Travel

I definitely have the travel bug and love to experience different cultures around the world and capture them with my camera. I have been fortunate to have visited some amazing places so far and this collection showcases some of the colourful scenes and details from Morocco, Cuba, India, China, Ecuador, the Seychelles and of course closer to home in Europe. Please click on an image to view larger and see further information, including its location and some commentary. You can also click the link below to sit back and watch the images as a slideshow should you wish!
