Tell Me a Story - May

“Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself, and know that everything in this life has a purpose.”

~ Elizabeth Kubler Ross.

At Sea

A European Bee Eater that paid a visit to the ship for a few days. As I got closer to take the photo he moved away two steps, but I managed to get about two feet from him in this photo.

Another Sunset over the Persian Gulf. I love the textures of the water against the horizon.

Apologies for some of the poor picture quality. They were all taken with my iphone since I didn't have access to my computer to upload the pictures I took with my Canon.

Tell me a story: German Christmas Markets Part I

One of the nice things about Germany around the holidays is the Christmas Markets. This weekend I made it to a few (ok 5 to be exact), but who's counting. The picture quality is not the best as they were taken and edited with my iphone.

MidEvil Christmas Market atThallichtenberg Castle:

The next Christmas Market is in Wiesbaden

Couldn't resist having some nice warm Glubier

And finally the Christmas Market in Rüdesheim:
