This photograph was taken during the rainy season along the Nabaoy River, just a stone’s throw by boat from Boracay island in the Philippines. The flower, brought to life along with others of virtually every colour by the seasonal deluges, belongs to the terrestrial family of orchids, one of the many pretty flora planted along the banks of the Nabaoy.

Strolling through Damascus’ Al-hamidiyah Souq, one comes across many Levantine delights. The goods on sale include items of local copperware, wooden mosaic artwork and much, much more. Everyone should sample the delights of the Bekdash Ice Cream shop, which serves first-rate, locally made ice cream to help you gain weight! After a wonderful walk, you find yourself in the shadow of the the beautiful Umayyad Mosque.

The place evoked a deep feeling of peace and calmness, a sensation which is natural in this kind of landscape. The breeze, gentle as it was, along with the calm sea and the deep, vibrant blues that collided with each other out to the horizon, reminds me of nothing but the pleasure of being in such pristine surroundings, and our profound connection to nature as human beings.

This photo was taken when our friend Vere from Arizona – who belongs to the Navajo nation – was visiting Slovenia. She adores pleasant walks through quiet main market and old part of Ljubljana. We were standing by the statue of our greatest Slovenian poet, Mr. Preseren, enjoying a slow morning on a quiet March day. March is still low season in Ljubljana. There are not a lot of tourists, so you can observe local life without bumping into the groups who descend on Ljubljana during summer time.

This photo is taken on a floating cycle path on the Brisbane River in this capital city of the Australian state of Queensland. It is near the Story Bridge (on the way to Newfarm), which sometimes wriggles and contorts with the small waves moving under the pathway.

It is common to read in travel blogs the advice that September is not the most recommended month to visit Buenos Aires. This is usually because it is winter in the southern hemisphere and can be very cold. But the weather was one of the main reasons that my girlfriend and I decided to go there for the weekend.

This picture shows a number of manmade caves, located in the Erdemli Valley outside the town of Yeşilhisar in Cappadocia, Turkey. Cappadocia became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985 in recognition of its cultural and historical heritage. While plenty of other sites are also memorable for the presence of cave homes, Cappadocia is unique in the World for the sheer number of such dwellings. Literally thousands of manmade caves pepper the rock walls of the area’s valleys.
