Travel and Adventure

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..
