In the Thick of It

On April 4, 2017 By Isobar ExpeditionsIn Photo Challenge, South America11 Comments

We have started to contemplate our first adventure since arriving back in the States from Europe. One thing that we agreed upon when we were abroad was that we would focus on Central and South America after we returned home. With that in mind, the one place that keeps coming up in our conversations is Ecuador. We haven’t completely decided if that is where we will go next, but if it isn’t Ecuador, it will likely be someplace similar. It is hard to believe that is has almost been a year since our trip to Bolivia last May. This week’s Daily Post Photo Challenge is Dense, so we thought that we would share a few photos of the dense rainforest where we went hiking.

The Color of Spring

Even though the calendar says that it is Spring, here in Colorado, winter is holding on a little longer. For this week’s Daily Post Photo Challenge, It IS Easy Being Green!, we thought that we share a few photos that capture the essence of Spring. The first is of a butterfly resting on a bright green bush when we were in Carrasco National Park in Bolivia. The second is from an early season hike near our home in Colorado Springs.

Amsterdam from Above

We were fortunate that our hotel in Amsterdam, Netherlands, had incredible views of the city from its rooftop lounge. Seeing the labyrinth of buildings from above is always a wonderful way to get a true sense of a city. We have mentioned previously that we almost always try to see the places that we visit from both the street level as well as from a tall building, tower, hill, or even cable car. This was definitely true of the places that we visited while we were in Europe, so when this week’s Daily Post Photo Challenge came out with Atop, we had plenty of cities to choose from. Hopefully you’ll enjoy these views as much as we did.
