You are a Sum of Your Experiences

There are many factors that ultimately shape who you are as a human being. Whether you believe in nature or believe in nurture as the fundamental building blocks to us as human beings, there can be no escaping the fact that your experiences add to who you are as a human being. The people that you meet, the places that you see, the customs and cultures that you learn to understand, all have an indelible impact upon how you view the world around you. There might be some factors that are bestowed upon you at birth, but we believe that your experiences do influence the way that you interact with the world. The Daily Post Discover Challenge this week is Finding Your Place, talking about the places that have shaped who we are. For us, it is a simple and yet complex answer. The places that have influenced us the most are those that have pushed our cultural limits. With that in mind, here are a few photos from the places that have stretched our limits the most, India, Morocco, Bolivia, and even Germany due to the length of time that we have been here. Each of these locations have left a distinct imprint on our souls and we will never be the same without these unique opportunities to view the world through different eyes.

Across the Rooftops

We have shared photos of cities from the heights of a tall building or tower previously because they provide wonderful views of the city. This week’s Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge is Roofs, so we decided to revisit the aerial views of some cities that focus on the rooftops below. We especially wanted to share this photo of the roof of Saint Stephen’s Church in the center of old town Vienna, Austria. In addition to this most recent picture, we decided to also share a couple of photos from Chennai, India, as we found the roofs and buildings there to be fascinating.

Daily Post Photo Challenge – Chaos

On November 8, 2016 By Isobar ExpeditionsIn India, Photo Challenge2 Comments

Things have been very hectic in our lives lately, so we see chaos in a lot of our daily experiences. With that said, this week’s Daily Post Photo Challenge reminds us of our trip to India, where everything about our time there seemed chaotic and sensually overwhelming. We couldn’t even imagine trying to drive on the roads in Chennai as there seemed to be no rhyme or reason to the honking and movements that occurred. In many ways it was an odd dance of cars, rickshaws, motorcycles, and animals that all seemed to move in their own unison, dysfunctional as it may have seemed. So enjoy these photos from India for this week’s photo challenge.
