  • Organizing pics from this year’s #travel - there will always be a soft spot in my heart for #montmartre.

  • Good times wrapping up #summer at #theex in #Toronto today. Killer #airshow by the #snowbirds and the #redarrows, despite the rain.

  • Being a bit of a #touristinmyowncity this month. Luckily, #southernontario has a ton of brilliant options to check out. This is #hiltonfalls in the #Oakville / #Milton area, less than 45 minutes from #Toronto. .

  • I was just organizing a few pics from #Paris, when I realized how often we came across different versions of the #statueofliberty while there. There are 5 in the #cityoflight - this one can be found outside the #artsetmetiers #museum in the #marais; there’s another smaller one inside; there’s one at the #museedorsay; there’s one at the #jardindeluxembourg; and the biggest one in Paris can be found in the #seine near Ile-aux-Cygnes. Cool right? There are actually Lady Liberty statues all over the world, but Paris is obviously a great place to find them.

  • Planning #travel, for me, is a huge part of the experience. I spend way more time on it than I should, but that’s mostly because I just can’t wait to wrap myself up in faraway lands and exotic experiences. In the words of Kramer, “in my mind I’m already there.” 😉👊✈️
Working on another #seasia trip for this fall. This is #chiangmai, the view from #doisuthep in northern #Thailand, taken last year. Can’t wait to return.

  • #tbt 2 years ago this week we got up at 4:45 am to go shoot the #sunrise at #HumberBay on the west side of #Toronto. A local artist had built this awesome driftwood sign, which provided the perfect foreground for a shot of the skyline. A brilliant #morning. The sign didn’t last, but this will always be one of my favourite Toronto pics.

  • I get busted for never including pictures of myself, usually because I’m the one taking the pics, so it makes it tricky. So here’s a rare #selfie, if you can call it that. Cheers!

  • Doing some #writing today about #France and came across this pic I took of #notredame from the #seine. It was a quiet spring #night, the #cathedral casting a glow over the #cityoflight..#idyllic. A week and a half later it burned. I’m grateful for having experienced Notre Dame as it was, and I’m looking forward to seeing what it becomes in the future.

  • 3 photos....Today I was asked about my favourite spot in #Iceland, and I had to vote for #Jokusarlon. The #jokulsarlonglacierlagoon is a #serene, #amazing, #beautiful spot of #outdoor goodness. The #glaciers move slowly towards the #ocean, every now and then flipping, making a sound like rolling thunder. Standing on the shore feels like living in a simple, magnificent world of #wonder.

  • The back entrance to #Bayon on a stormy afternoon. We were there one year ago today...one of my all-time favourite temples.

  • A year ago today I was kicking back at Huay Tueng Thao near #ChiangMai in northern #Thailand. Of course, there’s a massive hay #gorilla there guarding the rice paddies, which is surprisingly life like. I kept my distance as I’ve seen enough sci-fi movies to know we were only one lighting strike / chemical spill away from a King Kong situation. Even so, #huaytuengtao was a relaxing place to chill and sit by the lake. Can’t wait to re-visit the #LOS later this year!
