I have a friend who said her father whenever he was irritated by his family would jokingly threaten to move to Denmark. He never intended to move of course but my friend said he often waxed lyrical about how lovely Copenhagen and the whole of Denmark was. He said it was a beautiful, sane place…
This is Cap Manuel, Dakar, the western-most point of Africa. Many years ago (during World War 1, it is said), a bunker was hewn into the cliffs of Cap Manuel and a watchtower also built. To take this picture, one would have to stand on top of the bunker and endure the fierce winds that…
When I saw this picture, I had to pause and admire it. The picture is of Ol Doinyo Lengai also known as the ‘Mountain of God’ and it is an active volcano in Tanzania. I studied Geology in university and loved it so I’m often fascinated by things that remind me of the subject, things…

Many years ago, I saw a picture of a beach with black sand and I’ve been fascinated with black sand beaches ever since. Apparently, the sand on those beaches is black as a result of volcanic activity in the area. This picture is of
When I think about Scotland, the first thing that comes to my mind is the Loch Ness Monster. This beautiful picture shows where the monster (which I very much doubt exists) lives or lived. Anyone
Sentosa Island is a little island off Singapore’s coast. I would like to go to Singapore with its amazing shopping and other attractions but I would love to visit Sentosa Island. Sentosa Island is apparently a tourist’s haven with beaches, restaurants and lots of stuff to do. This photograph of Sentosa
The Agbokim Waterfalls are in Etung, Cross River State. The drive to the Falls from Calabar takes about three and a half hours so you really have to want to go there to go there, if you know what I mean. The falls are about half-way between Calabar and Obudu Mountain Resort by road so…
