Tiki Guardians in Kona, Hawaii - Postcard by SolPacifico

This is a picture that my husband took when we were on vacation on the big island of Hawaii in 2009. They're tiki statues located at Pu'uhonua o Honaunau (Place of Refuge) National Park in Kona, Hawaii.

The tradition of the native Hawaiians was if you broke taboo, you could swim across the bay & seek sanctuary in the temple located at the site. Hawaiian royalty also lived here.

Desert Highway Postcard by KenKPhoto

Along US Interstate 40, about 1 to 2 hours west of Williams, AZ, we were on a typical desert highway. I stopped to take this photo.

If you notice carefully, I was not in the middle of the highway, as there were cars and trucks speeding by at 75 mph (120 kph). I stopped the car, set up the shot, and then quickly got back in.

Two words of advice: be very careful in setting up a safe location for a photo and burn a disk of Western-themed music (my favorite: the theme from The Magnificent Seven) for listening to music while you drive.

You'll swear you'll be seeing John Wayne galloping in the distance!

The Point Defiance ferryboat leaves from Tacoma, WA and travels a short 10 or 15 minutes to Tahlequah at the southern tip of Vashon Island. From there you can drive the length of the island and take another ferry to Seattle or to the Olympic Peninsula, where more ferries will carry you to many other parts of Puget Sound. It's a great way to travel! One time I had my birthday party (yes, I'm a grown-up) on this boat. We did have to ride back and forth a few times, but it was lots of fun.

Balinghai Beach, on the island Boracay in the Philippines.

A pristine white beach in a secluded bay on the island Boracay. While the other beaches on the island can get crowded, this one is usually quiet.

Bonn, Germany

Bonn, Germany, the Rhine River by aapshop

This photo was taken in Bonn, Germany. I saw the YELLOW air balloon flying towards the DHL headquarters with the YELLOW logo, and at the same time a riverboat (with a YELLOW something on it) approaching on the Rhine river.
It took a lot of patience and running left, right, front and backwards to get them all three at the right spot. But I did. Smile

Provence , France

Misty morning in Provence by ruralfrance

Provence in southern France isn't always warm and sunny, this was a misty drizzly morning in spring. The plane trees with their attractive patterned bark lining the road edge are typical of many regions of France, and give welcome shade in the hot summers. Too early for the lavender fields to be in bloom, but worth a visit at any time of the year.

I was lucky enough to get up close and personal with the famous “Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill” when they used to hang out in a small one block square park where people used to go to feed them before the feedings were banned a couple of years ago for their own protection.

They had become so tame, people were trying to walk off with them. For that reason, I can’t divulge exactly where this photo was taken but you can see how close the high rise building is in the background.

I have several photos of them but since they no longer hang out in the park, I've been unable to get more as they fly all over the city and no longer keep their afternoon feeding appointment at the park like they used to.

Plan on making a day of it, when you hike the 6 mile hike to Lighthouse Rock. The scenery makes it all worthwhile, & the rush you'll have after climbing almost to the top, will long be remembered.

Trails are everywhere in this park, and you'll likely find one to suit you, whether you're looking for an easy, pleasant walk, or a more challenging hike. Fees to enter the park are 5.00 per person.

Helsinki, Finland

Under the bridge by Boogybunny

I took this walking under the railroad tracks in Helsinki suburbs. The conctrete elements reminded me of a dinosaur. It also reminded me how closely our architechture is related to the slavik design sense: monolithic concrete structures right in the middle of the woods.

Badlands National Park, South Dakota

The Badlands, home of the Lakota & Dakota became a National Park in 1939. The sedimentary deposits that make up the landscape creates muted hues of colors. Each layer of deposits dates the rock ranging back to 80 million years ago. Also inside the part is untouched prairie land. This area is one of my personal favorites.

Along the Icefield Parkway in Alberta, the Canadian Rocky Mountains provide a stunning scenic view. This is Mt. Murcheson, which is showing the many layers of sedimentary rocks it is made of.
