How about you do it in Dogy he would love it,

We’ve travelled a lot of Australia and I can honestly say it’s been one of the best journeys ever! We went through there during October and the wildflowers were tremendous! It’s such a good journey in itself, so we are heading that way again come this October again!

Wanna do it in an old Mack David Brownlow 😂😂....let’s wait till the roads completely shot this time......👌🏽

Built sometime around 1180, this incredible looking thing is a medieval stave church found in Borgund, Norway. Stave churches (stavkyrkje) are named for the “staves” (big wooden poles) that hold them up. Traditional ones are constructed solely from wood, using only joints, with no nails or glue! It’s the same mad woodworking skills that made the Vikings so good at boats.

At their peak in 12th to 14th century, it’s thought there were as many as 2,000 stave churches across Europe. Only 28 of them remain from this era, and they’re all found in Norway. ... See MoreSee Less

Kirovsky lies on the remote western coast of Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula. Once a bustling fishing village, it was abandoned in the 60’s after Japanese drift-netting in the area decimated the local fish population. The whole coast suffered much the same fate, eventually leading the Russians to ban Japanese fishing inside their exclusive economic zone (200 nautical miles from the coast) in 1978.

This is all that’s left of one of Kirovsky’s apartment buildings as the Sea of Okhotsk has its way with it. It’s kinda beautiful and creepy and sad all at the same time. ... See MoreSee Less

Wow! You know when I think of the Japanese culture I tend to think of rational pondered thought and action, yet to fish out a sea shows signs of irrational thought or desperation. Sad.

Surreal ....

Nabana No Sato (in the Mie Prefecture, about 80km east of Kyoto) is home to one of Japan’s largest flower gardens. It’s an impressive place all year round, but come winter, roughly mid-October to early May, they flip the switch on one of the most spectacular light shows you’re ever likely to see!

Covering almost 30,000 square metres, the extravagant display is made up of more than 8 million LEDs! That’s quite a lot, I bought a string of 500 for the patio at home and I had to tuck some of them behind a pot plant because it looked like the sun out there.

One of the park highlights is this Instagram-famous 100 metre tunnel of lights. Just the tunnel alone is made up of more than a million bulbs.

Every year they change the theme, so the displays always looks different. They also have some other neat stuff in the area, but no one’s going there for the shopping mall and hot springs. ... See MoreSee Less
