The Victoria Memorial

For Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge – Blue and White, we immediately thought of the photo we had taken of the Victoria Memorial in London. It is a monument dedicated to Queen Victoria that is located in the circle across from Buckingham Palace. We just happened to catch the shot with a surprising clear blue sky, especially considering that there gray clouds just before and after we took this picture.

Daily Post Photo Challenge – Future

The future belongs to those who dare to dream of the impossible and make it a reality. Sure, that is probably a take on something famous that somebody has said, but that is how we define the future. So, for this week’s photo challenge about the future, we decided to use some pictures that we took fifteen years ago when we went to the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC.  You could probably say that we went to our past to describe the future.  It is one of our favorite museums in Washington and we’d highly recommend taking the time to go there if you ever get the chance.  Seeing the evolution of travel and the barriers that have been broken only serve to remind us that there will always be new breakthroughs year after year.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge – Freeways, Expressways, Highways

This is our first time attempting this particular challenge. With the exception of our trip to Iceland, we don’t have too many pictures taken of roads while driving, but we do have a couple.  Looking at all of the photos of highways has us singing “on the road again”. 🙂
