Palouse Falls is a beautiful 200″ (60m) waterfall in southeastern Washington state, situated in the rolling grasslands, wheat fields and eroded lava formations of the Palouse.
Iceland is an adventure waiting to happen. There’s no better starting place than its largest city.
A recreation from Walt Disney’s classic film, ‘Fantasia”.
Beneath the desert of eastern New Mexico is a beautiful subterranean world!
We had spent the past week slowly working our way up the slopes of Kilimanjaro via the Shira route. Today was the day we would summit the mountain, before beginning our descent.
We had ascended the western base of the volcano this past half week, had hiked through jungle and moorland, and were now entering Kilimanjaro’s alpine desert region.
The first major battle of the American Civil War occurred on July 21, 1861 about 30 miles east of Washington D.C, in a place called Manassas
Mt. Kilimanjaro has fascinated me ever since I read Ernest Hemingway’s classic novella, “The Snows of Kilimanjaro“. Little did I know as a schoolboy that I would one day walk its slopes. As it turned out my journey to the Roof of Africa was one of my greatest travel experiences.
Cape Point is a peninsula extending south of Cape Town, ending in the Cape of Good Hope (where old mariners from Europe used to take a sharp left as they headed to the Far East). On the shores of this peninsula is a small town where you have the chance to see a large breeding colony of jackass (African) penguins.
