The Expeditioner’s March Travel Photography Contest Winner

In some cases, factors just simply operate out. Not normally, but sometimes. When this month’s winner, Diego Cupolo, was out on the streets of Caracas, Venezuela, that is precisely what took place. Here’s how Diego describes this month’s winner:

That photograph is a single of personalized favorites from my current trip to Caracas. Basically, I spotted the old guy drinking a coffee and reading a newspaper in good lighting so I asked him if I could snap a shot of him. Not like other locals, which usually turned me down or asked for funds, he merely mentioned “Si” and went about his company – as relaxed as an outdated man can be.

What do we imagine about “Guy vs. Robot?” Matt loved the juxtaposition– I like people folks that you run into on the streets that are sitting there, entirely oblivious. I’m sitting following to a fridge decorated as a robot — so what? Luke couldn’t deny his aggressive nature — I have been getting my revenue on Man for fairly a although, so seeing that this man of course has kicked this Robo-trash guy’s ass in the pic, this is heartening. Me, nicely, I like any image that drips of talent.

I inspire you to spin by Diego’s get the job done at his flickr Web page. He has several collections of amazing work, our image came from his Caracas 2010 Series. A lot of thanks for the submission Diego, we seem forward to seeing additional of your collection.

TheExped’s flickr group has been increasing steadily these last three months. We’re excited to invite you to get a search by way of the many unbelievable submissions (or use the Flickr icon at the leading appropriate of the web page), join us, and get posting! Each month, we will be selecting our favorite photo to attribute with the photographer’s thoughts behind the shot.

Visit Wanaka Lavender Farm, New Zealand: Tips + Things to Know

Image
I couldn’t hold in my excitement as we drove up the dirt driveway to the Wanaka Lavender Farm. The view to the right was a riot of purple against a pale blue sky, with dark green trees and summer-dried mountains between. As we got closer to the lavender, the hum of bees began to fill the air. I’ve always wanted to visit a lavender farm, but I never thought I’d be doing it during our honeymoon in New Zealand! Running (carefully) through lavender fields is something I’d pictured more easily in somewhere like France, so when we found out about the Wanaka Lavender Farm from our Airbnb hosts, I really wanted to go. The area around Wanaka is well known for outdoor adventure and adrenalin-inducing activities, so taking time to chill out and soak in a bit of the beautiful surroundings at a peaceful location sounded ideal. Plus. Lavender Farm. Need I say more? Started about 6 years ago by two brothers, Tim and Stef Zeestraten, the lavender farm in Wanaka consists of 10 acres of lavende...

Wicklow Mountains National Park, Ireland – With Samsung S9 Plus

Image
The Wicklow Mountains National Park is one of my favourite places in Ireland and I don’t know why it has taken me this long to write about it. I took a trip up there very early one weekend to test out the new Samsung S9 Plus as part of a collaboration with Three UK and Samsung. I had never driven up there that early and it was incredible. There were no bus loads of tourists and there was an atmospheric mist hanging around making everything look simultaneously eerie and beautiful. Here’s some of my favourite spots, facts and photos from the national park .  The Wicklow Mountains National Park, Ireland About Wicklow Mountains National Park The Wicklow Mountains National Park is somewhere most Irish people take for granted. We all love a little Sunday trip to Glendalough, especially if someone is over visiting. However, there’s a lot more to the national park than Glendalough. The park sprawls across more than 54,000 acres, making it the largest National Park in ...

American Gothic (Grant Wood) © dreamstime Now hanging up in the Art Institute of Chicago, American Gothic is one of the most famous paintings of 20th Century rural Americana. Grant Wood’s defining masterpiece was painted in 1930 and depicts a farmer and his daughter standing in front of what is now known as the American Gothic House. Initially, locals and art critics took the somber tones and characters’ puritanical clothes as a critique of rural life. The onset of the Great Depression, however...
