Collecting together most of the photos from our time in Seattle – including some from general wandering not covered in other posts.
Seattle Museum of Flight and the Jet Blast Bash
A visit to Seattle’s Museum of Flight not only ticked another Concorde off my list, but gave me a chance to hear about something even faster, thanks to a talk by SR-71 pilot Brian Shul.
Oregon Rail
To get to Portland, Eugene and back to Seattle we used both of Amtrak’s rail services in the area: the Coast Starlight and Cascades.
Gallery: Eugene Street Art
Our visit to Eugene coincided with the downtown visual arts festival, which included the addition of fresh murals to the 20×21 project. We set out to find some of those, plus other pieces of street art around the city.
A tour of the Columbia River Gorge and Mt. Hood
Discovering some of Oregon’s beautiful scenery by guided tour.
Gallery: Valencian street art
Adding to Valencia’s architectural charms, an impressive array of street art.
Gallery: Valencian Architecture
Although I was visiting Valencia for mathematical reasons, it turned out to be an architectural photography playground.
Two Nights in… Madrid
A hotel voucher to burn, a new camera to test out, and a quirk of BA’s scheduling combined to send me to Madrid – where I was happy to find that this unfamiliar city was an architectural delight, soaking in winter sunshine.
Visting Etna and Alcantara from Taormina
Mt Etna in three courses: a gentle stroll around the Silvestri craters; a more demanding hike up from the cable car station; and paddling in the refreshing waters of the Alcantara gorge.
Gallery: Taormina
Having completed our long trip to Sicily, we spent most of our visit in the pretty cliff-top town of Taormina.
Visiting Pompeii from Naples
The frozen-in-time Roman settlement of Pompeii was a bit of challenge to visit without joining a tour group – but it was easily worth the effort! Here’s what we learnt (plus the obligatory photos).
The Bernina Express
Getting from Switzerland to Italy in style – by narrow gauge railway across the Alps.
