Daily Post Photo Challenge – Local

This week’s photo challenge of Local was an easy one for us considering our move into a new country and neighborhood. We have mentioned this place a couple of times already and the reason for that is that it has become our favorite local watering hole. In fact, one of the bartenders, Dadan, called his wife to get a list of sites that ended up helping us to find our new home. We have found the Alten Limpburg to be the perfect place to grab a pint and a glass of wine to unwind at the end of a long day.

The Daily Post Photo Challenge – H2O

Capturing the motion of water can be difficult, but when it works, it can also be very beautiful. There are all sorts of opportunities to capture water in motion whether a river, waves on a beach, or a tropical waterfall. Even with all of those choices, for this week’s challenge of H2O we went back to perhaps a more simplistic view, an urban view, the water flowing from fountains in various forms. It is a constant all over the world, wherever you go you will find beautiful waterfalls, but sometimes the water itself steals the show and not the ornate statues that adorn the fountain itself. Here are a few of our favorite shots where the water is captured, frozen in the moment.

Daily Post Photo Challenge – Nostalgia

On October 4, 2016 By Isobar ExpeditionsIn Photo Challenge2 Comments

There will likely be many things that remind us of times past as we discover new sights, sounds, and tastes, so this week’s challenge seems pretty apropos. As we get the opportunity to see the variety of beautiful castles, hopefully including the one in Austria that Cinderella’s castle was supposedly modelled after, we are reminded of our very first vacation as a family. When the kids were very young, we drove across the desert to visit Disneyland. It was long and exhausting, but truly one of the best family vacations ever. We are hoping that the children will make it over here to take advantage of the opportunity to make some new memories of their own. So, for this week’s challenge of nostalgia, here are some photos (scanned in, of course) from a little over 20 years ago.
