
Across Japan, amidst the crowds or within the privacy of solitude, people read their fortunes and say their prayers. Depending on whether they like what they read, they tie the paper in neat knots outside the temple.
A little further out, however, Seville reveals its modern face, the lights and the energy of a city on the up.
The streets of Havana are restless, active places – and that’s why I love this photo so much. Life is lived outside, from children playing football in the dust, to laundry drying, to neighbours
Remember the time when a photograph was something we held in our hands, waited for weeks to see and then painstakingly arranged in albums we could touch? Or in my case, at least, stuffed them in a cardboard box somewhere with great plans to do all that at some vague point in the future.
In Europe’s largest aquarium, small creatures still command attention.
Oceanográfico, Valencia, Spain
Over the years, I’ve travelled by coach, plane and train to reach the City of Lights. I even hitch-hiked once. Each time I arrive, I remember why I keep coming. It’s for views like this – and the onion soup, of course
I imagined southern Spain would throng with sunshine and crowds. As my train blurred through fog-cloaked olive groves, with snow packed on the ground, I had to readjust.
These days, I take promises of viewing exotic wildlife with more than a pinch of saltwater. Particularly endangered species. To find pandas I had to travel for days. To glimpse a tiger, I shivered morning and night under a blanket of frost.
But to see turtles in Barbados? I only needed to…
