Well...almost. 12 countries in 14 months, but I visited two separate land masses in a few countries in 2012 (Norway, Indonesia, Malaysia) if that counts?
This made me realize I should post more here. I have been so darn busy this last year I hardly have time to share my photos publicly. It was tough choosing between nearly 40,000 images taken in 2012, between great expansive landscapes, remotes areas of the Earth, endless pagodas, monasteries, temples, holy places, indescribable scenes with unreal flora and fauna, and some of the most welcoming hospitable people I have met despite their poverty. It was a humbling year to say the least, but here are a few of my favorites:
1.) My home country, USA... but not my home state. Ruby beach in the Pacific Northwest.
2.) Singapore, as seen from the marina.
3.) Doha, Qatar. A man makes a traditional rebab.
4.) Dubai, UAE. The Burj Khalifa as seen from above.
5.) Jerusalem, Israel. The scene inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
6. a) Preikestolen, Norway (mainland) looking down Lysefjord towards Lysebotn.
6. b) NyÅlesund, Norway (Spitsbergen). 79˚ North latitude, making it "the northernmost permanent settlement in the world".
7.) Santorini, Greece.
8.) Bathsheba, Barbados. Looking inland instead of out towards the surf.
9. a) Penang, Malaysia (mainland). A man shows me the art of pulled tea.
9. b) Kuching, Malaysia (Borneo). Boeing, an odd feeling to be so connected to the states and so far away.
10. a) Jakarta, Indonesia (Java). The scene from my hotel overlooking a slum before the rains.
10 b) Kalimantan, Indonesia (Borneo). An orangutang rehabilitation center on the Kahayan river, and a local guide's daughter showing the way.
11.) Ha Noi, Viet Nam. A local girl is distracted despite the chaos of traffic around her.
12.) Bagan, Myanmar. Dhammayangyi temple from 1100AD as seen from a hot air balloon.
