Friendships from Frankfurt

One of the last things that we did before leaving Frankfurt was to go around to our favorite places and take photos of some of the friends that we had made. We feel fortunate to have met such wonderful people who were a tremendous help to us as we struggled to live in a foreign country where we knew very little of the language. This week’s Daily Post Photo Challenge is Friend, so here are just a few photos of the friends that we made during our time in Germany.

Passing in the Blink of an Eye

Time is going by very quickly and we are rapidly approaching the halfway point for the year. It seems like there is so much happening that we don’t have time to even think about our plans for the rest of the year as we are continuously caught up in the moment at hand. We just returned from another trip to Las Vegas, which we used for relaxation as opposed to seeing shows or gambling. It was our sincere intention to stay up with sharing posts while we were there, but we were so relaxed that we ended up not opening up our devices. This week’s Daily Post Photo Challenge is Evanescent, which is a fleeting moment in time. At this point, every day seems to fit this definition. Here are a few photos of our quick flight from Denver to Las Vegas, which is already becoming just a memory as daily life takes over once again.

Images from the Past

Since the dawn of man, cultures have been capturing images of themselves, their gods, and their lives in some form or another. Starting early on with cave drawings and then carving images out of stone. It is an important way that people have shared their beliefs and passed down their stories through time. This week’s Daily Post Photo Challenge is Heritage, so we decided to share some photos from Tiwanaku. The civilization that created these statues inhabited the areas of Bolivia and Peru over three-thousand years ago. Looking at their artwork is a window into the culture of these very mysterious, but sophisticated people.
