The camel may be ugly, but it's cheaper to run than a car! by TREVOR IRWIN

It was hard to know who is more frightened, the guy on the camel or the camel. We met a caravan of these lovely people. We were lost. They were very helpful. Its hard to find your way in Kebbe state. Nigeria. No road signs. No Roads!.

On a recon before a friends wedding I was booked to shoot I found this nice little bend on the Swan River, Perth.
Exquisite Bantei Srei by Inishiata

Bantei Srei is one of my favourite temples in the Angkor complex. A small temple which has a very feminine energy is away from the main complexes. Made of a very pink stone it is unlike most of the other temples – the carving on it is exquisite. / It reminds me of the energy of the Temple of Isis in Egypt – another feminine temple on an Island in the Lower Nile. It also connects with the feminine energy in Uluru and Kata Juta in central Australia. / These feminine energy sites are being reconnected as we visit between them and other feminine energy points on the earth.
Grand Canyon by Athena Blanco

December 2007 People gather at a lookout to take in the spectacular view of the South Rim, and to watch the play of shadows as sunset approaches. (corrected brightness – please don’t hold it against me. I had only used the camera for a week, and had great difficuly getting the settings right for both foreground and background!)

About This Group

Images and writing from exotic locations, people, iconography and architecture.

What I would imagine people who joined this group share is a passion of discovery. Travel is an opportunity to experience new things. To be thrown out of your comfort zone, learn adaption and observe the way different societies and cultures live out their lives. See how human diversity expresses itself in architecture and monuments, fashion and tradition, everyday life. I would imagine it’s these sort of things that are represented in this gallery by art and photography. Plus the spirit of adventure thats encompassed in getting off a bus or plane at a new location, smelling the air and those first few moments of excitement you get as you notice the differences.

Some Guidelines to Help:
Firstly I want to thank our members for providing some fantastic work so far, there’s everything from the iconic and powerful to the sincere and personal representations of travel experience.

I’d like to paint a thin line around what sort of content should appear here. And I want to make this the responsibility of the contributor, I don’t want this group to be filled with the automatic click every box type images that could be seen in any and every other group.

If you can’t look at the image your contributing and be convinced that it’s a reflection of a new experience gained by travel then it probably shouldn’t be here.

For example, I certainly wouldn’t expect pictures of the family dog.

This particular category is highly coupled with the literary essence of travel so I’d like to see more emphasis put on story telling, yes an image speaks a thousand words..but can it form a sentence?

At a bare minimum, images will have a description stating where they were taken.

There is a 10 images and 10 writing piece limitation per member. So you will need to consider your future contributions, and perhaps cycle your work a bit.

Thanks guys and all the best..
