Weekly Photo Challenge: On The Move (3) – On A Tall Ship

In 1992 I had the amazing opportunity to spend a week on a Tall Ship (Morning Star) – crossing the North Sea  from Chatham, Kent (UK) to Vlissingen, Holland (Netherlands) and then cruising the canals and inland seas before returning. More of these pictures will be available soon on Netherlands 1992. This was very much On The Move but slowly!

Blogging across the Planet

T Minus 103

One of the fascinating things I have discovered in the past few months is the blogging community and the way you can get a real insight into every day life across the planet. As someone who enjoys seeing new parts of the world but who as yet seen such a small portion of the world outside of Europe it has been an eye opener.
It is also fascinating to see the locations of visitors recorded on the views counter day by day. We passed 9000 views yesterday so thanks to all who have been and read the musings of my daily life.

Some of you are anonymous – others I know through other Social Networks such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.
Another group of visitors are fellow bloggers and it has been great to see your locations through the pictures taken and words written. I have tended to seek out expatriate bloggers living or travelling in a foreign land as this is something we are embarking on.
Other bloggers are photographers and fellow participants in the WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge.

Here are just a few of the blogs who with whom I have interacted. There are more to the right if you are interested.
