    P...Meow Wolf, right? I went to the Omega Mart in Vegas last year.

    Yeah, we went to Meow Wolf in Santa Fe over the holidays. Good way to make a kid feel like they're on acid without actually giving them the stuff!

    View from our hotel, Golden, British Colombia.

    It’s been 40 years since I was in this part of the world, and I’m reminded that nature abhors a vacuum: Europeans came here and disappeared the “Indians”, now actual Indians are back. In numbers.

    Niiiice.  Golden's a great place for skiing in the winter, I hear.  Old friend used to be a ski bum there.

    Indian ppl generally appreciate natural places more than other cultures I've lived in.  (I'm of Indian heritage btw.)  There's a mountain in Switzerland that's over-run with Indian tourist because it fits within the venn diagram of spectacular nature and bollywood: https://www.utracks.com/Blog/mount-titlis-bollywoods-favourite-swiss-mountain  ;


    The quiet waterfalls in my hometown are packed every weekend these days with Indian ppl appreciating the hell out of nature.

    Cheers to that! Also been appreciating the weather - been unseasonably hot all last week. Today has cooled off a little: about 25c LOL. Apocalypse here we come.

    There's a place not far from us, Stepping Stones in Dovedale.  We went last year mid-week and it was quiet AF.  Next time we went it was a weekend and the whole place was heaving.   Very popular with Indians who were 90% of the visitors.  I don't know why this place specifically, as it's in countryside in the middle of nowhere and all the villages nearby are tiny, populated by white old folks.  It just seemed like a bit of a pilgrimage.

    God I sound old and white.  But it was just surprising to see such a concentration and be in a very small white minority in a place so typically British.  There are the usual complaints on the internet about freestyle parking and littering but this is a trait common to every culture when the facilities do not match the audience.

    Would love to see Hope, B.C. - Where "First Blood" was filmed. Despite the local five-oh (Brian Dennehy as Sheriff Will Teasle) needing to keep it "Boring." Turns out he was given war he wouldn't believe because he wouldn't let it go.

    Awesome. I met a group of Dutch during my diving class. They were telling me all about back home.

    I like Amsterdam/Holland, but I think I’d like to live in Brussels next. It’s got a unique vibe. Kind of scuzzy, bohemian, dotted with little bistros and places you could respectably while away an afternoon/lifetime necking red wine and working on a never-to-be-finished novel.

    Seen the same bird twice in two different locations in Venice (must be lag between captures):




  • BANANAS. I remember the old Gigapixel Project back in the day - they didn't have DSLRs or stitching software worth a damn so they literally just took 8x10 inch film exposures on a giant field camera, the kind with the bellows, and scanned it. I used to click around those like this.

    Nice! Coincidentally, the other day I was looking at a list of unusual town names and, sure enough, Dildo was there.

    Haha - not too far from Spread Eagle, which makes total sense

    I was in Bahia for the past week: Salvador, Chapada Diamantina and Morro de São Paulo.

    I was at University with the Mayor of Salvador's daughter.  I always wanted to go.  Deffo let me know the highlights.  One day, amigo...

  • ElectrodeElectrode Los Angeles 3,126 Posts
    You know people!

    Highlights: the crystal blue swimming holes in and near the caves in Chapada via Lençóis, hiking Morro do Pai Início, riding a quad inside Ilha de Tinharé and boating around it. I stayed in the Pelorinho which was as touristy as I expected it to be. But who showed me around is an architect and gave me history lessons I haven't heard before about the churches, government buildings and statues in the area. He also introduced me to spots such as the home studio of a world renowned azulejo artist, far away from people getting up in your personal space desperately trying to paint you or sell Olodum merch. And it got to the point where I was eating simply for pleasure: acarajé, caldo de sururu, dobradinha...

    Unfortunately, as I am unable to work remotely, am allotted only two weeks of paid vacation per year at my current job and hours involved going to and from the three, time wasn't on my side. I missed museums I wanted to visit as most of them are closed on Monday or some under renovation. Spending months playing connect-the-dots all over Brazil is one of the boxes I need to check when I get the chance.
