Coba - Mayan City

The Mayan City of Coba was first inhabited around 100 AD and was eventually abandoned when the Spanish conquered the peninsula around 1550 AD.. Due to its remote location, Coba is not as popular with tourists as other ruins in Mexico; however, the 42 meters (138 feet) pyramid is the only Mayan ruin that you can still traverse. Coba is located 44 km (27 mi) northwest of Tulum, in the State of Quintana Roo, Mexico.

Vík í Mýrdal

Captured here around 10pm is the picturesque village of Vík í Mýrdal. Vik is the southernmost village in Iceland, located on Route 1 around 180 km (110 mi) southeast of Reykjavík, on the coast of the northern Atlantic Ocean. Home to several amazing sites that should top your list while visiting Iceland, Vik is a definite must see destination.

Liberty Enlightening the World?

Image of the iconic Statue of Liberty during stormy times. On Lady Liberty her inscription reads “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

Winter Camping

I was driving home from Algonquin Park on a snowy cold January day when something captured my attention. In the midst of an area completely covered and surrounded by snow and ice, was this red tent that stood out in stark contrast. Winter camping at its extreme.

Just south of Barnaborg on the Western Peninsula of Iceland, I came across a solitary man peacefully Salmon Fishing on the Hitara River.

Sólfar - Sun Voyage

Sólfar the Sun Voyager, sitting on the Reykjavík waterfront, is a massive steel sculpture by artist Jón Gunnar Arnason. It may resemble a Viking ship, but was it was originally envisaged as dream boat and ode to the sun, based on a spiritual vision by Arnason. Curiously, Arnason was dying of leukaemia at the time the Sun Voyager was being constructed, so some argue that the Sun Voyager may have been viewed as a vessel that transports souls to the realm of death.
