In the south of the Northern Australia region lies Uluru. Titled Ayers Rock, yet time indeterminate, this area is the Outback which Australia is famed. I was fortunate enough to make this trek via jet airliner from Sydney. Flying over acres and acres of brushland, it can be easy to overlook how the flora, fauna, […]
Recently, I visited Australia and swam, drove, biked, and walked around some of its best-known places. Today’s video presents photographs of Sydney, the capital city of New South Wales and the most populous city in Australia. In future posts, we visit the Outback, southern coast, and Great Barrier Reef. I started my tour at the […]
Cedar Breaks National Monument is a subalpine forest and meadow national monument. At 10,000 feet in elevation, the air is crisp, wildflowers sprout and grow even through the hottest months of summer, (the photographs in the video were taken in early August, 2023,) and night skies dazzle. A natural amphitheater, with walls over 2,000 feet […]
As explained in the last post, the Dinosaur Diamond is a National Scenic Byway in the states of Utah and Colorado, U.S.A. This post will show you that this area is important, not only nationally, (by the way, it is also a dynamic drive through the desert,) but is a world-leading dinosaur fossil feast-the biggest […]

There is a campground, many trails, and a very scenic drive in the Monument. Nearly within a stone’s-throw of U.S. Interstate 70, it makes a neat addition to a trip to […]
View this video, and get to know the only USA National Park south of the equator.
There are ways to travel, and then there are ways to travel. England has them all. Wherever I go, I like to use public transportation. You may see places that you have not noticed before, you might strike up a conversation with a local with broad knowledge of the area, and you will probably pay […]
In the heart of tourism season, a video of the Tower of London, England has been requested. The Tower of London is not a cliche, but the actual place and things you read about in stories and history. On display are fine artifacts such as shiny, metal armor, horse armor, cannons, bows and arrows, and […]
In these next two posts, I will be annotating two of the more familiar travel sites in Great Britain — Stonehenge and the Tower of London. By themselves, they are architecturally and historically important. Combined with their cultural and anthropological significance, you get a national park/monument type of experience as good as any in the […]
