Chasing the Sun

24 May

Earth.

It’s fun, chasing the sun. …a bit expensive, but oh so colorful.

Post #100. …figured I would go back to something I’m good at - photography.
…ok, not necessarily good, just more gooder than writing that is. It’s all relative.

A few from the past 100 and a few that will be in the next 100…

From top to bottom, left to right: Axum, Ethiopia // Yankari National Park, Nigeria // Lake Lagdo, Cameroon // Niokolo-Koba National Park, Senegal // Dahab, Egypt // Bagan, Myanmar // Mt. Nebo, Jordan // Kabul, Afghanistan // Dahab, Egypt // Halong Bay, Vietnam // Northern Sudan // Lake Tana, Ethiopia // Bagan, Myanmar // Simien Mountains, Ethiopia // Axum, Ethiopia // Bagan, Myanmar // Northern Sudan // Black Desert, Egypt // Black Desert, Egypt // Niokolo-Koba National Park, Senegal // Bagan, Myanmar.

I think it’s gonna be a lifetime pursuit…

    The sun, on it’s rising and even on it’s setting, is just plain glorious. Nice pictures!

    Gorgeous, all of them, but I have a paricular soft spot for the misty mountain shots.

      Dakota – thanks for looking and the compliment – and yes, every photo on every post on my blog was taken by myself.

      PS: I see your avatar everywhere but didn’t even know it was your blog I was commenting on. Also had to go back through my comments and kind you. Great pics…

      Edit: of course not the map pictures though :)

      Thanks,
      John

    more gooder? ROTFLMAO – OK – you win on the photography being better than the writing!

    Really great photos, John. I still like the bottom one – oh what the hell – I like them all!
